and she can't be there to comfort them

Think LE is going all-out, turning over every leaf, before the ransom is paid.

Can anyone who has fox news confirm that they are currently searching in NG's yard near a possible septic tank? Ive only seen it on X and not from reputable source, and not in USA so can't watch!

I saw that, too. Been trying to find a source.

Yeah I have double septic tanks a hundred feet downhill from my house and the cap is only 10 -12 inches wide to access and pump them (I believe in my area an ordinance for safety/liability issues). The idea of a manhole size cover for septic makes me uneasy (with kids/pets). I do have a manhole cover on a dry-well (water collection) in the driveway.

My septic has two manhole-sized covers and yes, it's a little concerning.

I can see these being septic. IMO

Question: Do we think this just includes Pima LE or the FBI as well?

 

[Van Helsing]

So, the family is gong to pay, although investigators are not convinced the ransom is legitimate? Wow. Then what if it's not? Back to zero in the investigation.

I wouldn't be surprised if a benefactor has offered to provide the money as a solution to get Nancy back, which is the only possible option to hopefully make that happen at this time. All the activity right now might be a last ditch effort to find her or significant evidence before paying, just in case the ransom is a hoax.

Where has it been stated that this picture was taken the night she went missing? Thank you.

If SIL was involved I likewise hope that AG wasn't, but I do think there must have been 2 people.

What concerns me is that I think she would have recognized the voices of anyone she knew well. They cant let her live if she figure out who took her.

I’m supposed to be vacuuming and making SuperBowl food. Gonna throw some chips at the football fans and sit in my chair with the sleuths.

Hope they can catch as you are going to toss a soda can at each one too along with their own bag of chips.

I am kind of stunned so many obvious hiding spots have gone unchecked for this long, what the heck? They are just NOW checking this?

We talked about the septic tank days ago!

If this is not the first time LE is searching manholes located around NG's home, color me appalled.

Maybe before this they were convinced she was being held alive by kidnappers for ransom? Seems gullible.

If this is the first time LE is searching manholes located around NG's home, color me appalled.

In hindsight the FBI should have been the lead since day one. Sheesh.

 

[Wsimm]

They would not I'd assume. So it is that a real churchgoer friend called her daughter's house to ask if ok, or it is a ruse from the daughter's house to 'get the ball rolling'. I lean towards that NOW, but def cannot be for sure as no one can till the calls are confirmed as legit or no call from any friends at 'that time' that they interview. IMO

Agreed. I’m beginning to think the church call became unverifiable at some point and that’s why it was removed from timeline? A call to AG that her mom wasn’t at service can work 2 ways as to why AG would drive to NG’s house for a well check at 11:56am. 1) Maybe NG did occasionally attend church (only Daily Mail is reporting she didn’t) and checking on mom’s whereabouts would be natural, especially if NG also wasn’t answering her phone. 2) A church call related to NG not attending could appear suspicious to AG if she knew her mom no longer attended in person….again this would precipitate the need of a well check. Without the church call why would AG go check on her mom at 11:56? IMO

This is from Savannah’s book. Posted on another page I follow. It’s about her sister.

Can any people familiar with plumbing or house construction determine if this is related to them searching in the tanks today?

Residential septic pump truck have a much much bigger tank and set up (would be the entire size of flatbed).

That poly tank looks like a water tank.

 

[arielilane]

The property is surrounded by LE. Surrounded might be too strong a word. There are several LE at the property.

 

[SaraSmile]

i just assumed they meant they would celebrate her return! would that be an odd thing to say? (i’m not a native english speaker)

I understand if English, or this term “ celebrate” is not familiar to you.
MOO, it refers to celebration of life, a funeral or memorial.

 

[stmichael]

The handling of this case is wild.

 

[JKathryn]

Do we know where TC teaches? I can't find his info on any of the government salaries pages.

Basis School

I don't think they'd be probing a septic tank on her property if they believed kidnappers had absconded with Ms Guthrie.

My opinion only.

From what little I did see... it was almost like they were looking at an area just outside her yard or outside her backyard, almost like they were looking to see where someone could hide, vantage points if that makes sense?

There does not seem to be any urgency at all and still only 2 in the backyard. Looks like they have a few more deputies out on the street with the media.

On tv, they have this teeny tiny box with the live feed when they are covering other news.

this is me:

JMO and I have no idea what they are actually doing.
