That's why it feels like it was someone she knew, let into the home. Or, they could have gotten in through a back door.

Maybe even someone who had a key or knew a numeric key code if, by chance, other entrance(s) had those types of locks. (Could have let himself/herself/themselves inside, if that is the case.)

Yes. This has been confirmed in press conference.

Thank you, that's sad.

he looks older than that in the picture of him from christmas. he looks older than SG's kids.

I’m going off of my oldest grandson and I’d say he looks to be around the same age, but I’m probably wrong.

Or they could have had keys to the house.

Do we know the ages of the grandchildren?

I recall LE saying they took NG’s car in for inspection. Maybe because she was last seen entering her garage.IDK.

But, does anyone know if AG’s car was taken in for inspection as was mentioned in AB’s inside intel allegations?

that's why I'm wondering if this is a faked kidnapping and the inheritance is the real goal...with the possibility of ransom cash.

serious kidnappers would put her on the phone and give a serious proof of life, because they want that bitcoin.

waiting for a new ransom request.

i seriously don't get the impressing that NG is loaded..... i don't know what she did as a job to raise her kids once she was widowed.... but i've not seen anything that leads me to believe she's rich.

her home is valued at a million BUT it was apparently purchased for $85,000 YEARS ago based on posts early in the thread.

do i can't see where HER money is the motivation for ransom.....

SA is never about s3x, but control.

Absolutely! I posted this earlier, but it's probably buried over 100 posts back, so please forgive me if you've read this before...

About a month ago, I was listening to an FBI Profiler. Astonishingly, she said that if an elderly woman living alone is raped/murdered, it's more likely than not a neighbor's teenage son.

Maybe Nancy faked her own disappearance to run off with a secret lover and is now sipping frozen drinks on a private beach.

Just trying to come up with something less daunting

So many pages of posts, so many details. And lots of non-details!

The person who hurt/toom NG could have been in the house WAY before 1:47. That time and the 2:12 could have been after the fact/ converging tracks.

Or perhaps DJT isn’t actually the devil as portrayed…

That's debatable, in another forum

Ransom doesn't see legit if they set a deadline and still made no contact.

Yup. There are only really two options:

Someone did this to throw off the investigation.

Someone is trying to cash in.

At the very least, you'd expect a real abductor to reach out to the media again offering some semblance of proof of life.

Yes, seems the fbi are in control and are not sharing things with the sheriff. Sending out a video from the family seems like it would be something the sheriff should know as well.

 

[BlueRidgeCat]

Maybe it's just me, but what kind of ransom note says send the money by 5 pm Thursday or else.....or Monday. This whole thing is very odd.

 

[Navillus923]

Yes, THIS! I'm sure she hated the fact that she wasn't able to walk very well, so my theory is that she insisted on taking an Uber. That would also be a way to exercise your independence.

I was thinking the same thing and maybe she got friendly and had the same Uber driver for things she needed to do.

Interesting!
ETA perhaps this together with the bitcoin request would impact the age range of the perpetrator?

I mean, supposedly the ransom note included a bitcoin wallet address. So the ransom could have been paid without any contact, and maybe that's what they wanted. It's not as if contact would have been needed in order to comply with the demand.
