It’s getting real now. But detaining someone doesn’t mean a whole lot, and they fact that they’ve “detained” someone and not kicked down a door, rescued Nancy and arrested them does not encourage many positive thoughts as to her current whereabouts IMO.

I literally cannot believe what I saw. The perp pulls a bunch of Lantana and puts it on the camera to block the view? WTH? I thought to myself, where's his damn can of spray paint?

What does this tell us?

Anong other things, sadly, he probably lacks the brains to keep an elderly woman alive for 10 days in hiding with the pressure of massive international publicity.

It tells us we know how to black out a camera?

It tells us he is not that sharp for sure...jmo

Is anyone here from Tucson? Does the Amelia Maldonalo Elem School sound familiar? Is that close to AG neighborhood?

Very far, over 30 min southwest. Why?

I wonder if it will be Tomato's friend

Before we all get too excited, I think they may have caught the person that sent the bogus ransom request. I can only hope they found NG as well.

It is a real issue. Sad example: Munich Olympics 1972 hostage crisis, that’s where live news coverage gave the criminals real time information as to where officers were located.

Good analogy. I was 14, very into the Olympic ideals, the youth of the world coming together. I was glued to the coverage on our black-and-white TV. Then the horror of the hostage-taking interrupted the games. I can still see Jim McKay announcing all the hostages had been rescued in the middle of the night and very quickly retracting with "They're all gone." I'll always be grateful for his humanity and professionalism when my world turned upside down.

You've reminded me of why TMZ's reporting on Monday struck such a nerve for me. They were IMO inserting themselves in the story, which could unintentionally alter the outcome for the hostage and the distraught family.

This is my bigger concern...she would have been better off with someone a bit better at this imo

Who said she entered via the garage? If she was dropped at home by her SIL why wouldn't she go through the front door? Seems a lot more trouble to open a garage door than a front door. IMO.

We know she has used the front door because her blood spatter was found there. And even if she did enter through the garage there should still be evidence of a vehicle pulling up to the house and swinging into the driveway. I can't imagine letting an 84 year old woman with limited mobility walk from the road and get herself into the house via the garage. She isn't the kind of person you just 'drop off'. In the released video you can see the the walkway and the road so a vehicle would have activated the camera.

The garage door opened at 9:48 which is when they said they dropped her off. Closed 2 minutes later. No steps into garage, making it easier for someone with mobility issues. Everyone in my house goes in and out the garage. We actually never use the front door to come and go.

Thank you. Appreciated. I'm new to this. Just to be clear, I wasn't using AI for deliberations or presenting AI deliberations; I just asked to deblur and enhance the photo and then remove the hand. No face was shared. And I understand the limitations in that regard. Separately, I am looking for rules of membership, but I can't seem to find them. If would if you would be so kind as to send me the link. Thanks again

AI can’t deblur or enhance. It makes an entirely new image. I’m so sick of AI I wish everyone would use their actual intelligence.

If the address that came up on google is correct, then it is approximately 22 minutes away.

He's wearing what looks like black nitrile or vinyl gloves over some other more padded gloves.

It’s a heck of a lot better than where we were at a few hours ago!

I mean do we know yet the ransom requests were bogus? I don't recall that confirmed one way or the other?

Several sources

We don’t know that they didn’t. Why would they give that info to the public?

Well, they've involved the public in a major way since the very beginning of this situation so if they do actually have a tape when they are asking for tips, why wouldn't they release the possible most damning tape of all?
