What’s weird is I thought the eyes on the mask looked feminine, thinner eyebrows, but then the mouth area had a mustache and goatee.

You just sent every woman reading your post to call and make an appointment to get waxed! moo

I watched it twice. It seems clear as . . . mud?

"We got what we needed and moved on?"

I'm very curious to hear what everyone else thinks about his statement.

They got what they needed is what matters to me.

I feel in a similar way with just one thought looming…was NG handed down to someone else..?

ALL IMO

Well darn now I have to listen. I’m not the fan of videos and podcasts (or these news orgs) as others are, but you’ve piqued my curiosity with this profiler giving off vibes with what he says and doesn’t say.

It was a fascinating interview~and Brian Entin of News Nation is steadily growing a reputation as a good reporter. imo

Maybe the "signal sniffer" on the helicopter has picked up her pacemaker's signal

And that's why they still believe she's in the area

Hopefully, it's a miracle that Nancy is still alive

IMPORANTLY, a pacemaker can remain active for some time because it operates on an independent battery,

But it cannot make a dead heart beat.

If she was indeed alive, would they not make an (other) effort on getting some ransoms money..? Just thinking..

As in, NG might have been passed off to another person/persons after she was abducted?

This is the house right next to NG's house.
I have lost track how many times they have been there. The male agent is the same guy that was inspecting the camera to the right of the garage about 2 weeks ago. Remember this is also the house that has the septic tank covers in the back of the property that LE removed and were inspecting the first 10 days.

So interesting that they are back at NG's neighbor's house. JMO

Had my quarterly pest control service today. He noticed my husbands awards for LE service in our den and commented on his employment in the NBA. They definitely notice what you have in your house. Where your camera's are. Your house layout. And if you have pets.

Always check your window locks after you have a service person in your house. Door locks too. MOO

Good one! Thank you.

I've always thought she'd be found nearby her house, but it'll be really something if they find her at the next door neighbor's property.

I also always felt she was nearby her home.

imo/jmo

Yes. Especially if we have a single offender and something went wrong. Or - if it was a hire to kidnap (?) and something went wrong or off plan. JMO

But we have had no confirmation if the ransom is true in the case

Interestingly, there have been no more ransom requests since the family has offered the $1 million reward

One of our locks broke on a 20 year old exterior door just a few days ago and it just got fixed this evening. I just wanted to show y’all how brazen people can be. I think some people think if they don’t ring the doorbell they won’t be recorded. This was just a solicitor in our neighborhood selling fiber for a network earlier today..not related to NG disappearance but I thought it was important from a
Safety perspective and I just wanted others to see. Lock your doors!!!

He likely knew he was recorded and didn't want to ring the bell. But I am surprised he wasn't carrying any lit and didn't stick around for someone to answer the door. In cases where people don't want to bother homeowners or they have a no solicitor sign, usually they leave something without knocking or ringing.

Doesn't make much sense to knock and leave.

Yes and they can probably determine if someone is living alone or with a roommate or family. Wow a service provider coming in and reading various awards and documents on the wall. To be honest, I would not have thought a thing about it until the Guthrie case. Good tip on windows and doors after a service provider has been to the home.

I agree, I didn't mention suicide for a reason. Narcissists and psychopaths don't usually commit suicide. They might however if they feel cornered or trapped.

Yes a man who will take an elderly frail woman is a coward.

I agree, he is most likely alive, going back to his usual routine.
It is a long shot to check death rep

It was part of his bad guy outfit? All the layers, masks, gloves, lights. Fake physique, fake face, fake hair, fake eyebrows, fake teeth. He needed a fake threatening gun in a dramatic and noticeable location on his body.

Also, I think this goes beyond just a disguise? What is the psychology of someone wrapping himself up in so many layers?

On your first point. If the cops close in, he will never be taken alive. It will be suicide by cop or he will off himself. You are assuming he is a narcissist or a psychopath. I am not. He's delusional.

On your second point, layers indicate protection. Not just protection from shedding DNA or from being recognized but self protection and comfort and may also indicate the many layers of his psyche. JMO

 

[Friday Fan]

Maybe. I just know and can only speak for myself but, if I had a job like this I would never ever attempt to open any else’s door. Exterior or otherwise. If there was no doorbell I would knock on whatever is in front of me and leave it at that. It could be because of my age, idk. I’m not THAT old but it’s just something I would never do at a strangers home.

If you had a screen door, those are not "knockable". I am surprised that he didn't give any time for the homeowner to come to the door. Why knock??

This mask seems like it would fit. The mouth has a small slit to breathe or carry a tiny light in. The folds on the eyelids almost match the perps photos too if you zoom in and compare side by side. JMO

Are the ears and head hair part of the mask too?

 

[Cassie P]

What is this guy doing having a light in his mouth, covering it with DNA and then having to take it out at some point? The fact that he is using this mouth light and not a head light around his head makes no sense to me.

What this suggests to me is that he wasn't likely a hiker or an outdoors person who would have the need for a light as the sun starts setting.

It would never have occurred to me to use a flashlight in my mouth, and that makes me think that this is somebody who might put a flashlight in their mouth when working in a small dark place and they might be in a profession that would use a mouth light.

JMO

Some people here have said the head lamps are very bright and might be like a beacon? Hardly what a criminal wants in the dark of night to be so visible.

 

[No it's not]

They got what they needed is what matters to me.

But we have had no confirmation if the ransom is true in the case

Referring to your second sentence.. And that I find very strange..I did expect more ransom demands or at least some taunting communication hinting at at least something. Does anyone else here thinks it may not be about money at all??

ALL IMO

To be honest, I would not have thought a thing about it until the Guthrie case. Good tip on windows and doors after a service provider has been to the home.

Saw a crime episode once, maybe Forensic Files where a service worker in the house purposely left a window open/unlocked and returned within a few days to murder the homeowner and access was via the window he left unlocked.

So yes, great advise to ALWAYS make sure every every access point is double checked after any worker has been in your house.
