A part of me wondered if maybe in one of the ransom notes the perp/s mentioned something really personal and threatening about one or all three of the siblings indicating that they have been stalking NG’s children and they may be in danger too. I thought maybe that, plus that awful man cruelly those fake ransom letters and contacting AG and her husband, the search warrant and paparazzi, may explain why they left AG’s at first or have seemed more excluded.
Perhaps too behind the scenes they have been doing their own investigation with the cops by going down memory lane, visiting old hiking trails NG went to, looking through all yearbooks, photo albums, emails, texts, photos, contacts and phone numbers, receipts and bills to see if they can find anyone who may have been known to her, was in her life but while their true selves and intent remained hidden because all along they were hers and theirs biggest threat.
I could be wrong and am just speculating of course but I agree with other posters who said they think the perp/s is enjoying the sense of power and control they have over the Guthries, LE, the media and the truth about what happened to NG.
It does make me wonder if that if anger, rage or revenge played a role or motive, like that really interesting investigator who specializes in kidnapping and ransoms mentioned before to BE, than maybe it wasn’t just against NG or SG but all four Guthries? Maybe he wanted power over them, to take something from them but why? Did he feel at one point that they had power over him or his family? Definitely not victim blaming but I wonder if he fixated and projected his anger and insecurities on them even when they did nothing wrong and this is how he will make them pay? That is awful though and only a thought but not a good one so my apologies.
I also wonder why now? Doing this heinous crime is heartbreaking and unfathomable as is and it makes me wonder if there is something about the timing that is significant. NG and her family have been living in Tucson for over 50 years. NG has lived alone for 6 I believe. Why target her at all and what carry out their plot that last weekend of the month? And why so much? Did the perp lose a job? Or are they homeless or something now? Have they targeted elderly victims or women or those who live alone before but now their crimes are escalating even further know?
I wonder if they even kept the same shoes, clothes and car they used to abduct poor NG? Or if because of the blood from NG’s injury and possible incriminating evidence now on them they threw the things out and put the car in a junkyard? It would probably look too suspicious to clean the vehicle out and the smell of blood can sometimes be strong. I wonder if there is a way to find out at the landfill or place where they dump old or seemingly dumped or abandoned cars? Still I hope NG is alive and find strength and hope in that her family and friends are never going to give up on her, like SG said. I know they just want to bring their mom home.
I feel for SG too. I read an article in which her coworker said SG blames herself for her mom being taken because she is rich and famous. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. The ones responsible, the only ones responsible, are vile criminals who took her. Their cruelty is not a reflection of NG, SG, CG or AT or the love and lives they lived. Rick of poor, door open or closed those perps had no right to NG, her children, her family or money. What they wanted have no jurisdiction over her home, property or ability to sleep safely and comfortably. If anyone should be going crazy it should be them for falling so slow to represent the worst of mankind in the cruelty and harm they caused NG, her family and community.
There is a difference between broke and broken as shown by the fact they had the power to break in, abduct and harm Nancy Guthrie before torturing her family with it, but they still don’t have enough to fix whatever damage they have within.
JMO/IMO sorry for the ramble
