I’m thinking to check if NG’s blood is in the car. She was apparently bleeding when she was taken.

Most families have 2 cars.

So, was it her car that was impounded or his? Did they have a driveway with the last one in blocking in his car and therefore her car was impounded.. Or was the car allegedly impounded the SIL's car?

Anyone remember?

 

[cady]

Oh for sure. But assuming he/they aren't suspects, is there any innocent reason to take the car? Is that standard protocol?

standard, I think. Check gps to see where and when the car has gone

Interesting. That's an APS card-adult protective services card. All CPS/DPS cards look like that here. Very interesting

I know that Banfield keeps saying that her and Savannah are good friends, but I thought I read somewhere that they're REALLY good friends. Could this be another situation like Friedman where maybe she's being fed information to provide to the public?

Banfield was so confident in that report you had to take notice. Does she have an inside scoop direct from SG probably not but maybe still a good lead.

The screen shot of the door with the blood near the mat also looks like there is some dried flowers there like from a wreath?

Anyone know what that is? (Sorry, the Daily Mail article picture format I cannot copy to jpg)

The Pima County Sheriff's Office says this morning they have not identified a person of interest of suspect and they are "working closely with the Guthrie family."

FWIW, the chief gave her an interview the day before.

I was curious what the updated number were on abductions and murders committed by family members versus others:

Kidnappings:
50% by family members
25% by acquaintances
25% strangers

Murders:
15% by family members
30% acquaintances
30% friends
10% strangers
15% misc.

Please provide a link to your research? Thank you

Stop that. Why, in all my years of following true crime, did that actually very sensible idea never come to me? Now whenever someone comes to my door, I’m going to have a Sophie’s choice to make!

IAttended a safety seminar years back. The 'expert' suggested especially for women living alone: buy the LARGEST dog bowl you can find and put it out front & back your door. Burglars do NOT like dealing with dogs! Works for me

Hmm. It feels a little like that ship has sailed.

Yes we discussed upthread.

Thoughts were maybe roses? Like from a bunch of flowers? Or a plant in the garden disturbed.

not surprising that her car is being processed, but is her car their only car?

pretty sure they have two and are seen leaving in the other car.

BBM:

"Arizona police still have no suspects in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, despite reports that key individuals had been identified in the hunt for the missing mom of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie.

“At this time, no suspects have been identified. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. We are also awaiting additional forensic results,” a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told The Post Wednesday morning."

There are still no suspects in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, police announce

I wonder if this is semantics. A “suspect” is different from a “person of interest”, right?

EDIT: Oh, I see that the Sheriff statement says they have no identified “person of interest” either. Never mind!

Good idea! I have a dog that barks anytime someone comes to the door (or walks by the house, or parks on the street, or takes their garbage can out…) and his bark makes him sound like the abominable snowman, so that does make me feel more secure.

We're not talking about a Getty kidnapping here...so large scale criminal campaign? Not buying it...

I don’t know that it’s relevant, but I have not heard any mention of the dog. I believe Nancy has a dog. If the back door was in fact wide open, I wonder if the dog was still in the house when family members came to search for Nancy. I wonder this more out of curiosity than relevance. If the family came to the house, and the dog was gone, but leash was still there, that would cause initial concern.

 

[Cebavl]

A few thoughts:

1) <modsnip>

2) Does anyone know where Savannah is staying? I thought I read sister Annie’s house? This would make sense if they have hired security to be there.

3) If it was in fact the BIL, isn’t that a lot to do from 2am until 11am when they were back at NG’s house? Unless both sister & BIL were involved, he’d need to be back home well before anyone wakes up. And, get cleaned up. I’m not sure all of that is feasible.

4) JMO, but I think Nanos needs to simply read from a script and not take questions (at least live). I felt like the police handled it very well in Tepe murders. But, between these off-the-cuff pressers, TMZ/other reported ransoms, plus Banfield <modsnip>, it’s all getting a little crazy. I hope this ends soon for all involved—NG, family and law enforcement.

Another friend of mine (CEO of a security firm), bought an electronic dog that was activated whenever the downstairs door opened...BOW WOW It definitely alerted you! Bought them for all his female friends...

I don’t have a link, but I read she was returning from playing Mahjong.

N's Birthday???
If IRC.

Most likely her birthday..
Birthday was just a couple of days before she was missing.

imo.
