I am wondering if this new message is where to find her body, and that's why they want no traffic.

I'm praying that is not the case.

What are the chances this is a thrill crime? Someone put great effort into planning and pulling this off. Maybe they aren’t motivated by the money, they just want to see if they can do it. Seems like they’re having fun with the media hoopla and playing chess with the fbi.

Maybe, or the ability to entice fear? If the same horrific situation was occurring to someone else in Arizona, to another 84-year-old woman, living in a similar situation I’m not sure it would garner this much attention or that this thread would be so large and fast moving? I think so many of us are obviously engaged because this 84-year-old woman is the mother of SG. Also I feel NG’s life, health and living circumstances have a similarity to that of our own family members and even ourselves. I think the motivation is less about money and more about attention and distraction.

so how do the ransom notes fit in?

They're an imposter.

Info from Google search: An Apple Watch cannot detect a pacemaker in a dead person, as the watch is designed to monitor human pulse and blood flow, not electronic device signals. If a person passes away, the Apple Watch will stop recording heart rate data because it can no longer detect blood flow or pulse, and it may lock itself, thinking it is no longer on a wrist.

Just a guess here, but if her pacemaker is connected to her Apple Watch, there's a chance it may also be synced with another device, like her smartphone (if she has one).

Not sure if another device would work any better, but it's possible that her pacemaker was synced to multiple devices.

I don't think family is involved, BUT AG is also a professor of creative writing iirc.

Which in my view makes it even more unlikely she or her husband are involved. A "creative writing professor" does not fit the criminal profile of a sophisticated abduction and ransom, staged or otherwise.

NBC just reported a suspect vehicle was at the Circle K

Wait what?

Has to be some place where a vehicle can be taken.

Wouldn't there be a few entry points in neighborhoods I know the Canada border there is.

They're an imposter.

You may be correct, but what's the reality? Murder covered up?

Law enforcement officials in Arizona are searching for a vehicle or vehicles that may be connected to the Nancy Guthrie investigation, NBC News has learned.

A Circle K spokesperson told NBC News that law enforcement visited one of their stores on Oracle Road in Tucson after “receiving a tip regarding a vehicle of interest, and our team has provided them access to the store’s surveillance video.”

What is the Circle K, please?

 

[emigrate]

I'm really concerned why they've blocked off the whole stretch of street, unlike yesterday, if they are just searching for something to authenticate this new note. For an object in the house for example?
Reporters would see if any forensic vehicles, coroners arrive though right? An ambulance would be more positive.

seems that Fox bird's eye view drone has been cut off too.

This is so disturbing, and I can't imagine how the children are feeling now, especially SG.
I need to go for a walk....

How did they cut it off, the police have a way to do that?

Try to find a link for this. I am pretty sure @tricia is going to want one.

The vallow/daybell case was pretty out there!

How about Dan Markel, big conspiracy case, 7 people involved. Stretched out over years.
