Which brings up a point.

I assume that SG's position is coveted by many.

To add to all our list of potential "groups of suspect"

Imagine this. What if one time, SG could not visit in person, and sent someone, own helper, to organize things for mom? Renovation of the house, money, help with the Internet. It happens with loving but busy kids with large families.

Now assuming that "the person" now has the information about NG's life and can organize bitcoins out of the country and what not. Specifically because they are off the radar.

If they are lucky, they may be looking for a free anchorperson's job. On the other hand, if SG perseveres and stays she may be enjoying more support of her audience.

I think that probably, AG and her circle has been studied. And also, local LEO in Tucson know Tucson.

But is it too much to look at at someone secretly hating or being envious of SG or even her brother CG, obviously, an achiever in his area, who is close to them?

I mean, there is a particular news anchor who got shafted in 2012 by ML and SG took over from her, but that would be in the realm of fantasy to think she had anything to do with this

Here's the Harvey Levin interview:

 

[thefragile7393]

The top hit I get is investigative reporters and media journalist. Then

The first part of the query I got "This is most often a digitally fluent adult who blends high-agency online skills with mainstream cultural consumption, values privacy, and doesn’t see a contradiction between gossip and technical competence."

I got a ton of hits on the second part, and nothing creepy. The top ones were cybersecurity professionals, software developers, and IT. Then those dealing with finances, trading, and then down the road investigative journalists, intelligence-adjacent researchers, Academic or independent researchers.

I think I"ll just stick to using Chat GPT to do my powerpoint formatting at this point lol and not for much else necessarily

Did I read NG’s cane was left at her home or did I dream that? TIA

Don’t you hate that? they feel so real sometimes too. I had one about the ransom note being cut out of newspaper words.
maybe she had both. A cane and a walker? I wouldnt do stairs if I needed either.

I’ve included this pic to show NG’s front door. IMO it’s much more work for her to negotiate those steps leading up to her door, especially considering she is sad to walk with a cane. So, going through the garage makes sense, to me.
moo

Great observation, @slowpoke

Shows you how the difference in photos can dramatically alter your perspective.

The garage door is oriented 90 from the angle of the front door. I also do not seen a direct flat route from the garage door to the front door. So, she would have to go up or down those stairs (with the noted handrail) to get from the front door to the garage, or visa versa from the gravel driveway.

I get the impression she would not have used the front door, if at all, and only people approaching the house from the street would be using it. If the front door was "open" when the family arrived to check on her on Sunday, then the kidnapper likely used this as the exit, not the garage.

Makes the issue of surveillance from the street important.

Of course I see now how she would enter and exit the home through the garage

Here is the first press conf where they talk about the call from the church member at around 11:50 it begins

We look for odd things / behavior
This says to me what's going on here?

Didn't law enforcement also say 'everyone' is being looked at? No questions are off the table.

The thought that NG was murdered to get to the funds in her estate seems poorly thought out, especially if there is this complicated ruse to make this look like a kidnap for ransom. Having recently been through the death of my mother and the settlement of her estate, it takes YEARS to get the full funds disbursement, even with very the very good planning my late mother had done.

Assuming the home is NG's primary asset, selling it can be quite a long process, and usually a good realtor will recommend upgrades to bring the property up to date, improve it's appearance, and make it competitive in a market. People who are buying $1 million + homes do expect contemporary styling, appliances, and features and you can really lose out by just trying for a quick sale. I suppose it also depends on who really ends up with control of the estate, and my guess would be that SG would have more authority in terms of organizing the settlement of the full estate, and the three apparent heirs.

In otherwords, murdering NG to get a lot of money is not a quick and easy way to get money.

My dad's estate took just a few months to settle, including real estate, because he had a trust. If NG has sizable assets, she would likely have it all in trust as well. Maybe the timing has a lot to do with the state the deceased lived in? Sorry for your loss - it's just so hard.

Yes, seeing the actual photo of the smashed flood light is alarming. It was hit so hard with an object the brick is even damaged. When there were initial reports of a broken flood light, I was picturing just a non-working light or maybe a broken light lens or cover. Not completely smashed in like that. Clearly intentional and not an accident.

View attachment 642467

How hard would you have to hit this light to cause this kind of damage? What kind of size and strength level would you have to cause this damage? How high from the ground is the light?

 

[Walela]

Did NG have housekeepers and/or nurses who visited her regularly?

Surely she had someone that came in and cleaned. Baseboards are very very difficult to clean when you're not agile....so are blinds, carpets and floors.

 

[thefragile7393]

Harvey Levin was interviewed on CNN today and HE thinks the perp is still in the area of the home, in the same town I mean.

that seems to be IMO the most logical conclusion

I remember the same. The cane was left behind.

Could this have happened during the thought to be recent work sealing the roof?

From a piece of equipment being pulleyed up?


All imo

The top hit I get is investigative reporters and media journalist.

Since news outlets received these emails, I can only imagine the number of “insiders” who got to know what exactly was written in them. “Office gossip” gets around quick, especially in this case. Unless they’re “sworn to secrecy”. MOO

 

[thefragile7393]

Because he runs TMZ and he read the note.

piggybacking off your comment, the note was sent to TMZ so yeah, of course he's going to go with it.

 

[unresolvedmystery]

Any thoughts on why the second communication didn't go to TMZ and the NBC local affiliate, it only went to KOLD?

Maybe they are becoming afraid they will be traced so are limiting who and how many they send out?

Nancy Grace reports that the cane was left at home. Haven’t seen confirmation elsewhere.

Some flood lights have cameras. Also, if her flood lights are motion detected, the perp wouldn't want them going off and on while they were smashing cameras. Yesterday when they were looking on the main roof and on the ground, I thought maybe they were looking for rocks that didn't belong there. Maybe the perp was throwing rocks to knock out a camera/flood light that was difficult to disable?

I don't think rocks did that kind of damage. It looks more like something like a wrecking bar or baseball bat. You can see on the brick where a concentrated force came in contact with it, if you ask me.

 

[HoveringWombats]

I think this is a reasonable question. I've definitely had damage along those lines done by tree crews with their ropes dangling down around the house. If there truly was recently roofing work done, it's conceivable that this kind of thing could have happened then.

Any chance she heard that smashing and came out to check? I mean I would never come out but when was that smashing of the cameras done? The camera showed signs of a person once right?
