I am American with Italian citizen and I speak Italian. So, if anyone finds anything about the BIL on an Italian website that Google translate can't help with, give me a shout.

Realtor.com shows home was on the market October 2024 and taken off the market. Last month, electrical work was done on the home that required permits (https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/M2579120168)

I looked up the building permit info on Pima County's permit gateway. Permit was pulled September 2025 and passed inspection last month. (Public Record - Search Link: Records Search)
Project description:

Electrical Equipment; Upgrade under 400amps; MPU or MSA

That being said, it is safe to assume, workers have been on/in that property in 2025 and as recently as this year.

Sorry Everyone.
This is taking a bit longer. I'm reopening the thread and will be back with an announcement as soon as possible.

JMO Just seems to me that if AB is such a great friend to SG why on earth would she implicate SG's sister by suggesting that her husband is a potential suspect. Glad that I have dear friends who would never do something like that to me. JMO

Nanos today Wednesday:
Despite reports circulating Wednesday morning that Nancy Guthrie’s son-in-law had been identified as a possible suspect, Nanos quickly shot that down on Wednesday as well.

“At this point, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case,” Nanos said in a statement posted to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department’s Facebook page. “Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family. While we appreciate the public’s concern, the sharing of unverified accusations or false information is irresponsible and does not assist the investigation. No suspect or person of interest has been identified at this time.”

Would you need a screwdriver or some sort of tool to remove it?

There is a special tool that comes from Nest to remove it but you can easily just use a screwdriver to pop it off.

...And one of the only motives that made sense to me was a possible family member wanting an inheritance.

Sister's car was just towed by LE? That is major.

Or, didn't have the money to pay back a loan, perhaps, for the house. I believe that I read that AG and husband moved 10 minutes from NG about a year ago. Their house either cost $650k or is worth that. Did they have to borrow money from a family member with the promise to repay? Just throwing this out there. It is mere speculation.

JMO.

Well, Banfield had broken her story claiming SIL "may be" a suspect according to an inside LE source, so I can understand why they are covering their faces from the DM cameras, especially if social media is running rampant with speculation and accusations and I can't see why it wouldn't be. They will probably end up with stalkers and threats despite LE formally countering these claims today. Jmo

What time did AB’s report come out? Was it her regular daily program and if so what time does it usually come on?

The AZ public records show they put a down payment of $295k for the current home after selling their previous home. The loan is in their names only - nobody else. There doesn't appear to be any type of financial distress with the property.

It was about 11pm mountain time I believe, and it was her “ drop dead serious” channel”

This is a Christmas Photo photo of the family from Nancy's Facebook page (source).

Nancy's son in law, Tommaso is on the right. I'm just not seeing this man having anything to do with Nancy's disappearance and I'm kind of appalled at Ashleigh Banfield's report which implicates him when there is no confirmation from Law Enforcement.

I can't imagine the damage an accusation like this has done to the family.
I'm so hoping that Nancy is okay, wherever she is.

Edit - I have chosen to blur the faces of the children as they're minors.

NBC News reporting now (1:09 CST): Sheriff: NO suspects ID'ed in search for Nancy. We are "Holding out hope that she's alive..."

 

[browneyes]

valid point but the address listed for him was sold in June of 2025 and the new house purchase was March 2025 so

My daughter and her husband own two homes…one they rent out. I don’t see the confusion.

 

[moonbeams]

I believe LE is stating she needs meds, and can’t move well, to try and get sympathy from whoever may have her in hopes that they may release her. MOO

My reply was to someone saying that they would have “put NG to bed”…. Had nothing to do with LE comments or her need for meds.

It was last night pretty late. I saw it in the 11 o’clock hour AZ time.

Thank you for finding this information. I really have felt that it is someone who has been in her house unrelated to family.

Would they be trying to drain the pool? JMO

 

[Friday Fan]

I mean, AB's been around plenty long enough to know the legal ramifications of defamation/slander/libel.

Did she say qualify her statements about the SIL with "allegedly, reportedly" to cover herself?

If not, she must either really, really, really trust her source or be really, really, really desperate for cash, or both.

JMO.

You can find the video here. Edited because I don't want to draw attention to the specific video that gets everyone watching it. I originally posted a link to the video, but wanted to "deactivate" the link to text only, but couldn't figure out how.
