Can someone please give the cliff notes of today's updates for me? Minus the political mumbo jumbo about sources etc.
I'm seeing something about a camera but I can't read 100 pages tonight lol
A news outlet that had previously received a communication from the "kidnapper," received another communication. It appeared similar, and included some detail that would supposedly verify that they were the same person who sent the previous communication.

This communication was sent through the newsroom tip system, and wasn't an email as we had previously believed. That's likely the case with the communications the other station and TMZ received in the past, but not a fact.

After this communication, police returned to the house. They were spread out all over the place, seemingly looking at different things. They may have removed a camera from the roof area of the house.

That's pretty much it.

We don't know that they didn't have police sitting on the house. We've also seen them set up cameras to monitor locations in previous cases. I remember the Jayme Closs case where a police camera captured someone breaking into the house weeks after the murders.

A potential deviation in all of this is that the cameras may be the kidnapper(s) and he/she/they referenced them in the second letter. Indeed, what if the perp was watching the investigators? 😳

JMO.

Diversion???
Do we have any applicable examples of something like this? This would be a ton of manpower to waste on some sort of diversion…and to what end?

Teslas are "cyber cars". I think they're online via Starlink 24/7. Their cameras are always working.
They used them to catch people vandalizing them and dealerships, when all that was going on.

It takes time to get evidence results back from labs, from what I understand. Just my opinion, but they are likely waiting on those results.
Hopefully the FBI/Qunatico is able to get them results quickly.

Yeah, they managed to snag some pervert who broke in to steal her underwear after the original crime. I'd forgotten about that little "sting".

I hear you and I appreciate you playing devil’s advocate :) But do you actually think in this case that LE have been sitting on the house or have cameras? I hope so, but I’m not so sure.

I would hate for them to pay a fake ransom and it embolden a scammer to do it again
i think scammers are already emboldened as are kidnappers

That's a little too Hollywood for me.

I think it's one of Nancy's, and they previously didn't remove it for some reason. It better be a good reason.

Trump suggests “some things" could be coming from DOJ or FBI on Nancy Guthrie case​


President Donald Trump seemed to suggest on Friday that “some things” could be coming from the Justice Department or the FBI in the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

“We have some things, I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon, from DOJ or FBI, or whoever, that could be, could be definitive. A lot has taken place in the last couple of hours. A lot of things have happened with regard to that horrible situation in the last couple of hours,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The president posted on Truth Social earlier this week that he is “deploying all resources” to find “TODAY” anchor Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother.

Asked about the federal support, Trump said, “I think we’re doing very well on that regard,” adding, “Very well meaning we have some clues, I think that are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up.”

Trump did not elaborate further as to what exactly those developments could be.


That's not a very responsible thing to say. It gives whoever committed this crime a head's up to flee.
No offense but he is the last person I would tell evidence to in this case, sometimes he talks before he thinks. I am not into politics so it is nothing with him being President, I am just remembering him in the past on tv, lol.

Agree! It could have been planned release of crime scene.

Trump can't keep his mouth shut. They should not tell him or the sheriff anything.
You said what I was too afraid to say fully lol

I was looking for information about who was at the game night and/or dinner at the sister's (AG's) house.
Who were the last to see Nancy in person besides family ?
Not sure if it's significant, but if it was a MahJong game, for instance, it requires at least four players.
I have a reason for wondering, but wanted to see if anyone had more information about Nancy's final hours.
Tia.
Imo.
You can play Mahjong with 2 players, and even 3 (Siamese mahjong or use a ghost player)

I want to know if maybe he was even trained on what to say specifically from the FBI for this investigation.

I deleted my original post because I didn't realize it is Fox News.

I must say that Trump's comments are concerning. His comments seem more like it could be someone closer to Nancy. I hope that is not the case. I truly do.

I have been on the fence. I truly believe it is possible that she was kidnapped and still think that could be an option until told otherwise.

The house is older and was probably considered pretty remote when it was built. Maybe the small structure is a well house?

The context is that the Senator's daughter was kidnapped. She goes on TV to make a plea for the person to return her daughter, and goes out of her way to humanize her to the kidnapper by saying that and other things about her.

ETA: I got to this comment of mine and realized my profile has a Silence of the Lambs quote, ha. May have seen it once or twice. 🙃
Yes thank you, it was in the context of a kidnapping story line in the movie. I still think it is quite odd to use a quote from a movie about a serial killer when talking to the person who has abducted your mother. There are other ways to humanize the victim. I am assuming the FBI gave some tips on how to handle communication and that is one I cannot figure out.

What if it was hooked into the area the perps planned to hold NG and could receive a transmission when proof of life was requested?

I have zero tech skills so don't have any idea if they could transmit video to a "card" that LE could then access. In olden times a newspaper with date easily visible was used to establish time and proof of life.
