I keep wondering if something like this happened. But it seems like they would have mentioned a safe or valuables missing?? That’s the only part that puzzles me….
Police recover large amount of cash after arrest in Duplantier murder case

Snipped from article posted above:
An arrest warrant connected to the murders of Denis and Suzanne Duplantier says a large amount of cash was taken from their home and the couple was likely beaten until they allowed entry into their safe.

Baton Rouge Police officials say a large amount of money was recovered by BRPD after the arrest of the murder suspect.

The new details come just hours after a news conference was held to announce the arrest of a man who is accused of strangling a Baton Rouge couple.

Investigators said he was caught in Miami early Wednesday morning.

He was a handy man for 71-year-old Denis Duplantier and 70-year-old Suzanne Duplantier, police say. He was staying on their property and was sometimes an employee of the victims, according to the arrest warrant for Alonzo.

Family of the Duplantiers say they last spoke to the couple on Sunday, October 18, 2015 around 1:30 p.m. On Monday night, Baton Rouge Police were called after the Duplantier's children say they could not get in touch with their parents. They told police their parents were not at home, the house was left open, and a large amount of money had been taken. Their father's pickup truck was also missing, according to the warrant.

The arrest warrant states during a search of the Duplantier's home, blood was found in multiple rooms, "consistent with a physical confrontation."

After investigators used OnStar to track Denis Duplantier's missing truck, they found the couple's bodies in the backseat of a pickup truck that was parked at a Petro gas station in Hammond, LA. Surveillance video shows the pickup being parked and a suspect police believe to be Alonzo, get out and into another vehicle that had an accomplice inside.

The investigation revealed the victims were bound and beaten by the suspect until he gained entry into the couple's safe, where he obtained a large amount of money, according the warrant. The suspect is then accused of strangling Denis and Suzanne before driving to Hammond where the bodies were left.

When Alonzo was arrested, the warrant states "items consistent with those used in the homicide were located," when his property was searched.

Evidence from the Duplantier's home was also collected and led officials to believe Alonzo to be the prime suspect, according to the warrant.

How sad. Hopefully FBI have interviewed any part-time employee's at the property already. JMO

Are we 100% sure NG’s phone was found at her home?

I don't think we can be 100% sure of anything in this case. Sheriff has said things he's had to walk back. Media has said things that have required a correction or been found not to be the case by other sources. Information that is disclosed seems to leave out any details that might clarify things. The only things I'm 100% sure about are that NG is missing and this is beyond a nightmare for her family.

 

[nightowl2728]

Unless maybe a strange phone pinged a cell tower near NG and they are trying to figure out if AG/SIL have a burner phone. IMO it appears they don't have much else and are reverting back to the "usual suspects" so to speak (last known to see her & immediate family) even if there isn't anything else to tie them to it. And I wouldn't be surprised if the info that doesn't align with it being them, they just keep investigating to figure out why it should align (vs clearing them and focusing elsewhere) JMO

I'm sure LE has SO much info on the family at this point. The "dinner" that night, driving Nancy back, ring type videos that could possibly corroborate those facts, text messages, etc.
I did think SIL was a suspect early on but moved away from that.
But, it still odd how things keep coming back to SIL/AG's home, questioning neighbors, etc.
I don't think it's been said that LE is doing the same for NG's close friends/neighbors (homes she may have been at often, perhaps more often than AG's), etc.

 

[unresolvedmystery]

LE isn't revealing much about NG's blood that was found in her home. Likely an important reason that we aren't privy to. MOO

Perhaps it showed signs of being planted there or was somehow coagulated or diluted?

 

[Officer Dibble]

I'm not sure how reliable or relevant this is, but a quick search of the term "Can you trace bitcoin" on Google Trends shows that there was a hit, in Arizona, on the 20th January. Over the last 30 days there were hits for the same search term in only 6 of the 50 states in the USA. The only search that appeared prior to NG's disappearance? The one in Arizona.

Apologies of this has been posted previously, or can be easily debunked, I just thought it was interesting.

That is a great find. Please report it in (though they are flooded with reports atm). If you hear nothing back try again after a few days.

I'm not 100% sure of anything anymore!

The Arizona DPS alert said Nancy's cell phone was found at her home.

It is strange, unless Megyn confused her words, it sounds like they really do want to know if Nancy's neighbours have anything they want to share about AG and SIL. Its likely they would have been at Nancy's home alot, maybe they observed something, heard something, suspected something - maybe not even directly related to Nancy's disappearance, just in general

This is what confuses me and what the Sheriff has just said - its contradictory. Either they are taking a long time to rule out all the family, or they are having trouble ruling out all the family

This is why we are right to remain suspicious of AG and SIL

I agree and I think that's the main takeaway. Everyone keeps saying there's no evidence pointing to family, but we don't know that. The FBI and SO aren't sharing everything they have. Do I think they're guilty? Unlikely. Do I think SIL was the guy in the video? No. But who knows. One possibility is that LE gave the family the benefit of the doubt early on, as often happens when people are white and well connected, and maybe evidence and information has come in that is causing them to rethink their approach? Again, doesn't mean they're guilty, but it might explain why we're seeing continued activity at AG's house. JMO.

TMZ posts another video, again the face is blurred out, but you can still see they have a mustache like the person who abducted Nancy. Who knows if it's the same guy, but it's a lead nonetheless.

He appears to be carrying coveralls like painters wear, and something the shape and size of a paint roller.

Well, the two of them do make convenient suspects: close to NG, the "poor kids" of the family, creators of kinda morbid and creepy poems and songs, last people to see her.

But if they are eventually charged, hopefully it will be for much more concrete evidence than those details, though.

I DO hope that the FBI agents working this case are long term agents with years of expertise, and not newbies. JUST MY OPINION

I give Megyn Kelly and Ashleigh Banfield the same credibility rating as Nancy Grace or the National Enquirer. They are true crime entertainers employed to craft narratives that keep people engaged. MOO. I would not take these claims as fact unless reported on elsewhere.

I agree... a lot of perps in recent years have very creepy/antisocial social media

Not saying that incriminates anyone, they're just not generally well adjusted people, at the time of the crime at least

There was a young man that killed his ex gf and her new situationship while asleep at a college near where I grew up some years ago, and his social media photos (what was released in the news) all looked fairly healthy and normal. But then once more recent photos came out later, you could immediately see that he was in severe mental/health decline

 

[Derdew]

Her DNA was recovered in her home but they can't say if it was blood. Why not? I hope and pray she wasn't s*xually assaulted.

That was my first thought

Eh, MK interviewed Vladimir Putin but okay. IMO

 

[NoseyRecluse]

I actually interpret Megyn's transcript as AG's neighbors. I think AG's neighbors would have more insight into their character than Nancy's. The phone thing is weird, though. Unless there's a solid connection between the two locations, the intruder wouldn't have dropped a phone in AG's neighnorhood. It's all so confusing.

It was like she threw the phone comment in there as something she was just reminded of, that had nothing do with what she had been talking about.

Were you aware that last evening News Nation had posted this? :

Sheriff in Nancy Guthrie case withholding key evidence, FBI says

“This is dumb,” the source told NewsNation, adding that the bureau stepped in at the sheriff’s request. “The FBI wants to find Nancy.”

[turaj]

not up to date here but the pool cleaners have arrived to clean Nancy's pool. I assume it is getting cloudy with no chems. They are taking their poles back there. Are they there to clean the pool or interview? I would think interview would be elsewhere. This is crazy.
