Could the patio chair help reach it if placed on the AC unit? I appreciate you sharing this picture

I suppose but a/c units have that grating on the top protecting the fan. So precarious at best. Then, in the dark?????? nah. My stalker did this all by himself. He was delusional and deadly in love with SG. He did this all fairly simply. Dressed to intimidate and conceal, went through home for SG souvenirs, harassed with ransom notes to get SG's attention. made her beg and plead and repeat or answer certain things contained in the ransom notes . Things that they have not told us. Words the perp used to elicit answers which SG then did in her Instagram videos. IMO, it doesnt matter if the WIFI was jammed, the outfit was cheap, the electricity was on or off or the lantana was tested for DNA!

This was an obsessed ,articulate, well educated or at least quiet, sensitive guy who became an unhinged, haunted stalker who was covertly in love with SG. He went from shy and admiring to full on Rambo. JMO

This Google article goes counter to that, assuming NG had one of the mentioned models (don't think we know that for sure)

Yes, agree. Most decent wifi security cameras are specifically engineered to accomodate wifi disruptions, in the case of the Nest, up to one hour. A wifi jammer would not stop the camera from recording the video into it's internal memory, then uploading that video to the servers once a wifi connection is restored. Wifi disruptions occur naturally all the time. IF the perp used a jammer and then moved out of jamming range for that camera, that camera would upload the video, thus rendering the jamming useless. Destroying the camera is necessary to stop the upload if wifi is going to be restored at any point. JMO, jamming is effective for preventing real time notifications, but not videos.

I've asked this before and not sure if it's been answered. Was NG removed from her home in her pj's/nightgown? Does anyone know if the perp made her change clothes?

I’ve always wondered if that was part of the 40 minutes inside — they had her change clothes. I don’t think we’ve had any information on what NG might have been wearing or what was in her hamper, etc. Only my wondering. OMO.

You’ve never been swayed your “My Stalker“ theory and I love that!

If this perp used a signal jammer, wouldn’t there be some evidence of that on the pacemaker app via the smartphone? I mean it didn’t get disconnected from the smartphone until 2:28am.

Yes...my point exactly. She might have gotten hurt if she begrudgingly changed...JMO

 

[you betcha]

At the February 2nd presser when a reporter asked the Sheriff if there was any threat to the public he said although there is crime in Tucson there is not people kidnapping elderly people from their home every night.

IMO, as long as someone who can kidnap an elderly lady from her bed is still out there, there's absolutely a danger to the public. If he doesn't want to frighten the public, there are better ways to say it.

I hear you but I think from very early on they believed that Nancy was targeted.

BBM nobody said every night but there are people kidnapping 84 year olds. I think the public deserves honesty about the need to be more cautious.

This is a GREAT point, as the radius of effect would move with the perp.

It would explain a lot of what went on with the cameras (from what we know).

Brian didn’t say which neighbor or even if they live on the same street or just live in her neighborhood.

Based on the CourtTV livestream reporter from Feb 5th, it is an adjacent neighbor. I'm sure you could use Google StreetView to find out which adjacent neighbor has red brick exterior. It would be interesting if it is the neighbor where the disturbed rocks were found, which I think is the neighbor to the left of Nancy's house if you are facing her house.

You guys…I’ve somehow managed to get my husband now interested and involved with this case. He’s a retired police officer (over 20 years experience). So instead of me being fixated on this case, we both are. Cheers!

That's great. I'm sure he must have some interesting insights.

Another video update from Brian Entin regarding the neighbors camera.

I think it's interesting that this information is just now coming to light. Day 34

It's not! It was reported by a CourtTV reporter on February 5th-- I was watching the livestream and heard him say he was talking to one of her neighbors whose cameras also cut out on the night she was kidnapped. Then I couldn't find video of the livestream anywhere and no other reporters mentioned it since then. I think LE has known about this but they are finally running it down in more detail after exhausting other leads that they may have thought more promising.

That could support the idea of the perp moving by the house in that open area with a jammer active as he made his way to NG's house

 

[cathathorse]

Assuming that these are the neighbours with the dog who have been letting BE park in their driveway, I'm pretty sure they're on the same street, but not sure how far down

The neighbors with the dogs that Brian likes are behind Nancy's house.

It doesn't seem like they experienced and wifi issues, or at least he's never indicated that in interviews.

True, but it isn't like you can go to Temu or any other supplier and buy military grade equipment. My comment was directed at the claim that a wifi jammer could jam all radio communications, gps, cellular, wifi.... The small jammers people are calling Temu jammers don't have near this capability and are directed specifically at wifi. Any jammer capable of jamming all radio communications is way beyond the scope of what LG may have had and would be huge, heavy and military grade....think electronics warfare.

I agree. Question, don’t Wi-Fi jammers distort video. If they were using one then how would the doorbell video have been so clear?

 

[Cats Against Crime]

Is the electrical shut off being so easily available common in AZ?

Ours has a lock on it (I think put there by the utility). Our actual breaker panel is inside the house.

I guess the idea would be that by the time the video was captured and uploaded the jammer had stopping working, maybe battery died or something
