This is Annie and her husband photographed for the first time since it all happened.
They are covering their faces like they have something to hide, this is not normal behaviour for grieving family members IMO.
Very strange to me.

Agree. I would be running to the press begging people to look for her. Holding pictures of her, anything.

Has it been confirmed by a reliable source that the SIL is a suspect? I don’t consider ABanfield credible. I don’t see him being involved without his wife knowing and I just don’t believe that unless the sheriff verifies it.

LE will never confirm he is a suspect until they arrest him.

Anyone know how far SIL lives from nancy guthrie?

AI says 10 minutes away

Yes, just 4 miles away.

Cell phone evidence -- location of perpetrator's cell phone -- may be important. JMO.

But who is taking his/her phone while commiting a crime???

Honestly, SMH

I think I agree with you. Of course we can never know how we would react in any crisis situation, but one would think shock would be the prevailing emotion... shock and terror?

 

[turaj]

Most of the time, the last person seen with someone is the guilty party.

If the SIL in fact did drop her off at the house, alone, maybe there was an altercation in the car ride over and he SIL came back...staged it like an abduction but ended up worse.

Does this seem like it was spontaneous? I think it was planned.

On the other hand, I would be so royally pissed off if my mother was missing and people were trying to get paparazzi shots that I'd absolutely be covering my face and probably lashing out on top of that.

I do think someone in the family is involved, but that doesn't mean everyone is. What an awful time for those who truly didn't have anything to do with it.

Thinking of the family and hoping I'm wrong about an inside actor. The situation is bad enough without that element.

MOO

Absolutely. The media is relentless with high profile cases and I don't care if i"m a suspect or not-I want my privacy and not have to deal with invasive and intrusive questions and prodding into my life.

Someone who didn't plan to kill. It escalated. Or someone who is not too bright and wasn't thinking clearly. Really don't understand your SMH.

I've been searching all morning looking for something other then ABanfield, not saying I don't believe her but looking for other sources would be helpful. I'm waiting to hear "they found blood in the car" or something like that at this point. IMO

unless someone has video of car being towed going to have to consider that a rumor.

if the story is true, and SG is leaking it through AB, i hope they both realize that's bad for the investigation, and ultimately bad for NG.

Yes... i keep thinking the same...
but upon more pondering... if SG actually believes it to be true.. perhaps the decision is to make it known more quickly rather than dragging it out...to try and get "suspects to come forth"
Both SG and AB are in fact, journalists, so maybe they know that if it is kept quiet...... it could take courts forever to get this out in the open.....
especially, if no body is found.
right?
Well, I know I am pushing one narrative, even though I am hoping that the SIL speculation IS A FALSE narrative.
Just don't want this to be the case.......

moooo moooo

Take this with a grain of salt since it came from a comment on another post, but someone mentioned they read that the cameras were cut at 12:50 a.m. Has anyone else heard this?

I just heard that they were knocked out but that the pacemaker stopped connecting to the apple watch at 2 am.

A lot of people have their phones with them when they commit a crime. It isn’t smart, but it happens.

I imagine that anything SG said on any given day on the Today Show has the potential to send an unemployed (able) key board warrior into a fit.

But... the miffed keyboarder then retaliates not by the SOP- sending an expletive laden email to the Show, but by kidnapping SG's mother? Like yourself, I just don't see it.

The factor in the Olympian social dynamics: This is still pre Olympics, so SG could not have been perceived as 'dissing the hometown hero with a medal.

Even with medals, the Olympics have been in a slow decline for decades. Sure, there are plenty of fans out there. But, over all interest has still declined and fewer people see successful Olympians as national figures, hometown super heroes, or personal idols.

Though it just takes one person who does have those views to meltdown and act on them in an extreme way, I share your opinion in that, while its possible, it just does not seem very likely.

Bbm.
Agreed.
Doubt this has anything to do with SG on the show or airing her opinion which at the end of the day is just her take on it.
Protesting by the unemployed(able) against the Today Show or even engaging by kicking a vehicle's tail lights does not equate to going to the extreme of kidnapping, even though the msm media would have people believing this by suggesting a fan or 'superfan' might have been behind the abduction.

This is sad that even now there's little updates on this case.
Hoping Nancy is alive and can still be rescued safely !

Nancy Guthrie cops probing crazed fans of Today show host daughter

This development comes as a major manhunt approaches its fourth day after Nancy Guthrie, 84, was snatched from her home in Tucson, Arizona, late Saturday night and has not been seen since.

My take on this is that a superfan may want to 'meet' SG in person, but would not want to get in trouble and go to prison by kidnapping her mother !
Jmo.

With all due respect, we do not know how we would handle things if we were in the families shoes. We can say that we would react a certain way but until we are in that very same position then we truly do not know.

Fear, grief, sadness, papparazi attention and now the finger of being implicated makes one act in ways we may not understand.

For all we know, LE has told everyone to keep a low profile, avoid speaking to the media and that could very well be what they are doing.

 

[no nonsense]

This is my first post sorry I'm new to this. Is there any chance that this lady willingly went with? I understand the reports that she was taken against her will, but I'm just curious if there was any motives on her side to join

She didn’t take her phone, her purse, her watch (which connects to her pacemaker), her very necessary meds, and there are blood drops at the scene. None of this screams “voluntary”.

 

[Sessiebo]

Because they are going through a hard time. Because the media is invading their lives. Because they want privacy. Because they haven't been named as suspects. Would YOU want to be dealing with all this during the worst time of your life?

I wouldn't hide my face, why would i do that? I have nothing to hide and all i care about is getting my mom back home safe.

SG is also a lawyer and really smart woman. Whatever she is doing, she knows exactly what the ramifications of those actions are. Everything is still speculative though right?!

This makes the time frame longer (when the alleged abductors were inside the house), which is odd if an abduction as you'd think the perp would want to get in and out as quickly as possible ?

 

[Maybe?]

If an insider killed NG they may have moved the body from the home or killed her away from the home to try to make it seem like it was a stranger killing/abduction. JMO.

Possibly. I am wondering why there are numerous blood drops at the front door. If she had a bloody nose and they moved her to a car, only a couple to a few drops would be visible. Why are there many drops directly the front door?

Former hostage negotiator offers theory on Nancy Guthrie abduction

The terrifying abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy may have been pulled off by a coordinated group of criminals, a former hostage negotiator believes.

What is the card which has been posted in the doorframe in the photo in this article?

This is very intriguing. Does anyone know about how this works? Would an APS caseworker be brought along to a call about a missing elderly person, automatically?

In my mind, MOO, I could imagine a scenario where a caseworker paid a call stemming from a report to APS about a possible case of elder abuse. Finding no one home, they leave their card just in case. Or if the person denies them a meeting, they leave their card, again, just in case.

I’m guessing, IMO, the card was left behind after the police released the home back to the family, in case someone wanted to report something. But if the police and FBI are on the case, it’s gone well beyond APS.

Curious about this, if anyone has any insight.
