I would think maybe master bedroom.

neighbor said on CNN she slept on the left side of the home, I wonder if that is where her bedroom was

I am worried that this national escalation of the rhetoric may cause the perp to panic. JMO

Yes, but even chimpanzees use plants as tools.

IMO many people wouldn't have thought of using the stem of a plant to get the nest cam off the door. This lantana guy is calm, casual, not stressed and, in this case, good at quickly solving a practical problem. Still curious how his actions and demeanor could be seemingly so relaxed and casual in the midst of what was taking place inside the house. JMO

That is what I am assuming they appear bulkier than nitrile gloves and much more sturdy than latex. Where does it say they were disposable nitrile gloves? They appeared to be the thicker bulky not disposable ones.

Ask the FBI they said they were different than the searchers which would be latex or nitrile?

The bulky black ones used in agriculture or the butyl rubber ones used for chemicals or handling things in cold storage, and used commonly in cold weather applications when working on equipment which was my first thought and are not disposable.

Seems a clue to me but ok they are on it and don't need us!

I am familiar with gloves in stores I was looking for a link that described the gloves in question.


all imo

edit to add sample non disposable from Walmart [!] but not what I would call commonly used like a latex, imo

Yes I am familiar with the thicker butyl chemical resistant gloves. I use them all the time to refinish firearms when working with solvents like MEK and Acetone prior to ceramic applications. I did a write up many pages back about them.

I get those on Amazon, albeit not in bulk since they are more expensive (usually sold as singles or occasionally a 3 pack). You can also get them at most Home Depot or Lowe's. Not hard to get at all. In that post we talked about how cumbersome they are and how it would be very difficult to draw a firearm and that the suspect would likely not even be able to get his hand into the trigger guard of his gun., and difficult to handle any tool, key, even door handle etc. so it would be an odd choice.

I've seen many articles assuming they are however nitrile gloves, and the explanation give is they look to be layered over other gloves underneath.

The Post alerted the Pima County Sheriff’s Department about the finds, which come as investigators got a possible bombshell DNA hit on a black nitrile glove that appears to match the pair Nancy’s masked kidnapper wore while filmed tinkering with her home doorbell camera on Feb. 1.

Exclusive | Multiple additional gloves found by The Post in same area near Nancy Guthrie’s house where FBI found potential evidence

The Post discovered three additional gloves Sunday afternoon in Catalina Foothills, roughly two miles from the Tucson home of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother.

nypost.com

FBI officials have outlined three key items linked to the individual seen on surveillance footage near Guthrie's Tucson, Arizona home: a black backpack, nitrile gloves layered over another pair of gloves, and a face covering.

IMO there is no way from the Nest footage telling if they are latex, nitrile, butyl etc. but they look like very commonly used and easily obtainable disposable gloves used by mechanics, contractors, medical, etc. They are widely available locally and online.

I think he was going to use the stem of the lantana as a tool to take the nest cam off. Usually you use a screwdriver or a key that comes with the nest cam but it's quite possible the stem of the lantana might have worked. JMO

That honestly doesn’t make sense given the plant is not firm enough to double as a pry bar, it’s very soft. The doorbell cameras are primarily plastic. One well placed elbow could likely dislodge it.

 

[Fallondog]

Sheriff said that they were looking for all cameras in the area but the problem is that it is pitch black at night in this area and not much is captured. Also, houses are far off the street with lots of vegetation in the yards that block views.

Thanks for correcting me.

Is a lantana stem strong enough to do that? I've seen that said many times but I've not seen any proof it can be done. I'd love to know if it's possible to push the tab with a plant stem.

I'd also think he'd have something more sturdy available. A key, a knife, a screwdriver, something from Nancy's house, etc. LE might have video of whatever eventually removed the cam.

Didn't the Sheriff say in one interview that he could not clear the family until they had the DNA results back. I am saying in my opinion as I don't have a link.

 

[Pharmasgirl]

My theory changes hourly. I just can't figure this one out. Prayers for NG, SG and the family. JMO

 

[thefragile7393]

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if someone did plant the story with her early on to add pressure in the family and see if anyone turned on each other...as a tactic. JMO But it was still irresponsible all around of everyone..

IMO that does not make sense.

The SHERIFF said no one was cleared earlier. Those were his words. The media and everyone else is working off of that. What did he expect was going to happen??!!

I think LE has the probable perpetrators under surveillance and that LE is intentionally escalating the rhetoric to cause the perps to panic and use their cell phones (which would be monitored) or rush somewhere that might lead LE to more evidence. JMO

 

[SaraSmile]

This is a state crime. How would the DOJ request max penalty.

He is just talking tough! Prez wants to catch the criminal, save the day!
And take the credit, if possible.

 

[Ltiger4]

yeah i'm thinking they must have. in the very first video, i like everyone else found it a little odd to reference Silence of the Lambs but thought maybe that's what the FBI advises to say.

but this is too coincidental now.

moo

Can someone point me to a source that shows the latest Instagram post from SG actually quotes Tomorrowland? Google and ChatGPT both say she does not quote Tomorrowland.

 

[SUNchips]

K is related to PG who is married to NG's brother. L is her boyfriend. <Modsnip to remove full names>

Wait seriously???? Is there a source for this?

 

[No_Stone_Unturned]

All family members cleared:

[birdbox]

Exactly. Some sentences SG uses just happen to also be used in movies. I'm pretty sure every other sentence can be found in some movie or another.

JMO

After this case is solved, its going to take me months to go back through these comments to see who nailed it early on.

I think he used the lantana for added grip
