"We covet what we see every day"...also from Silence of the Lambs. Perhaps something to do with the cameras. Or neighbors.

 

[turaj]

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

just beautiful however what I keep thinking is that is a lot of house, garden, pool and land for one older woman to. keep up with. I know she has lots of help but I would not be comfortable sleeping there alone.

 

[BrownRice]

Because who would think to look there, they are all looking on the ground

I meant what could possibly be the point of killing a grandmother, apparently not stealing anything, and hiding her within the house? For what purpose?

 

[emigrate]

Scary version? They don't belong to LE or NG

I was thinking that but could LE have put them up from first day hoping to catch someone coming back

 

[Absoluterubbish]

I wonder if we will get another video from the family after today’s new note

 

[captdj]

Or they were trying to get out of house???

The lack of smearing or feet outlined etc thou.. has me wondering how carefully blood was placed and no one walked thru it..like the victim if her face was bleeding.. then it appeared some flower or bush buds were above the blood on Brian's video

That would go back to something we are not allowed to speculate on, being someone related or someone known to someone related.

 

[acutename]

The big guys would hold onto it longer, making sure to interact with LE.
TMZ doesn't have as much to lose.

we actually do not know that it was not sent to other news networks

 

[Starkville]

See this seems really strange to me. If they want their money why didn’t they send proof of life. They originally said there would be no more communication which they have now gone against but still haven’t given proof of life even after the 2 family videos requesting just that.

People who are this evil would also hold a dead body for ransom, too, IMO. Families want to lay their loved ones to rest. IMO, they might be hoping the family will still pay something, if only to recover her remains and give her a proper Christian burial.

Sorry to be so morbid, but this is a possibility, JMO.

Ya I get it, but that makes no sense either. But nothing makes sense!

 

[Bluewing3102]

I hope i'm extremely wrong but it seems like the Sherrifs department dropped the ball on the investigation and possibly if things were looked at more thoroughly to begin with we wouldn't be nearing day 7 with not many developments.

I truly hope this investigation is a lot further than LE is letting on. For Nancy's sake

JMO

It would take more than 40 minutes to conceal a body in the ductwork on the roof. You'd need equipment to dismantle, put back together, not to mention getting her up there in the first place. Much easier to conceal her elsewhere, the septic tank for example, or off property, buried with lime so as not to attract birds and prey.
Hate considering these options.....

That is true but it was dark and had plenty of time, hours, maybe this certain set of fellows knows someone handy with ductwork, those guys can do it very fast. You wouldn't have to do whole thing just a portion. But I don't see any blood on roof so, hope not, hope she is still with us

Just my opinion, but it looked like the police had set up cameras on the main house roof vent stack looking into the back yard over the back door that leads into the garage; on the front corner of the guest house roof looking out at the driveway toward the street, and on the side of the guest house roof looking out toward the covered open back porch on the main home. Remember how LE turned the house back over quickly - guessing they set these cameras up and are back today recovering footage from these cameras. LE may have set a trap. Just my thoughts based on what was seen in the drone view footage.

Brian Entin and crew were staked out at the house as soon as it was turned back over. They went right up to the door and had drones flying. How would the perp get in and do something shady in the backyard without being seen?

Yes a trap, I wonder if they will find anything and wonder what made them decide on tonight

But why would they go back and get them now? Even if they had solved the case I don’t think they’d be focusing on going back to retrieve them. It’s not like they’d put up cameras that weren’t streaming and saving to something.

they can't stream because they'd have to connect to wifi to do that, and if they connected to NG's wifi, they'd contaminate the crime scene and her internet evidence. using solar cameras with a memory card avoids that problem - but you have to come back and swap out the card at some point.

 

[Luna20]

Kidnappers hold all the cards. The family is in no position to make reciprocal demands.

IMO.

I’m talking about the kidnapper, not the family.

 

[Alkali13]

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

Why, in the span of 41 minutes tops, someone kill NG, then go outside in plain sight to shove the body in the HVAC system?

 

[Vegasgrl]

For everyone that thinks this is a search for a hidden body - it's a different kind of winter in Tucson. Today was 78 degrees. A body in a house would have been obvious days ago.

 

[Vaderman]

FOX drone stream is just FBI agents shining flashlights around now

 

[clearskies1]

I think this former Navy SEAL commander/hostage negotiator is insightful. Says person is not negotiating in good faith, has shown propensity for violence (NG's blood at front door), and that you basically can't pay without proof of life.
