Perhaps NG felt ultra secure in her home - no noted problems - that she, after being awakened, actually opened the door?

Maybe there wasn’t any forced entry, even though it was reported by TMZ?

The network appears to be tightening security for employees and their families as a precaution, in case the abduction is linked to SG’s celebrity status.

Is NBC sending another, “ less visible” team to cover Olympics?

Interesting because apparently he likes her!

I don’t know how much Trump likes Savannah, I think Trump saw a chance to get brownie points for being a nice, caring person towards Savannah’s plight.

Derrick Anthony Callella (dob 7/25/83). Case Department of Health Services Intermediate Clerk. Allegedly stole $9,984 in unemployment benefits between May 6, 2020, and Jan. 20, 2022 Wonder if it's the same guy that was arrested for sending SG's sister and brother-in-law text messages regarding money.

But, what would he have done with her to keep her alive? Where?

Idk if he is involved at all and sadly i don't think she's alive anymore. Gosh i hope i'm wrong

 

[Chimera]

Why would they stay inside for such a long time.

Searching for something in particular ?
Was wondering when family & LE looked inside, were drawers or a safe opened, which might have papers/documents/her will ?
Omo.

Depends for example if AG takes certain medication she might not know if SIL slips away during the night. I take meds for a blocked nerve in my neck and seriously you can come with a marching band through my bedroom and i just continue sleeping.

Also, the statistics of married couples who do not sleep in the same room is very high. (Snoring etc.) If a couple does not sleep together, it would greatly increase the likelihood of one not noticing the other missing in the middle of the night.

I Googled his name. He has quite a history.

Takes a real genius to insert yourself into one of the biggest stories of the year and immediately get arrested before they even have the perp for the actual crime

Seems odd considering how close they live to each other. Butttt maybe NG used Uber because it gives her a sense of freedom if she doesn't drive.

per reports she drives just. not at night. Many of us over a certain age. don't like night driving. Very common. I do think it odd for a 10 minute trip but not really important.

I don't think it's strange for anyone to enter their home through their garage when they drive and park in the garage etc. But it does seem a bit odd to me for the garage to be opened and then closed 2 mins later if she's only being dropped off. Could be nothing but seems a bit odd to me. IMO

It may have taken NG that amount of time to reach the door to the garage, we know she has trouble walking and so likely walks slowly. She also may have been carrying something, like leftovers or another item(s), If so, maybe she put things down and made two small trips back and forth in the garage kind of thing. There is usually a garage door switch to open and close at the door where you enter the house. So two minutes to do this sounds easily possible, imo. When we drop off elderly people and they go through the garage entrance, it usually takes this long and we watch them until the garage door closes and then we drive off. She may have used the garage switch and not a remote.

LE likely downloaded all family cell phones to try to track cell phone whereabouts that night. Assume family consented to this as LE said they are being cooperative.

The FBI will be doing everything they possibly can to keep the family members cooperative.

I do think the FBI intentionally distanced themselves from the "ransom" talk by dismissing it as "up to the family" what they decide to do with regard to the monetary demands.

Basically, my take on it was, the FBI can't prove (yet) that it's a hoax, but they wouldn't bet a million Bitcoins it was real.

Wasn't today the family's deadline to fork over the Bitcoin? If so, why would the family have waited until the 11th hour Wednesday night to put out that video asking the kidnappers for proof of life?

This ransom crap is all a bunch of hooey and a complete waste of LE's time, manpower and resources.

This is not a kidnapping.
This is not a kidnapping.
This is not a kidnapping.

If I'm proven wrong, I will eat a whole lot of crow and all my words for dessert.

JMO.

TMZ is an American entertainment-focused tabloid news organization owned by Fox Corporation.

 

[Auburnlucky7]

Could just be an animal?!

I took that to mean what was on the camera since they couldn't see it.

 

[moonbeams]

I must be used to Seattle prices because everyone keeps mentioning that her house is 1 million plus and I’m like, so a regular small house??

3000 soft house on just under 1 acre
based on links i saw in this thread early on....

 

[Cardgame]

Had anyone seen anything online any speculation or any mention of an Uber driver before this press conference?

I'm curious as to why, given how vague they are being about so many specifics, LE have chosen to release that information.

If I was that Uber driver tonight I would not be feeling very happy about it!

 

[GailAnne]

Would it be illegal for LE to plant a listening device in someone's home?

A search warrant based on probable cause signed by a judge is required for law enforcement to legally "bug" (install electronic surveillance in) a home to intercept wire, oral, or electronic communications, as this violates a reasonable expectation of privacy protected by the Fourth Amendment.

 

[Sadi]

Why bother with inside cameras, if she had no alarms on doors , windows etc?

Could someone have said they will get the cameras setup and pay the bill for the recording of them? And in reality, not do it or cancel it without saying anything? Far fetched, but it came to mind.

FWIW my mother lived in SoCal and never locked her doors at night. Drove me crazy. She just couldn't be bothered! Ugh.

No, first time I heard about the uber driver and with them living 10m away, why would they not pick her up themselves?

 

[Sundog]

But still, if camera is off line at 1:47, what detected movement at 2:12??

Sheriff said that NG had more than one security camera. The front door camera was offline at 1:47 a.m. Another camera detected movement at 2:12 a.m., that's how I understood it.

It is totally possible she just used it for live streaming, like checking on who was at door, IMO.
