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!

Yes, a suspect is different than a 'person of interest'.

A 'person of interest' can be someone that might have seen or heard something, a witness with information about the crime. Not necessarily an official suspect.
It can also be someone who later becomes a suspect.

Regarding the car of A & T being towed, wouldn’t we have pictures of this from the media? I can imagine they’re staked out near the daughter’s house as well, especially considering we have pictures of the FBI there. Just taking Banfields comment about car lightly. JMO

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...

That is really such a nice gesture for his friends.
I have my own... Not electronic, but flesh and blood.

But I know full well, I am much safer with his very strong propensity to bark, and bark.

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

My sister (who lives alone) got some size 14 work boots and running shoes from Goodwill and leaves them outside her door. Gives the impression that a burly man lives there.

I don't live alone, but when someone knocks on the door when I am alone, I shout, "TOM! Someone is at the door!" to give the impression a man is in the house. I also have done that outdoors when I felt like a creep was creeping me - I shouted and waved to nobody in the distance, "TOM! I'm here - I'll be right there!" or something like that - use a big voice even it you feel like a fool.

Disclosure: Tom is my cat's name.

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

imo.

Correct. Her birthday was on January 27th.

Per this NY Post article the NY Times is reporting that SIL was last to see NG. BBM:

"Savannah’s sibling attempted to cover her face with a pink hoodie while leaving the couple’s Tucson, Ariz., residence.
Annie’s husband similarly pulled his sweatshirt up over his nose and sported a pair of sunglasses.
The duo’s outing marked the first time Nancy’s family members have been spotted since she became the subject of a missing persons investigation.
Cioni was the last person to see Nancy — despite previous reports it was Annie — as he was the one to drop his mother-in-law off at her house around 9:30 p.m. Saturday after dinner, according to the New York Times."

Savannah Guthrie’s sister Annie and brother-in-law keep low profile in first sighting since mom Nancy’s disappearance

Annie and Tommaso Cioni attempted to cover their faces during a Tuesday drive, two days after the 84-year-old matriarch was reported missing.

The department tells TMZ ... "We have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. We are also awaiting additional forensic results."

They add, "We are not confirming the car being seized, we are unsure where that reporter is getting that information."

I do that in large cities when travelling alone with my daughter. "There's dad over there" and we just start moving. She is older now but has strict instructions to just roll with whatever I say. (My husband isn't on these trips.)

 

[nhmemorymaker]

That is interesting info to know, not just in this case but perhaps in other cases we follow. I had no idea about the automobile exception. Thanks!

jmo

Agreed.... I did not know this either.

It makes me wonder, too. Hope Nancy is found okay

 

[nhmemorymaker]

I thought Savannah might be staying with her sister however at this point probably with brother Camron. What do we know about brother other than retired. I don't see him in family photos etc.

well... here is that family photo again..... Isn't that Camron on the right?
I dont think it is Annie's partner??? Not sure tho.

 

[Zeta74]

I have been thinking for a day or so that this was a male family member. NG is just so low risk for stranger abduction given her age, mobility, how nice and remote her house is and with security cameras, etc. I think you can’t even look at kidnapping statistics without considering the victim because someone who kidnaps a child has different motives than someone who kidnaps a girl in her 20s.

<modsnip: As per LE there is no POI / suspect at this time>

That is Annie's husband.

Brian Entin doesn't have a new video this morning, but I'll bet he will have one soon. Nothing gets past him

Brian and Ashleigh are excellent at what they do

 

[thefragile7393]

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 adding BIL as suspect, it’s all getting a little crazy. I hope this ends soon for all involved—NG, family and law enforcement.

I'm hoping he's getting advisement from ones more experienced in high level cases, because there hasn't been one of national level attention since 2012 before he came on board

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed>

The early reports were that Annie dropped her mother off after dinner and playing Mah Jong?

 

[Smokingun]

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?

She’s an investigative reporter, she knows by now what’s up based on her experience and knowing her sister and BIL’s mannerisms. I thought this too. If this is the case, hardest ‘interview’ of her life!
