Uh, yeah. Did anyone check the basement?

Tucson homes don't have basements.

 

[CarolynV]

Sigh, so worrisome. Sad to say that the person who installed the cameras would know exactly where they were.

 

[DrGonzo]

Calm down. Quit yelling. Not everyone has time to read everything as this thread is moving at lightning speed.

If I remember correctly in the past such threads got a nice summary post every once in a while with a list of stuff known and confirmed by a source. It would be very useful here.

 

[SlimPickens]

If the Nest camera trigger is when the event began and the pacemaker going silent is when the main act occurred, then the person who drove her home becomes less of a compelling suspect.

JMO.

I live less than a mile from NG. They are a well known and well liked family here in Tucson. NG's husband passed away when SG was a teenager. No DV here.

Respectfully, you never know what goes on behind closed doors. Plenty of well known and well liked families experience DV. NG could have had a partner, also.

The amount of blood by the front door...I personally don't think it looks like a life threatening amount. Can they figure out how long the blood was there? I think it's a significant amount that would have required a bandage at least. Thinking about if it could have been there for a few days from an injury completely unrelated.

Where is Nancy!?

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos did not know the Guthrie family was going to post an emotional plea for their mother to be returned on social media last night, he said.

In the video, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings tearfully asked for proof that their mother was alive.

Nanos told CNN his wife showed him the video for the first time after it was posted last night.

The Guthrie family is “devastated,” the sheriff said, adding he has “opened the door for them to contact me anytime.” Nanos said he has not met Savannah Guthrie in person, but they have texted each other.

“Anybody who watches that video, I don’t know how they can sit there and not say, ‘My goodness, we need to get this lady back,’” Nanos said

i missed that interview so thanks for the info. I would think it normal for family to meet the man responsible for finding their missing mother?

 

[gammagirl]

God forbid it was a family member, where would they hold her???

 

[turaj]

Apologies if I missed it, but do we know she definitely used Uber from her home to Annie's home? Or, could she have Ubered directly to the restaurant?

they had dinner at Annie's per the reports I have heard.

Obviously (or hopefully) this is not 'everything' law enforcement knows....
So why release these particular bullet points? How do they 'help' the search?
I feel like this information is strategic but I'm not sure how...

My

This is very strange to me.

grandmother is over 10 years older than NG, and is extremely independent and lives alone, catching taxis, going shopping and out to social events regularly

Your grandmother sounds awesome! I don't think anyone is implying that NG is incapable of taking an Uber, but I can't think of many 84 year olds, especially women, who are comfortable doing that. Having said that, I can't see how her decision to do that has much to do with the case, other than looking at the Uber driver, which they've apparently done.

she absolutely is, thank you so much

Bbm.
I never considered that, thanks for bringing it up.
Maybe because no partner or even close friend had been mentioned ?
Some people like their privacy when they're at home.
Imo.

This is exactly where I have been.. if the SIL, and he is being watched, where the heck is she? How would she be taken care of..

I do not see anyone in the family being involved whatsoever, JMO. NG is 84 and I hate to say this but life doesn’t last forever. If this was a family member who was after inheritance, why do all of this and risk their whole life, when realistically NG isn’t going to live forever? What would the benefit be in staging this crime against someone whose time is already somewhat limited? Additionally, her health wasn’t great to begin with. If it was someone close to her, I’d imagine the “easier” and less risky route would be poisoning her. Not only would it draw far less attention, but it’s possible nobody would even question it given her health and age. There would just be no reason for any of them to do all of this if their goal was to harm NG and collect inheritance. JMO.

 

[turaj]

NG is 84 and not in very good health all things considered. They would have to be very desperate and on a very short timeline to do sth like this. AG's husband is known to have a job as a teacher. I assume it's not the best paying job out there but at least it's a job and it's somewhat stable. Do we know what AG is doing for a living?

she is a poet.

I’m currently catching up im on page 200 out of 258 so I apologise if this has been mentioned.

For me this person HAS to be somebody who knew that ring door bell would not record - or they’ve just got EXTREMELY lucky.

I feel these door bells need to be looked at in future surely for crime purposes they need to have some sort of backup if you haven’t paid the subscription which at least lasts a few days which law enforcement can access.

The only thing I can think of is a family member getting into an argument with NG over future inheritance, and the argument is so heated that it escalates to severe injury that can't be reported. Then kidnapping staged as a misdirection.

What does this mean… biological evidence?

In response to reporter asking if there is any other physical evidence?

He basically says we processed the scene for biological evidence and we are still hopeful that maybe something will show up there.
