I ran across the article earlier as well. Burglary and theft(?) were associated with the individual... Will see if I can backtrack!
Hahahaha! I don't think an online source with the word "Bollywood" in its name is going to be very reputable.

I think it is safe to say the majority would think nothing of having their husband take their mother home 10 minutes away. I did think taking the Uber was odd.

Uber if ALL people at the party had been drinking. Uber is a good option.

Ashleigh's latest after yesterday's presser.

I’m wondering if her garage opens with an app. That would explain how they know the exact time it opened and closed, but I have an app for my garage and you can open and close it from anywhere - you don’t have to be anywhere near the house.

But I think that podcaster also stated LE first look at the inner circle and the person who last saw the victim. I wonder if she misinterpreted that as he IS the prime suspect when LE meant simply they look at the inner circle first.

She was very adamant about it. Definitely didn’t seem confused or like she misinterpreted something. She claimed her source was very high up in law enforcement and she stated that over and over. & she’s not known to be “sensational” or irresponsible, so this is very odd for her.

Editing to add that I’m not saying she’s right or wrong. I’m just baffled by it. Very strange for HER to make such a claim

Of course not. But he has a dark and brooding look. He looks 100% Italian to me. In fact, when I first saw his name I thought, that's an Italian name, I wonder if he was born in Italy or in the States? Then I saw a picture of him and said, "Yep, that's a born and bred Italian." And I was right. My point is that I've seen comments saying, "he just looks weird" or "creepy." Ridiculous statements IMO. You can't convict someone of a crime because they look a certain way!
AC was born in Italy but been here I think since 2006.

This would be incredibly foolish- the time can be verified by their cell phones. The call from the church member, the call to 911, the location of the phones, perhaps even that they opened the garage door.
All true, but all I am really saying is that, if it was confirmed information (which should have been easily done, as we know) and NOT under suspicion or dispute, then why not include it in the timeline when it was included previously?

I don't know why we keep debating about the uber being "odd." We've established repeatedly that in many families and with many relatives (including mine) this would not be odd in the least. We've also established that in some families they wouldn't do it. Fine. Families are different. If it's normal in some families, it could very well be normal in the Guthrie family, so I don't think it really says anything either way about the crime. Going on and on about this is like hearing that they had pizza for dinner, and saying "I don't like pizza, so someone in the family must have done it!"

I understand we are looking at the family and people close to her, also the last one to see her. With those items, I think it’s fair to say he needs considered but I think those are fair to say - we need more info.

We don’t know that he is abusive or substance using. We don’t know that he was gone that night.

Thanks for those who responded I really thought I missed a gigantic piece and this is too much of a beast to try to find it 😆

First we couldn’t believe it took them so long to call 911 which didn’t end up being true. And now there is an hour between the parishioner call to the family and then heading over there 😩

now that Maureen O thinks the same there could be something to this. Their sources know much more.

I guess Nancy did whatever she wanted and didn't ask her children. 😁

To each his own... I would never let my hubby take my mom home without me going with. WHY? Because it's MY MOM! I won't elaborate further
Maybe it was a protectiveness thing - maybe he didn't want wife driving after dark. I don't want to stereotype people, but I do think that there's a general understanding that Italian people are very family-oriented and the men are particularly protective of their families. So it could just be how he was raised, that he felt like it was appropriate for him to take her home.

I think it's really important to notice that the call from the church friend appears nowhere on the official timeline. That doesn't mean it didn't happen, but I don't think that we can just interleave events from the official timeline and from other sources and assume we have an accurate picture.

I don't think that's entirely true, i'm sorry. There are many different layers of men in Italy, as there are in every other country.
Just as women don't like to be typecast, as goes for men 😅
Don't ever judge a book by it's a cover! Met a guy years ago (born in Mpls, then from Tucson), who was a motivational speaker hired by Top 100 firms to speak around the world on this exact topic & bullying. He was FULLY tattooed, including bullet piercings everywhere (he bared to show). To see him walking down the street was a scary sight (thescaryguy.com). Scary smart, highly educated and one of the nicest people you'd ever want to meet...

I can’t buy into the ransom thing.
I believe the person that took her may be the person that wrote the note but only did so as a red herring. I believe the cops think the same thing.
I’m trying to figure out why would they offer two different dates for the money to be deposited? Yes, it would take time for the family to do this, but why not have Monday as the date only? I’m not convinced the ransom demand is real. LE/FBI etc. have more knowledge about this situation and for obvious reasons, they are not sharing information with us. Maybe they’re watching someone’s movements (physically/electronically) and trying to get them to make contact with the family? Say the family pays the money, what happens next? Where and how would N be dropped off without being seen? She would be able to give details of who she was with (known or unknown person to her) and they would likely be caught, so why risk it? The family has nothing to lose by paying the ransom other than it being a huge financial loss, but no reassurance N is alive, no proof as of yet. I like to have a positive outlook on life, but I don’t believe N is alive and have shared my opinions why. I think something is going to break in the case in the near future, maybe today, but before Monday an arrest will be announced. I don’t know anything more about this case than anyone else, it’s just my personal thoughts.

My opinions only:

What are the chances that Nancy Guthrie is still alive? <20%

What are the chances the one responsible was a healthcare person, gardener, maid, electrician, etc? 40%

What are the chances the one responsible was a family member? 60%

What are the chances the police and FBI will eventually solve this case? 80%

When do I think a person(s) will be arrested? Within the next 10 days.

Agreed! Especially when first reports were that she was dropped off around 9:30 and it ended up being closer to 9:50!
