It’s also possible that these items were purchased secondhand/at a thrift. At most thrift shops with computerized checkout systems, the price tags scanned only indicate a general category, (Men’s shoes, Women’s blouse, etc.) At the smaller thrift stores, it’s even less “official”, IME.

Yeah, agreed. I have done a decent amount of thrift shopping at a variety of store types and sizes, and I've never seen any indication that they keep inventory at the level of granularity that would be required to find records of someone who bought a specific type of backpack, if that's where it was bought. Not saying the info couldn't be found, perhaps via scouring video footage or even an employee who happened to remember. I just personally doubt, based on my experience, that computerized purchase records would be very fruitful in this one specific context. (To be clear, I am not saying that it's my opinion that it was bought at a thrift store, and I have no info suggesting that — just addressing the point someone brought up earlier about it being a possibility and how that might be tracked down....) MOO

Maybe they are setting up a replica camera in the same spot and filming someone with known measurements to try to hone in on better height estimate for the mask guy. Like establishing a baseline.

I understand why people may believe this is a burgarly gone wrong, and it very well could be, but why put yourself out there even more by taking her - whether alive or not? It's more risky, no? Afterall, s/he had face covered. I wonder the what if's a lot BUT I wonder had she had a Life Alert if it would have helped. I think two people were involved.

If a burgarly gone wrong, what's with the smashed lights in the backyard? That seems like overkill (and potentially noisy).

Every idea that is reasonable still doesn't fit.

At this point I'm considering it was done for the thrill of it and the motive won't be more than that. I think the ransom was a hoax by an opportunist. I'm NOT committed to this theory and remain firmly on the fence, but "no reason" for the crime might be the reason.

I guess better late than never.

I'm not sure about that guy they arrested either..there is more to the story about him in terms of being turned in by his mother or whatever it was and his background and the delivery situation. Hopefully they got DNA from him someway, during the interview.

it just seems like the are doing everything in reverse and it's really weird. mOO

Ultrasound 4K mini cams are used by law enforcement at crime scenes:

Scene documentation before disturbance​

Investigators aim to preserve the original condition of a scene. A mini cam allows close-range, high-resolution video capture of:

• The body’s position and orientation
• Surrounding objects and room layout
• Bloodstain patterns or trace evidence
• Entry/exit points and pathways

Because the device is small, it can capture angles that a standard handheld camera might miss without requiring investigators to step into sensitive areas and risk contaminating evidence.

Close-up forensic recording​

Mini cams are useful for documenting:

• Injuries or markings on the body prior to movement
• Identification features (tattoos, scars, jewelry)
• Small items near or under the body
• Tight spaces (under furniture, behind objects)

This creates a continuous visual record that can later be reviewed in court.

Chain-of-custody and procedural transparency​

Some agencies use continuous video recording during recovery to show:

• How the body was handled and transported
• What evidence was collected and when
• That protocols were followed

This protects both the integrity of the investigation and the personnel involved.

Confined-space inspection​

In cluttered or hazardous environments (e.g., hoarding situations, fire damage, structural instability), a small camera can be extended into spaces before investigators physically enter, reducing risk and minimizing disturbance.

---

Importantly, these cameras are not used to locate bodies through walls or floors (that would require radar or thermal imaging technology, which is a different class of equipment). Their role is documentation and safe inspection once investigators are already on scene.

Swabbing the floor for DNA in the exact sample places where the perpetrator was seen walking on in the video!

They may find Brian Entin's. That crime scene shouldn't have been released so soon especially when Sheriff Nanos said they were still working on trying to recover the nest cam videos.

The entire case should have been turned over to the FBI, this was far too big for the Sheriff's Dept to handle.

Why a tent now? There? Usually the tents only go up to shield the public from the recovery of remains.

We need a "confused" reaction emoji.

 

[danablue1]

Why didn't this happen Feb 1 or 2?

Exactly

 

[Deleted member 117884]

Why didn't this happen Feb 1 or 2?

Or least before the video was released to the public. imo

It would be nice if there were cameras, but probably not at a smaller shop.

Can anyone here quickly share where the gloves were found? Like in, exact location? I know it has been stated 1.3 miles away--but did anyone ever mention an exact location?

Just curious that if the gloves are related which direction they were headed and what we sluethers can glean from that.

 

[nycpizzaparty]

We don't actually know what they are doing behind that tent. I know we speculate on here but it's not facts. Nobody can see through the tent.

I think ime that for some people/families tend to do it more than others even those not necessarily wealthy. In my circle I have known some people who everyone in their family has an alarm setting in their home. It wasn't a thing for anyone in my family and I honestly wish my parents would as they get older and do have people come to do wok on the home

Security cameras are a “normal” thing in Jamaica. I have the blink system at my house, (purchased on Amazon) but also synced to all the Alexa devices that announces motion / detection when armed. My mother and Aunt are both 83 and live in a very large home, on many acres so they have a professional security system, which sounds alarms directly to the security company if detection is picked up when armed.

 

[SaraSmile]

Surely this should have been done on day 1.

Right, crazy it took 3 days to decide to swab for evidence.

This makes the most sense!

I am not the OP but trash ends up on the side of the road ALL the time. My property has a decent amount of road frontage and I am constantly picking up gloves, shoes, caps, general trash, cups, fast food bags, beer bottles etc. that have been "kindly deposited" on my property. From the bed of a truck, or open window. Or from someone littering. It doesn't have to be on purpose.

This person has clearly never walked along the side of the road, or anywhere, lol. I walk past shoes, pants, jackets, underwear, shirts, socks, gloves, hats, and everything you can think of on my walk home from work. I always have questions, but I never get answers from the universe.

Hesitating to post as I’m so far behind (I went to sleep and am now approximately 3,000 posts behind!) so apologies in advance if I should know this: Do we know the reason for the request for nearby camera footage from a date of a couple of weeks ago?
TIA!

I too am way behind here but I heard about the Jan. 11th request and assume it would have to d o with workers coming or going or could be reports of someone casing the home. Now there is a tent at the front door with investigators going in and out.
