Thinking about potential motives.

"Qui bono?"
And not just who benefits, but how.

In so many cases we've followed, the motive proves to be a monetary/financial one.

Me too I can't even imagine...
My heart really goes out to Savannah & all her family & friends. Hopefully mom Nancy comes home safe n sound soon!

After Helene, my sister and dad had zero cell service. They were fine, minimal property damage. But the hours waiting to know if they were ok was excruciating! I just can't imagine how SG and family are feeling

you're not wrong, but putting that out there without LE being involved isn't good, even if she is correct.

She expressed utmost trust in the source, so will be interesting if it turns out she was given wrong info.

OK, I'm just gonna put this out there. I think the flatbed truck is the distraction. Almost an hour ago this notification was sent out to LE https://www.uscrimeradar.com/m/2283...&_f=app_share&send_time=1770235314&gen_by=ios

I posted pictures for reference. Forgive me if this is not allowed on this thread but I wanted to put it out there. Now there may just be another 80-year-old woman Missing from the same county. IMO I think this is quite a coincidence.

very interesting for sure!

The Pima County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... in early January, an elderly man spotted the trespasser at his Tucson home, less than 10 minutes away from 84-year-old Nancy's house. The sheriff's department said the case was forwarded to the unit investigating Nancy's case for possible leads.

TMZ spoke to the elderly man, who says he caught the loiterer in his yard after a motion sensor went off and a floodlight switched on. We're told the light spooked the uninvited guest, who fled on foot before anyone could get a good look at his face. The man noted there was no break-in attempt and nothing was stolen from his yard.

Nancy Guthrie Abduction Possibly Linked to Trespassing Case in Neighborhood, Cops Say

A suspicious man was seen lurking in someone's yard near Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home several weeks ago ... and police are now investigating the case to see if it's tied to the mother of Savannah Guthrie's kidnapping.

I'm not sure I could come up with a figure in my head that you could pay me to wander around in that desert at night.

It is odd. This is roughly 30 minutes from NG's home.

Hopefully a Police Information Officer (PIO) will be assigned for the PCs and try to streamline the information to avoid misinformation.

Here I go again…the sheriff said Thursday is when the next press conference will be, but why? Is something coming together behind the scenes that will be announced Thursday? If there isn’t any new information that’s of real importance, why have it? Does anyone else think this?

Do Bobcats remove Nest cams?

BM (Colorado) said mountain lions do.

How heavy are the lids? Would you need some type of equipment to lift it off?

No. They are fairly lightweight. I think they are made of some kind of thick polyethylene. Heavier than a 24" round garbage can lid, but easy for one small person to unscrew the bolts, then lift and set aside.

Thinking about potential motives.

"Qui bono?"
And not just who benefits, but how.

One of the interesting snippets from the AB video was when she talked about her law enforcement source speculating about why anyone would want to kidnap an 84-year-old woman. According to AB at the 20:23 mark of her vid, here's what the LE source said:

"So, you look at people who would have a benefit to an 84-year-old woman going away, disappearing or dying....
Sometimes it's somebody who has an an insurance benefit from that.
Sometimes it's somebody who may benefit because there's a debt...and that may be helpful."

AB goes on to point out these are just musings from the source, not evidence.

In so many cases we've followed, the motive proves to be a monetary/financial one.

Some people's eyes are bigger than their wallets.
"For the love of money is the root of all evil."

And that's all I have to say about that.
For now.

JMO.

Follow the money

Same county - same age -

He announced yesterday that he would not give another presser until Thursday unless something developed before then. I think they are telling media that LE is in charge of when they will share info and don't want to be badgered. Ask questions Thursday, in other words.

May be relevant....maybe not. TMZ digging around and speaking to neighbors just feels weird even though I know they do this with celebrities

My mind is on overdrive and I’m thinking he is going to announce an arrest or big break in the case. Or NG has been found alive and is safe.

as an older woman living on my own (not as old as NG) I could never life in that massive house with no close by neighbors and really no lights at night. That said it is beautiful out there and that pool looks inviting but I could not sleep there. She has been living there many years on her own and obviously feels comfortable.

I thought I read somewhere that the reason she loved Arizona so much was because it reminded her of Australia. I've never been to Australia so I don't know.
