I’m surprised that we haven’t heard about a suspicious vehicle etc seen on neighbors security cameras etc. Seems like the type of neighborhood that would have plenty of cameras. I would have suspected to have heard about that within a few days. Perhaps authorities are still working on what vehicles seen on cameras have reasons to be in that area etc etc. I just really thought when the story first broke we’d have a make and model of vehicle very quickly. Not sure what to think at this point tbh. Only thing I can figure is that investigators know who owns the vehicles seen in the neighborhood and or have suspicion of someone close to the victim. moo

There aren’t street lights, according to a neighbor, and:
“With the streets in pitch blackness, some neighbors said their cameras don't capture much more than the immediate surroundings of their home. The neighborhood gets "pretty dark" at night, Lane said.”

Neighbors of Savannah Guthrie's mother fear for her safety

Local Karen Lane didn’t know what to make of the unusual activity in Tucson, Arizona, until she learned that Nancy Guthrie had gone missing.

If you are a family member who wants the person dead for insurance why would you hide the person/body? Maybe if you are worried that your DNA would be found on the body -- finger nail scrapings

I believe no person of interest publicly…. Moo

Was NG still driving at 84? Signs point to no. 1. It's reported that she had limited mobility. 2. Annie and/or TC transported her to and from mahjong the night before. She's reported as unable to locate to the fam by a church friend after 11:00 a.m. for not showing up to church. So then who was it that was supposed to give her a ride to the church service? Service was prob around 9, 9:30 or 10:00. You would think whoever it was, they should have reported her unable to locate earlier than 11.

It has been reported that she still drive and I believe drives to church. I think the service started at 11am and after about 10 minutes with her not showing up her friends made the call

I don't think Tucson daughter nor Tucson son in law did not cause this. However, if victim was simply dropped off and driver did not help victim into the house, make sure home safe and doors locked, that would not be unfortunate. All that is stated is the son in law dropped victim off 9:30pm/9:45pm and that she went inside house.

Does anyone know how long it might take to process the car that was supposedly towed? I’m curious if they would have any results back by today or tomorrow.

Depends what kind of physical evidence recovery and digital data extraction they are performing. Could be a while. I'm not even positive they have the car as I have not seen a single photo of the car being impounded by the FBI. There were reporters in their area all day yesterday.

 

[allboys]

That's true. But as others here have noted, it's possible that she normally drove herself to church because that was during the day, but avoided driving at night.

JMO

Absolutely. My 84 year old mother ONLY drives during daylight. No exceptions.

Very true, but maybe wants her moment in the spotlight for fame?

Im not going to pretend to know her motives, but this is a big story. The video she made has over 1 million views in a day

True, we’ve been seeing pictures of the family, but not the car.

IMO I would think that in this area and neighborhood anything out of place would have been recognized right away. If the only vehicles that have been around belonged to a family member, that can be telling. IMO

Much earlier in the thread there was discussion of the lighting requirements in Tucson because of nearby observatories. As I remember the discussion, upward lights are not allowed. The roads are so dark that traffic does not necessarily trigger cameras at the roadside, or if images are captured are so dark as to be of little use. That headlights might trigger a photo, but not capture anything of value. Also, it was pointed out the moon was full Saturday night and people could have driven the empty streets without using headlights. All this is from memory, so grain of salt.

Thanks for posting. From the article (new to me: Three ransom notes sent)

The media also may have key evidence in the case. At least three different media outlets – TMZ and CNN Tucson affiliates KOLD and KGUN – report they received what appear to be ransom notes earlier this week demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return. Those outlets say the notes also described specific evidence in Guthrie’s home.

I thought i read the backdoor was broken like in forced entry? Not sure but if they didn't go through the front door but through the back door then surely they would have noticed such a thing?

Yes you would think they would notice the door but blood would be more alarming and the two things together would be terrifying. But IF the perps were the same people who called 911 (not accusing at all but its a possibility) none of that would matter

 

[Chimera]

did they really tow her sister's vehicle ?

We have not had more organizations pick this up, and it should be possible to verify that their car is impounded. I would think, for a journalist, this would be easy to verify. Journalists have been posted outside their home since hour 1 of this story, there should be images of their car, the tow truck etc... Where are they ?

Maybe its true, where is the evidence ?

Not directed towards those I've quoted; but to everyone here in the discussion :
It would be nice to get some links re. this information ?
Imo.

I will take a look around myself as well.... to find out more, brb.

Was Savannah Guthrie's sister's car seized in Nancy Guthrie kidnapping? Cops share update on Annie, Tommaso Cioni

A report from an independent journalist claimed Annie Guthrie, Savannah's sister, had her car seized by authorities in relation to mother Nancy's kidnapping.

www.hindustantimes.com

Was Annie Guthrie's car seized?​

The Pima County Sheriff's Department said, “We are not confirming the car being seized, we are unsure where that reporter is getting that information,” referring to Banfield's report, as per TMZ.
Banfield had reported that cops had towed the car and that it had some ‘connection’ with Cioni.
Rbm.

"Not confirming" does not mean denying, but until LE make a statement I'm guessing the reporters (A.Banfield, et.al.) do not have a photo of this happening ?

And even IF LE have a poi/suspect in mind, they may not want them to know this !!
And so we wait.
Jmo.

On the other hand, I would be so royally pissed off if my mother was missing and people were trying to get paparazzi shots that I'd absolutely be covering my face and probably lashing out on top of that.

I do think someone in the family is involved, but that doesn't mean everyone is. What an awful time for those who truly didn't have anything to do with it.

Thinking of the family and hoping I'm wrong about an inside actor. The situation is bad enough without that element.

MOO

I hate having my photo taken anyway but if I am grieving my missing Mom or supporting my spouse you better not be taking pics of me and my family. Disgusting behavior.

Isn't that a strange 3 outlets to send a ransom note too, why TMZ and only 2 local CNN affiliates? If this were connected to Savannah Guthrie wouldn't they send the note to NBC? Just curious about others thoughts on this.

 

[katydid23]

Even If she is correct I doubt this would've been beneficial for the case. I dont see a universe where her announcing this would've been good for law enforcement and the investigation

I'm not so sure. I think that it can be beneficial to make a suspect nervous. That's how they make stupid mistakes and trip themselves up.

Its possible they sent them to other outlets who never publicly shared that they received them
