Here u go guys!!!

C'mon journo! When you asked if it provided proof of life and she said 'no', doesn't it follow that the next question should be "did it provide an avenue to obtain proof of life"? I mean, it could've contained a link or directions to a live feed! Haven't you ever watched '24'?

Taking photos of whatever that thing is.

I fear she is in the duct work or whatever that is called with the heating and cooling system or in the planter. I can't take it, no way are they not looking for a body now. Please let my feeling be wrong

Maybe they’re distracting us from something else going on. This is weird.

I strongly considered this option. And/or, if not "us", the perpetrator(s).

 

[SleuthyLou]

Maybe a neighbor was the abductor and NG has been next door…I’m turning on scanners and will head to “the basement” and post here if anything comes up. There is currently a search going on in town there for a missing person with dementia. Worth mentioning in case anyone is listening and gets confused.

I keep wondering if she will be found in the heating/airconditioning system, this is obviously them looking for a body imo

If the body is on the property, the dogs would be able find it. Are they even using the dogs?

Perhaps they can't give proof of life.

Yea that’s what I’m suspecting sadly

Looked like a bulb, to me. She removed it and handed it to an agent on the ground.

It is known that she returned home because her pacemaker connected to her Apple phone at her house about 9:45, I think. Despicable is a strong word. According to family, Nancy was able to get around in her house just fine but not good at walking long distances. Uber is as safe as any other type of transportation. Nancy was known to be spunky and independent, maybe she wanted to take Uber as to not be a burden. We just don't know all the dynamics here.

All true. But we have no idea how that evening went.

If they were searching another area? Yes it would.

no, it wouldn't. You have people around the daughter's house and around NG's house and near the sherriff's dept so you're going to have the media pretty much everywhere.

 

[moonbeams]

Fargo, that's brilliant. Now that you're suggested this, that's exactly what I'm also thinking they might be doing. Gas stations tend to have multiple cameras and angles. And it's so close to their neighborhood.

i keep seeing this Fargo reference.... can someone tell me what you'all are talking about?

 

[nycpizzaparty]

It does seem that way. There is an obvious focus around that roof area, below, near it and even officers looking at the view points whilst standing on the roof. jmo.

I remember reading allegedly floodlights were broken. Floodlights are often positioned at the highest part of the side of a house. In a house with a flat roof like this, you could go on the roof to get very close to the light instead of just hanging out at the top of the ladder.

How were the floodlights broken? If something was thrown at them to break them, it's possible it ended up on the roof. Maybe there are prints or DNA on the thing?

 

[thefragile7393]

I don't think LE is interested in vehicles that may have been at the Circle K. They're interested in what video their cameras may have captured of cars coming and going near that neighborhood. I'll leave it at that. I suspect the pieces are coming together.

My opinion only.

That makes the most sense

 

[Chimera]

So two return searches by LE shortly after getting ransom notes now? If this is real, did the abductor alter the house/property in subtle ways during the appx. 40 minutes between the disconnect of the camera and the stopped sync of the watch? And each note has contained a version of “hey LE, look for this at the house and you’ll know I’m the real deal.”?

Good points.
Makes it sound like whomever is behind this had close and intimate details of Nancy's life or at least her house and what was in it ?
Imo.

Matt Murphy on News Nation….I love him. He does not believe the notes are related to the crime. Just an opportunist. Sadly, he doesn’t think she’s alive.

Not likely a body - there would be an odor of decay by now.

What a lovely property.... she should be there, living her life privately....

Sigh.

I was thinking the same. It’s a beautiful property.

That...planter isn't big enough. Ductwork? it's pretty narrow. getting an elderly person up there who is *excuse me* dead weight would not be easy,

 

[Absoluterubbish]

That makes the most sense

Remember yesterday there was apparently a neighbour who had seen something on her walk she wanted to report. Maybe that’s the car at the Circle K

it really is. Absolutely gorgeous out there. I could only dream of living out there.

This is a great question. They used dogs early on in the investigation. Where specifically, no one knows.
