What is there for Bad Bunny to care or not care about? The Super Bowl is being held in California and has nothing to do with a kidnapping in Arizona. very strange comment.

It's not strange if you look at the comment that was being replied to. A poster asked if this was a distraction from the super bowl performance tomorrow. The person I replied to said this could be an idea and asked who was performing. I answered the question.

Agree. It does sound like they're just asking for her body to be returned, and feel she may not be alive any longer.

But it seems like the kidnapper is relishing torturing the family so much that they may refuse to disclose what they did to Nancy or return her. I just hope the FBI can figure out who they are soon, and what they may have done to her.

Tucson area has a lot of old mines. It would have been easy to take her there, and deep. MOO.

Maybe the planes will find the many immigrant bodies in the Sonoran Desert.

I want to believe I felt dire hope from the family in the last video.

This happened in my neighborhood about 90 years ago. Predates my life, but not my 1899 Victorian home!

Wow that's nuts. It always amazes me how they were able to solve cases like that back then. Just good old fashioned detective work.

Fortunately, true kidnapping for ransom involving low-risk people has fallen off a cliff thanks to modern technology.

You don’t know if money was in fact paid before the first deadline.

Actually 100% agree - I think it’s possible, even likely, the family paid the first ransom prior to the Thursday deadline.

The 'with her' was odd to our ears, but the whole vid, minus their faces and demeanor together , 'as one' on the couch, did seem pointed words were very carefully used. You know the FBI has coached each word as they do in these situations. It is keeping communication open, aligning themselves with the abductor with 'understanding'. Bowing while in such pain, to them. This is for a reason as well of course to please have their mother sent back that they 'will pay for'. Brutal. Don't know if this will 'fool' the monster to do as asked, paid of course. They let a woman die, a human being who belonged to a loving family. IMO

Your last line really got me

 

[SaraSmile]

Yes exactly....it's what I meant by my saying that they wish to lay her to rest and be close to their mom.
Awful to think they could never know where she is if not returned.

So sad

 

[WMH22]

This case is so crazy sad. I really hate the world we live in now. People are so evil and hateful- hard to have much hope for the future. I feel so bad for the family.

I have thought about this too. I have a dear friend whos father (a bit younger than NG) is regularly getting scammed into sending bitcoin to random people. At one point he was convinced he was communicating to/sending bitcoin to Shania Twain. I’m not saying that’s what I really think happened here, but I have thought about it because it does happen and it’s horrible!

Oh geeze! It really is horrible. I'm so incredibly thankful that my 71 y/o mom can see through all of that. We laugh when artists like "Pitbull" and "Ed Sheeran" follow her on Instagram.

I have to say that I am unfortunately feeling like the family is asking for her body to be returned because of the line „this is the only way we‘ll have peace“.

Or because paying ( and knowing they did everything they asked for) is the only way they will feel peace?
Hard to even say that given the situation. More like no regrets?

 

[Heaven Leigh]

I agree with so many of you that NG has passed. Imo, she didn't live much after being taken or she passed at her home.
I think it was someone that knew her or been to her home before. I guess i don't think this was random. Why? I can't figure out. Ransom note and kidnapping an 84 year old is so odd that its hard for me to to believe. Its like someone watched to many movies to even think they would have gotten away with getting money and then trade for an alive NG. Not all criminals are smart but this is out there.
Im so sorry to her family.

Yes, every word and movement calculated. The avoidance of eye contact this time around as evidenced by all 3 purposefully looking downward was very telling. Yes, their emotion was real but the downward eyes of all 3 multiple times was almost mechanical as if to be very apparent on purpose.

 

[Bluewing3102]

Anyone know why the family seemingly post these instagram videos around dinner time? Think there's any significance in that?

They mean, the Super Bow is a national sport event. National, regardless where it is held, which is California. I assume the original commenter meant to 'spring' the big 'reveal' during that.. attention. The one that said BB won't care is personal feelings on the performer IMO. None of this will be happening, just a possible explanation. Wishing comfort to the family through their strong faith.

Wow, I didn’t get that impression at all, but I’ll consider it.

It appeared to me that SG was reading a script.

 

[MadCowWisco]

i don't think family cares about encouraging bad behavior. I think they have already. paid the money...probably a lower amount for the body.

I don't agree. It's worth more at this point because they want her and have said they'll pay. Guess what? Price just went up. People are scum.

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

There have been more than 20 pages posted since I was here last, so there's no way that I can catch up before asking about responses to the earlier "Breaking News" about the family's new video. My reaction, as well as DH's, was that the ransom request is beginning to sound like extortion!

I put the transcript of the latest SG video in to ChatGPT to get an analysis of it from the viewpoint of an investigator and here is what it said, very interesting:

"Every line feels carefully chosen.

W. O. W. This is awesome. I was mystified by the verbiage in the latest video. THANK YOU for doing this. It makes perfect sense to me why those words were chosen.
