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

I am in England and the words celebrate their lives is very common these days tbh

My map comment wasn’t intended to cause anything just random saying who carries a map when there are so many other options with more detail and information. Thered need to be a reason imo

No worries...when our comments turn out to be thought experiment generators for others it can be a very good thing. Helps keep us from swallowing spoon fed information as blind truth and keeps our own ability to reason active. Even old maps that have been digitized may need to be printed to be fully usefull.

When they mentioned paper map--i just assumed some "older" county maps not online.

Yes, in fact a "celebrant" is someone who typically conducts non-religious funerals.

If they are checking the water storage tank, that may mean they think she is dead and are now looking for her body. That would be very unfortunate but I can think of no reason for checking in a water tank for any sorts of clues about a live person. Of course, it is also possible they have no idea if she is dead or alive and therefore exploring all possibilities. MOO.

They were not probing a septic tank with no mask or gloves. It had to be some type of cistern/water tank. I think they are going back and researching the property because they don't want to miss anything.

I also thought that she might have been drugged or poisoned during dinner.

JMO - I Also wondered what it meant so i asked but it got dismissed as her just being exhausted and emotional from the whole thing, which ofcourse could simply be the case.
My gut from the start said SIL and maybe AG know more but i could (and hope) be wrong.
I obviously don't know AG so it's really hard to say if this is just her way of expressing herself or if there's more behind it.
I just hope Nancy is returned soon

My bet would be, it is just her way. I like poetry and know histories of world-known poets; to be a talented poet takes certain traits. IMHO, we can not judge “creative people” by conventional means.

I just wish them to get mom back and not break in the process.

The plumbing folks that came to check mine out didn't wear masks. They might have had work gloves. *shrug*
IMO

They say they have no POIs, but what could they possibly be "investigating" at AG's otherwise?

 

[TristanP]

I hope this is allowed. It’s from Reddit and *appears* to be legit.

 

[emigrate]

Totally agree.

There was a post elsewhere also from somewhere that said the bandmate of SIL is shady and needs looking into. Not sure where that came from.

I know in other cases they've tested water and septic tanks for blood evidence, but I'm not sure what the purpose of a water tank is.

This is what could have taken SIL 40 minutes to do from 1:47-2:28…

Is the prevalent theory that the map is for finding a suspect or a body?

Body, JMO

[mikeshanty]

So signals from LE right now point towards the hypothesis that she is dead and now this is a recovery effort?

I am downright disgusted that this appears to be the first time this "tank" is being searched! I asked earlier if we were sure attics, crawlspaces, washers/dryers were searched? No need for anyone to tell me if these structures are common or not in Tuscon, many have already answered.

There are just obvious places that should be searched. Semaj Crosby was found under a sofa without legs. The Tunstall children were found in the washer and dryer. All children, yet found on subsequent searches in homes they disappeared from!

It should just be common sense to search places like sewers, tanks, buildings, etc in the immediate area, and all enclosed spaces or appliances, etc.
