I didn’t even want to think this could be the answer. I still hope not, but it’s not looking good.

is there a theory that she was killed at Annie's house?

 

[BigCityAccountant]

Well, that's concerning. I hoped her family wouldn't be involved, and figured it would be easy to crack if they were. Don't know what to think now.

Wonder what the siblings are thinking feeling at the moment. They just told what they believe to be a kidnapper they would pay them--now their siblings house is being photographed--I couldn't even imagine what must be going thru their heads at this point.

Don't know how I would feel if this was happening to me--would I think they were going down the wrong path trying to pin it on my family member or would I trust they are getting it right?

The family has to be following the news media for updates, one would assume.

They're taking pictures in the dark. My guess would be probably to reveal luminol traces.

This is my guess as well.

Sounds like we are all on the same page. LE is quite possibly using luminal to reveal blood that might be invisible to the naked eye. MO

 

[serenebee23]

Could it be a different kind of camera flash?

Forensic teams detect latent blood at crime scenes using chemical reagents
which produce a blue-white, chemiluminescent glow in total darkness. Cameras, often equipped with tripods and set to high ISO (e.g., ISO 400), are used to record this fleeting luminescence to document evidence.

What you describe is what the newer video looks like to me.

 

[keek]

They're definitely taking photos imo. I wonder of what- stains?

Anything and everything it seems as working from the home Nancy was visiting , to Nancy's and back to the home she was visiting that night, her daughter's family. Back and forth maybe due to information being processed, that FBI has been waiting for coming in. So worrisome if evidence that is bad is found re Nancy. If it solves the crime, great. Horrors though for others. IMO

Do we know what agency is there?

Unmarked vehicles.

I have been skeptical this entire time that the ransom demands are from the same people/person responsible for NG's suspicious disappearance. If SIL is potentially involved in the disappearance AND the ransom, I will be very interested in how he pulled the double agent act under the same roof as the daughter. There's just a LOT of maneuvering that would be necessary there and potentially outside players too.

SC. would. be the person with the plan but he would not be involved the actual taking of Nancy that night.

 

[Vaderman]

OMG. This is huge.

Why?

good explanation. thank you.

Is this a distraction for something else going on ? <modsnip>

Feds have those too, which is why I'm curious.

If it is the sheriff's office, then it explains the whole basketball thing earlier. He knew this would be occurring well after that.

 

[nycpizzaparty]

is there a theory that she was killed at Annie's house?

I think it's verified that NG took an Uber to AG house before 6pm. And we know police were called to NG house closer to noon the next day. There is a large chunk of time there. I guess we don't know actually if/when she was driven back to the house. But that there is a pretty big chunk of time there when many things could have happened.

 

[Cindizzi]

What she calls a briefcase could be a fold up table?

[deedles]

idk how to square the latest video from the siblings with LE now taking photos at AG's. it's as if two different realities are happening at once

 

[dogmom805]

Could they be taking photos of what the luminol looked like in the dark, thereby creating the flashes we're seeing?

And could this mean, they suspect something happened at AG house, while she was there, or evidence in the garage, if luminol?

 

[citizen_sleuth]

Could they be taking photos of what the luminol looked like in the dark, thereby creating the flashes we're seeing?

I believe the standard practice for documenting Luminol is actually not to use flash or external light sources and instead adjust aperture and use long exposures.

 

[cady]

Well then it seems SIL has been the focus all along if this is true? Why would they luminol otherwise. He hasn't been seen I was wondering if he was in jail but then that makes no sense because why would SG and siblings release another video? I still keep thinking back to the post on here about his band mate needing to be seriously looked at, that was such a random thing, why him? Not even sure where it came from.

Maybe there is a tool rack in the garage and they are looking for blood? UGH

 

[MommaV]

Could she have been harmed at AG’s house, and then never made it home? Meaning the scene at NG’s home was staged? This is all so sad. I hope AG had no involvement.

My thoughts too as far as possibly having an injury at their home before getting to the car.

 

[TheDinks]

This theory has been posed by many people, ie asking where is the proof that Ms Guthrie even returned home alive ??

 

[UsernameRequired]

Motive?

Do you think he’s involved in the ransom saga?

I wouldn't be surprised if the SIL being involved

I have been skeptical this entire time that the ransom demands are from the same people/person responsible for NG's suspicious disappearance. If SIL is potentially involved in the disappearance AND the ransom, I will be very interested in how he pulled the double agent act under the same roof as the daughter. There's just a LOT of maneuvering that would be necessary there and potentially outside players too.

I feel like the SIL potentially being involved and the ransom letters are completely unrelated. Ransom notes still seem like opportunistic bad characters trying to take advantage of the situation. Agents have been at AG's house several times now. First visit to AG's house agents were seen carrying in a Cellebrite case to collect and analyze digital data. Now they are taking photos and maybe spraying Luminol tonight? Idk
