They need to throw all these scammers in prison
This person is interesting. If they truly knew the kidnapper but they themselves were not involved in the crime in any way, they can report to the FBI and get the $50K reward. So yeah, either a scammer or someone closely involved in the kidnapping (could be the kidnapper themselves).

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department tells us, “We’re looking for video from January 1 - February 2. PCSD is about to send out an alert through the neighbors app, wants people to pay attention to who is sending out alerts, and make sure it’s from officials. Alert will be sent out to those who live in a 2 mile radius of the Guthrie residence. Investigators are reviewing video submitted by neighbors.”

Ok so back to a range...but why wasn't this gathered earlier...unless they are just reiterating their previous requests...

This is interesting.

How was he on film at 2:12 a.m. if the nest cam was disconnected at 1:47 a.m.?

Does it continue to record whether disconnected or not?

In other words who knows how much footage and what all was recorded on that camera? Holy crap!
Nest cam had batteries so it continued recording. MO

LE would really benefit from a press conference and I wish they weren't sheepish about doing one. Restate the timeline (and add anything new that you might want to), broadcast the pictures again of the suspect on the porch, share a few answers via pre-selected questions that can help provide clarity, don't even have to take any live. I'm crossing my fingers that we might get one once they have height figured out but not optimistic at this point. :(

TMZ is turning this into a circus, and Harvey whats-his-face is the carnival barker.

They're NOT helping LE with all these sideshow ransom note headlines.

If they get something from purported kidnappers, they should share it with the FBI & NG's family.
Keep it out of the public domain.
Go back to reporting the latest salacious celebrity scandals or whatever.

JMO.
If they get a ransom note, I don't see why they can't talk about it. Thats my opinion though

Don't wanna take this conversation to another place so please just like this if any of you remember the Jayme Closs kidnapping and being just utterly shocked at how bad and unorganized LE was. I am getting very similar frustration with this.
I recall she got herself out of the situation basically.

Not true at all. I’m in the area and have multiple porch lights on every night and the majority of my neighbors do too. I have never heard of anyone getting fined for lights against the lighting ordinance, it’s more of a technicality when building than anything.

It's so good to have your perspective here.

I know they said the family did not hire outside help. But, I think if I were a member of the Guthrie family, I might consider hiring a PI at this point, especially after all of this back-and-forth nonsense that seems to be developing.

Good Lord. They are just now "looking for video from January 1 - February 2" ??? And just now "about" to send an alert through the neighborhood app?? Make sure it's from officials. Great. Luckily the neighborhood group has been more on the ball. Why didn't LE do this immediately. Even to say, PLEASE PRESERVE ANY FOOTAGE FROM JANUARY 1 - FEBRUARY 2" to at least ensure it didn't get overwritten. Honest to God, I have watched my local neighborhood lost pet Facebook groups act more proactive and organized than this investigation.

Actually, this is not too surprising given the relative smallness of the local sheriff's office versus the huge army of investigators who have moved in to help.

Typically, the local group is in charge... but I am guessing with the expertise of the FBI and since this is largely a very technical investigation, they are deciding and probably asking the officers to do most of the grunt work so "orders" are coming from the FBI thru the local sheriff's office.

This is the fog of battle on a very mysterious non-traditional big case.

We, as a group, are not without criticism. Many of us go on "hunches" and supposition from other posters... not the facts.

Glad we are not in charge!

I don't believe in coincidences; that backpack looks identical to the perps on NG’s front porch. Notice the back of it when he’s flipping it around to the pic of perp’s backpack on NG’s porch – it’s just as taunt. There’s no reason anyone should be in an alleyway trying to get into another’s back yard. Why are they blocking the alleyway perps face?

MOO.......
I agree that they do look identical.

I would assume since homeowner likely provided it that this would be illegal trespass, would that still not be enough reason to post actual video. I understand that still wouldn't mean they were a suspect, but...
In my neighborhood he would have been posted to the community on FB “Does anyone know this guy that’s trespassing on my property at date/time”

Um, that would have been helpful to ask the first day she was noticed missing.
 
  • #24,578
MOO someone needs attention.

Agree. Not buying it.
He could just as easily report what he knows, get police protection and eventually the $50,000 reward. Nope.
In my opinion, the kidnapping angle has sailed away. I don’t know why NG was taken, but I doubt seriously anymore that it was for ransom.

If it's real, we can definitely say the person demanding $$ has no morals. An 84 yr old woman, and they want money to rescue her? What has become of ethics?
