Here u go guys!!!

KOLD Ransom note was sent through newsroom tip system - so not an email after all.

No proof of life in message. Not calling it a "ransom note."

No further demands made.

Message did not offer a way for the family to communicate.

Does contain a detail that would perhaps allow investigators to determine it's the same person who sent the first note.

The Circle K on Oracle Road is about a 10 minute drive from NG's home (link to Google Maps)

It’s also RIGHT next to AG and SIL’s house. Their house is just to the left of the red dot (circle K), probably right at the edge of this screenshot.

Perhaps something was over-thrown? Landed in those planterboxes?

was thinking this too.. they threw something at the light and it went up on the roof? or in the bushes? Maybe gave specifics of what it was?

 

[shonyakay]

Taking photos of whatever that thing is.

A bush?

Edited: Oh my bad I see she has the camera angled up toward some type of what appears to be a flood light or camera?

 

[bestill]

I think they are setting up the for a search and long haul.

 

[MassGuy]

Do they also need a warrant if the family approved of the search?

They tend to do that regardless. There could be an issue with the family having the standing to even allow that or something.

 

[Sessiebo]

I would think they would need a warrant still. The property belongs to NG. She is not declared dead but she is also not around to give permission to search her home. That is why they need to get a warrant for all areas.

Ah ok, thank you for clarifying

So two return searches by LE shortly after getting ransom notes now? If this is real, did the abductor alter the house/property in subtle ways during the appx. 40 minutes between the disconnect of the camera and the stopped sync of the watch? And each note has contained a version of “hey LE, look for this at the house and you’ll know I’m the real deal.”?

Maybe they’re distracting us from something else going on. This is weird.

wouldn't make sense IMO

 

[CHEL]

wouldn't make sense IMO

If they were searching another area? Yes it would.

 

[knla]

Just removed this and replaced it... Is it a camera?

If it's a camera, I hope they got a memory card out of it.

This is driving me insane, what was it?!

Whatever it was unscrewed and wasn't hardwired.

I would think they would need a warrant still. The property belongs to NG. She is not declared dead but she is also not around to give permission to search her home. That is why they need to get a warrant for all areas.

Not if they think she is alive, unconscious, hidden away some where in the home? They could easily get a warrant to save someone's life?

Thing is unattached again and conversation happening.

I wonder if it's a lighting fixture pointing toward the backyard? I can't imagine it's a camera because I would have assumed they would have looked at it and removed it during the first search.

 

[heli]

The live feed totally missed what they were doing on the roof!! Dang.

Looked like they were checking under everything then cut a spotlight off

 

[Moonstrawbs]

wouldn't make sense IMO

I feel like nothing makes sense in this entire situation..jmo.

 

[Alkali13]

Clipboards? Like this is a scavenger hunt.

There is something really foreboding about this....

And it seems related to confirming the authenticity of the ransom letters...

But not actual proof of life.

JMO

I'm still not sure this is related to the ransom letters. They received those letters almost 7 hours ago.

Perhaps one they thought was supposed to be there but turned out not to belong to NG?

I don't think LE is interested in vehicles that may have been at the Circle K. They're interested in what video their cameras may have captured of cars coming and going near that neighborhood. I'll leave it at that. I suspect the pieces are coming together.

My opinion only.

In 15 minutes Court Tv will be live at the scene
