Especially considering that are into crypto. One can guarantee, this ransom letter was written via AI. No doubt about it!

Harvey said the opposite, that it was clearly not written by AI. It’s super easy to tell, and I guess it included specific references that gave away where he might be from.

Heck, I don't even open my door in the daylight if I'm not expecting anyone, and I've had 2 knockers already today (the doorbell is unhooked). So in the middle of the night, like it was for Nancy? Nope. No way was she going to answer the door, unless they banged and said "Fire department!!", and/or, she was groggy and not thinking clearly from being woken from a deep sleep.

That's why I'm pretty sure it was someone she knew.

ChatGBT could also help create a letter like this, these days.

Very good point about ChatGPT possibly being used. AI is going to be mankind's downfall. I swear it is and I do NOT want to be right.

I will be absolutely shocked if any ransom note is legit. It’s just other scammers/losers and it’s taking time and attention away.

I think it's probably just some random, skilled hacker from another country capitalizing and contributing to the chaos and confusion. Probably deft enough to evade identification for quite awhile.

Who knows, they may be much further ahead of the game than we currently know.

I'm remembering in the Moscow, Idaho murders, the police chief saying things such as, "We really have no idea about that", etc. and it turned out they were moving in for an arrest.

Playing dumb to protect the investigation.

Omg I wonder what is going on?

 

[Absoluterubbish]

Maybe the proof of life was asking Nancy to state where something is in her house that noone else would know. This doesn’t seem
Actual proof of life to me but seems like a possibility

Here’s a video with Harvey Levin describing the letters structure, grammar, etc.

What was the veiled accusation ?

I'm sorry but this is just CRAZY and I don't like it one bit. I fear other bad guys are watching and taking notes. I also fear copycat abductions.

I agree!! Scary and if you have means your loved ones are now targets! The baddies may not get to the celebrity but they can get to the loved one and have the same results.

Hazarding a guess, maybe they're trying to escape the media?

I’m thinking just the opposite. They’re completely engaging with the media and this is very important to them, maybe even more so than the ransom?

When TMZ first reported the ransom letter and the one reporter was holding it, the other one flipped up the paper, like to prevent something from being seen. Then another person is seen putting a piece of paper in front of the letter. Was there a photo of N on the letter? Or what was it ?

It was a phone number. I actually took a picture with my phone and mirrored it.

In Harvey Levin's opinion, who first saw the ransom note, he said it's "well written" (which I am dubious of watching Harvey) and went on to say "it's definitely not AI".

But that's his opinion and a lot of leaks in this case are majorly framed in speculation (including the Sheriff)

Interesting. They didn’t move the media away the last time

Going back to retrieve or check something mentioned in this most recent letter is my guess!!

Seems to me they didn't move back media to this degree during yesterday's re- crimetaping and search of the garage

letter contained info they will verify. this is getting really interesting.

What was the veiled accusation ?

I think the person is saying that using the word "teacher" is a nod toward the SIL because he is a teacher. But Harvey says English teacher (referencing grammar and writing style) and I think the SIL is a science teacher.

Well that is extremely odd. Like they’re checking out something claimed in the latest note… imo
