Was this person supposed to meet someone and give them this backpack, give them a ride? The person looks like they are either coughing, smoking a vape, or putting something in their mouth when they walk up and when they are walking away. I was trying to zoom in to see if they had earbuds in for their cell phone. Jmoo.

or, just a strange coincidence

I have an off the wall question.....if the pacemaker continues working after it stops syncing, could you clone the phone app onto several phones and locate the pacemaker? What would be the farthest distance between the pacemaker and the app to get a sync? If the distance is 30 feet or less, when searchers are walking fields, roadsides and other places, maybe having a clone app on their phone would help locate someone that couldn't hear searchers calling their name.

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!

This is where I would say - you report to your direct supervisor, Private (imo)

Yes, good point and likely the case.

Outdoor electrical panels? That’s wild! And an easy way to get someone out of bed and outside. AC shutting off would wake me up.

AC runs in AZ even in the winter?
I wouldn't wake up if heat/AC shut off until I got too cold or too hot.

Day twelve, with no description issued to the public of a suspect vehicle. It’s dark in NG’s area but does someone familiar with the area know if there are better lit roads nearby, with cameras? If so, how far away are they?

BBM:
Agreed. It sounds like someone who's disgruntled/complaining about the fact that they don't have a larger role.

It will be someone from the Sheriff's Office who said that, not an FBI agent.

An FBI agent is a professional who knows and understands chain of command.

JMO.

Most likely correct

- sent with much appreciation.

Also, just a tad off topic on my part

IMO.

OK. We get it.

Do you realize that you are addressing the lady that created this site?

New Video of Man with Similar Backpack Shot Just Before Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping

The man in this video -- recorded just 5 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home -- is on the FBI's radar -- TMZ has learned -- and the timing of the video is critical.

www.tmz.com

Video of a man with similar backpack just before kidnapping. WoW

Man with similar backpack is like man with similar Nike shoes. I can't believe TMZ put this out or it's getting any traction.

 

[Tugb0ats]

Also think they should look into restaurants NG, and maybe even her and AG together, went to in past 2 months. Where one or both of them had complained a lot. If they were together and it was AG who threw a fit, then maybe someone wanted to punish her.

I get exploring possibilities, but that seems like a far reach. There’s nothing to suggest a restaurant complaint would connect to something this serious.

I know. Neither one is the ozark trail backpack and the jacket isn’t the same either…

Yes I mean that is looking basically to find a reason this is AG - it likely imo isn't and some details re: the purpose intent and where she is will hopefully be filled in soon moo

If she wore hearing aides and did not have them in at night, perhaps she would not hear the AC shutting off. My mom wears them (not at night) and no way would she hear the AC was not running. I tease her that a marching band could come through and she'd be oblivious.

Is this a troll or should LE take this seriously. Thoughts?

TMZ has received another email from the person who claims to know the identity of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper ... and the words are chilling.

I wouldn't notice for a bit if the AC/Heat was off but I'd notice very quickly if the fan turned off LOL

Maybe in 2 weeks LE will decide to deposit <300 to see what happens @@

I'm still in shock that someone could get away with this for this long. Poor Nancy.

WATCH: Nancy Guthrie's route home before disappearance | Fox News Video

Fox News Digital provided an exclusive look at Nancy Guthrie's ride home before she disappeared over the weekend.

www.foxnews.com

Video of the route from AG to NG's house. There are a lot of businesses on the way to NG's house. It gets more secluded the closer you get to her house, but still, I'm sure the perpetrator turned off of that main road. How many cars are out from 2-3am? His vehicle must've been caught somewhere, at some point.

I just hope they know more than they're letting on and that maybe one of the tips they got will lead to him.

WalMart should have a section "Crime", like "Housewares" or "Automotive". One aisle could be items needed for committing crimes (ski masks, holsters, gloves, duct tape, shovels, etc) , the other aisle could be for cleaning up from crimes (bleach, paper towels, etc).
just kidding of course!!!

And an indoor cafe named "Alibi"!

 

[sony12]

I don't think any ransom notes should be taken seriously at this point. It will be almost two weeks now. The chances that she is still alive at this point is very slim.
