I dunno... If the thought of "our faces are now going to be plastered everywhere", I feel I would do what they did.
We never really know until it happens.
I'm not going to post it here so moo...but I always remember a last picture of Diana, Prin of Wales... hiding her face when getting into that fateful car... Why would she bother. I would say, "just because"

That's true

Has LE come out to confirm or deny anything in Banfield's report? I saw some comments on her video from people saying that LE said that the SIL's vehicle was not impounded and that he is not a suspect.

Exactly. In situations like this you're damned if you do and damned if you don't....jmo

Nailed it. "Oh that's not normal." Stop already, you don't know what is and isn't normal in this case. People react so differently to things and it does not necessarily admit guilt. People need to chill.

The blood makes me think it wasn’t the BIL. If the BIL needed to get her in the car, even in the middle of the night, it would be very easy for him to come over and make up some frantic story like his wife was at the hospital and wanted her mom there or something. I feel like she’d have went willingly if it were him.

That's under the assumption he is ok with being recognized by NG. If this was a ransom scheme to stage abduction and leverage SG for money they wouldn't want NG knowing who her kidnappers were.

If it was something more sinister such as removing her from the home to murder her then yes your theory might be right.

I hate to say it but my first thought (before knowing exactly who the family member was) was that the person who dropped her off Saturday may have been responsible. I never heard that it was verified through anything but the family member reporting that she made into the house safely.

If they were responsible (speculation still at this point), I wonder the circumstances. I don’t feel that a disappearance/ransom was the original intent. My thought was there was a conversation or request for money that didn’t go the way that they had hoped. Anger ensued and the situation took an ugly turn. After that, things were staged to look like an abduction and cameras removed. jMO. I definitely feel something seems off with the circumstances. I mean why wait an hour to call police when the front door looked like it did. My immediate thought would be to call police as soon as I saw all that. I hate to speculate on family members but this case is such a one off, it doesn’t seem random.

Yes, a lot of posts about this in the last few pages of this thread.

Valid points imo. I just don't view her as an outspoken obnoxious public figure. Some people may see her differently though. Just my opinion and brainstorming random thoughts

Did anyone hear about NG social media being controversial? Not sure if was here or on Ctv, but they said that NG was very vocal about ICE and her political views.

 

[Sessiebo]

Sorry to butt in, but please agree to disagree and don't get into a fight, this thread is probably on thin ice as is already.

Just can't stand when people point the finger but then turn around and do the same. But you are very right, my bad
This topic deserves to focus on Nancy, thank you for pointing that out

Daughter dropped her off after church dinner around 9:30pm to 9:45pm. There's no way in my opinion that daughter would not make sure Mom, victim, was safe and sound in bed before leaving house. Maybe daughter left house at 2AM? The blood spots in front exterior entry way stop before gravel which seems to mean maybe car right there. I see so many pictures of victim and daughter Savannah but like maybe one of Annie. That speaks volumes to me.

No. NG lived alone and was capable of putting herself to bed. My 89 year old mother used a cane but still drove and put herself to bed every night her.

ok it sounds like they are just saying no suspects have been identified and they are still looking at evidence. That is understandable. No one is ruled out and no one is ruled in at this point, officially anyway.

 

[tori lights]

There have been so many new pages since I looked at this thread last night. Do the in laws need money? Are they in any kind of new debt?

I really hope she wasn’t abducted due to a Facebook post.

 

[CuriousCricket]

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?

They got her out the door, then one stayed with her while another moved the car as close to the door as possible.

It isn't likely the car was parked where it could be seen by the camera. Once the camera was removed, then the car was brought as close as possible in order to get NG inside.

The blood drops accumulated while they waited for the car to be moved.

The idea of a kidnapping in this day and age seems so odd as any transaction can be monitored.

Fundamentally, I agree with you regarding the lows odds for a kidnapping for ransom.

But.... some transactions are far easier to monitor than others. Evidently, certain bit coin transactions can be very hard, even for national level agencies to monitor. The transactions may also lead to countries were cooperation is slow and half hearted.

For example: Good news!! We traced the Bitcoin ransomware that company "C" paid to get their computers back. Bad news, it was traced to Yemen. The Yeminites swear they are "working on it" and will get back to us asap. But.... that was 4 months ago.

Jeez, the last exhausting Bitcoin trace was to Russia. It took the Russians 12 months to "cooperate". All we got was the most basic information about who they might (key word) have been. The money had been de-Bitcoined and was long gone.

AB should have not been going on and on about this. Then calling him a prime suspect... That's a tad bit irresponsibile! She should know better!

For anyone commenting on Annie and Tommaso hiding their faces, let me just say this: A few years ago, someone very close to me died. At the celebration of life, most everyone we collectively knew was there—which was over 700 people. As we were about to sit down, I realized I was the only one standing and still far from my seat. All eyes were on me, and in this very surreal moment, all I wanted to do was hide. Hide from the people, the situation, the loss. All of it. It’s a moment I will never forget.

While I cannot relate specifically to what NG’s family is going through, I can say 100% for sure I would want to hide from it all. I simply cannot imagine having the entire country watching and analyzing all of this as it unfolds. My heart breaks for them.

Unless they did it, then I take it all back

I believe LE is stating she needs meds, and can’t move well, to try and get sympathy from whoever may have her in hopes that they may release her. MOO

 

[MesquiteO21]

I’m always wary of judging peoples looks whilst they are only a suspect. This comes from closely following the Joanna Yates case.
Christopher Jeffries in the Joanna Yates’ - he was basically tried and found guilty by the media for looking ‘scary’ and eccentric - turns out he had absolutely nothing to do with her murder and the media had to pay all sorts of compensation to him.

no you're right. i definitely believe in innocent until/unless proven guilty and i wouldn't want someone tried on looks alone. it was just a visceral reaction which is hard to fight sometimes, but let us follow facts and not looks, you are absolutely correct.

moo

I agree with all of this.
