How long would that take realistically?

It's the highest priority. It is touch DNA though, so they wouldn't be able to use Rapid DNA technology on it. From what I can gather, it would take 1-3 days, with my guess being the lower end of that.

 

[Trino]

No body no evidence no cause of death able to be determined no crime possibly?

No crime except for the gun on the camera.

 

[maskedwoman]

I just had an interesting thought. Hoax or not, I would very much like to imagine the perp freaking out all day, wondering who on earth was going to turn him in for 1 bitcoin.

IMO, LE doesn’t continue returning to a location over and over without cause and a working theory. At this point, LE has been at AG’s house as much as NG’s. And they aren’t leaving empty handed.

Unless they are trying to find something to substantiate their only theory based on last known to see her alive + family, and they can't find it but keep trying b/c they don't know what other direction to go in.

So much about this case is confusing. Why would you take a woman from her home to kill her? If it simply to kill her, why not there at the house?

It brings me back to what I speculated at the beginning: you'd remove a body if you felt shame.

But I'm still thinking she might have left home walking. If so, I have no idea why someone would take her except ransom, and I am thinking the ransom notes are a hoax by an opportunist.

And then my head goes in circles.

Thank you!

In which video? Do you have a link? I am only aware of the two videos officially posted on the FBI site. I just re-watched both, and don't see a rope being picked up anywhere.

Trust me it's there . The 27 second one . Walks up, puts hand to camera , walks back to porch entrance , takes a step to the right, picks up rope. Starts walking back to door
I AM TOTALLY WRONG ABOUT THE ROPE ,DISREGARD PLEASE.

 

[Deepinthought52]

Seeing as after over a week there has been no apprehension of any suspect except an unconnected man who someone said had similar eyes to the porch man, I guess it is safe to assume family members or their associates are unlikely to be involved. I mean, if they are going after some random guy... It's obvious they really have no idea who did this.

Im not sure about that totally. Just because they may not be person on the cam footage, would not necessarily mean no connection. I’m not saying there is, but until it’s confirmed by LE, I wouldn't assume there isn’t. Jmo

I am not disgusted because one doesn't have to tune into the live stream(s) if they don't want to and if the people in that neighborhood are doing something wrong I'm sure LE would be all over it. If people feel harassed they won't have to go far to report it because LE is in the area or they can call it in.

I've seen media like this at many scenes. I lived near the Anthony's when Caylee Anthony went missing. Our streets were overrun with media and searchers. We (my parents and I) understood though because Caylee was missing. We wanted as much attention on her as possible even if it got crazy at times.

I see some people don't like certain media and/or YouTubers reporting in the area. That's ok. Don't watch them.


Moo.

Can't believe people complaining about LE trying to control comings and goings at NGs house. My goodness. The poor woman is missing.

How long would that take realistically?

If the person has ever been arrested and is in the system, not that long. But if they have to use genealogy DNA, that could take a while to come up with possible relatives.

if the perp's in codis they could then find him within hours. but if they have to resort to FGG, that takes months in the best cases.

 

[loves2readhistory]

They actually can assist LE to some extent. Maybe they can look for a body etc. See that it's night, they may have heat sensing equipment etc.

They showed up in Uvalde and it was a BP agent who finally shot the Robb Elementary school shooter.

It looks like they're going where others haven't been able to go. I don't think this is immigration enforcement.

There is a Border Patrol station in Uvalde area. There was call for all LEOs to the school so they came—thankfully.
Heat seeking cameras wont find NG at this stage IMO

 

[Monepone]

Can someone clarify why the Amazon package is still sitting there unopened? I would think it would be important to confirm whether it contains anything relevant to the case. With all the letters and ransom notes they are reporting showing up after the night NG went missing, please help a gal understand why they wouldn’t look in it? And take it away?

I raised the same issue yesterday. Even if it's something symbolic that could have been sent by the kidnapper.

 

[BenjaminJAndersonAlly]

Or is that a photo of him captured after committing the crime..? Walking back to the house after using the gun

SBMFF

I do not think he ever used the gun at Nancy’s (unless he pistol whipped her in the face to cause nose bleed or something).

If she had been shot, there would have been far more blood, and doorstep/front walk would have looked much different.

My opinion and conjecture only.

 

[armchairagatha]

I agree, but if it was a kidnapping, why didn't the kidnappers send proof of life so they'd get their money and NG could come home? All I can think is that something happened very early with NG, and proof of life was impossible. I also agree that the media circus around this has been insane.

It is either something happened to her unexpectedly or the kidnappers are afraid they will be busted if they try to send proof of life. Digital forensics is very sophisticated these days especially when FBI is involved.

Blu shirt? I missed that

I'd like to know about that package? It wasn't there when the pics of this guy was at the door that I saw. IMO

I had presumed (maybe wrongly) that this was earlier video footage that they had cut short and now were showing in full...

Nope. It’s flowers. Lantana to be specific

 

[txsleuth70]

That is still strange since the guy was already cleared before midnight yesterday I think?? Or was it today?

Nah, they were just trying to get in front of any DD driver bashing...à la Uber driver (not related to this case) scandal.
