Yes, I think because we don't think an evil, violent person is in our circle of neighbors, friends, family etc. We think it's good for anybody else to pay attention but if someboy in my circle looked different and was acting differently, I'd generally think it was related to stress with job, marriage, children, health issue, the list goes on.

Catching up here, and I think you’ve made a very important point.
For the most, we choose our friends on a whole heap of our ‘
even subliminal’ criteria - next comes our Close Friends who are decided on a far stricter scale (and the trust) ..
So if there’s a call to arms re an appalling act, our friends don’t come into consideration. .. can I now say ‘unfortunately’ - as I think it matched with your sentiment of the unwritten’ friendship code’.
In atrocities such as this, where we are asked to dig deep and examine - I can certainly acknowledge the challenges experienced by those who ‘wonder’, and their thoughts of recriminations, particularly if they get it wrong ! It’s a big call. It could be the end of a valued friendship.
I’ve known people who should be awarded every Acting Gong there is, due to their ability to bare faced Lie ! and to be affronted if they’re called on it !
IMO that saying about ‘the wolf in sheep’s clothing’ has caused more angst to the righteous amongst us than it has held meaning / warning to those teetering to the other side - (reason being the good people care, the rest don’t - about anyone other than themselves)
There will be people who wonder about involvement re Nancy - I pray for their courage in righteousness. And I pray also that if innocent, their associates will respect & honour their righteousness.
Apologies for my long winded off load . .. long time thoughts exploding, as I can’t understand why there’s no answers after all this time.
I’m thinking this perp is sitting Cocky, they succeeded in the break-in and abduction, have made a laughing stock of not only the local Pima County investigators, but also of the FBI. .. that’s huge ( sort of. These days a lot of people focus on the wage they earn, where the perp may have been driven by other factors)
Umm I wonder was that the goal all along ? To defy the system ? To prove their ability ? ( why Nancy is a different brain exercise for me !)
But, if those were the goals, I would say they’ve done that, well and truely.
With a seperate soul, I say this has been a skilful & well executed operation. well done and mission accomplished. What ever that mission was.
Ok. Someone please shut down my mind . . because now I’m thinking more, and now I think perhaps their goal has only been 1/2 achieved ! !
On my projects I always mapped a Start > Conclusion path, then explored & mitigated all the challenges along the way.
I can see that those responsible for Nancy’s disappearance followed a similar path in removing her from her house … But in not even understanding their ultimate goal, I don’t get a sense of it being brought to its Conclusion.
Is that where their plan came unstuck ? Did their ‘clever than you’ attitude come unstuck here because they f**ked up ?
Who knows, who ever knows - because individual behaviour is ‘individual’. It’s personal. .. the good thing is that allowances are made for our human failings and we get another chance ( often x over ) Once your head chopped off for a slight misdemeanour!
On the balance of all that I would think that the perp/s still have a small window in which to make good & to advise of Nancy’s whereabouts. ( I say ‘small’ because I think the feds are catching up
)
Looking back with the oh so popular hindsight, NANOs did describe it as an abduction from the beginning. We don't know whether there was a ransom note at the scene. I do wonder about that. A ransom note at the scene that the kidnappers believed was not taken seriously could explain why ransom notes were sent to the media.
