Does anyone know whether the ransom deadline is EST or PST?

Unless someone was banging on the door saying “ Nancy it’s ……,open the door !!!”

See my previous post. Disagree.

If any of the family members were involved with fabricating the ransom note, how would any of them "slip away" from LE scrutiny to be able to send the second note (or post on the comment sections of an APP).. you would think they are being digitally watched by LE with hacking software.

 

[RayVon]

thank you for that

Just a thought: Intruders may have entered house from the back and carried her out the front door.
Did house have a safe?

Yesterday on her podcast, The Nerve, Maureen Callahan was discussing Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance with Ashleigh Banfield.

Maureen said she read that the blood drops on the porch had been tested and the blood came from Nancy. Also that there was sputum mixed with it, that suggested it had come from her mouth or nose (as opposed to a cut on her arm, say).

The claim that there was sputum in the blood appears to be secondhand -- something that Maureen Callahan read. I don't think we know where she read it.

I gather that "sputum" means thick mucus from the lungs, which might be expected if NG had a nosebleed or was spitting blood out of her mouth. This is certainly possible, but we don't know it for sure.

Assuming she was bleeding from her nose or mouth, another question is why the pattern of the blood on the stoop implies that it went straight down, rather than splashing on NG's clothes first. It's possible that she was bent over. That could be for a variety of reasons: Maybe she normally bends over her cane. Maybe the kidnapper was holding her. Maybe she was doubled over in pain. As some have suggested, the bleed could've happened earlier, under some different circumstance.

AG setting up “alibi”, why she went to NG’s house, “ discovered” NG missing.
AG got caught in a lie, red flag for LE.

Maybe just technically incorrect sloppy writing? It should probably say "the victim's family said a friend of N.G. contacted them on the morning of Feburary 1st to say..."

Thank you so much for posting the document! IMO, JMO, MOO, whoever drafted this document was merely following the original timeline provided by PCSO. At the time of writing, likely it was the most current information, and trusted to be correct.

Ultimately, I don’t think, IMO, it has any bearing on the complaint itself, and doesn’t invalidate the complaint. I just don’t think, IMO, this document is proof that a churchgoer called the family. (We don’t have proof to the contrary, either!)

IF the families involved there has to be others. Makes no sense to me otherwise. If there’s others involved it’s definitely premeditated.

 

[RayVon]

But what prompted AG to go to NGs house?

Maybe she regularly checks on her mom- especially if she is alone at night.

Seems the sheriff has led us astray regarding the pacemaker and communications with the iphone or watch. After reading what many WSers have provided about their own pacemakers, it seems that the pacemaker will make an attempt to communicate with iphone/watch just one time per day to download data, it is not a constant monitoring situation.

Thus, the timing of the iphone message is not indicative of when she actually went missing.

All just my opinion after reading many WSer experiences.

Does anyone know whether the ransom deadline is EST or PST?

Likely Mountain Time, where AZ is located.

 

[Starkville]

NG has been described as sharp as a tack. There’s no way I see NG opening that door after 10pm unless she absolutely knew who was on the other side.

What if she absolutely knew who was on the other side? (Just asking for argument’s sake.)

 

[SaraSmile]

Have they changed the deadline? The last I read it was still at 5pm today.

Not sure how investigators will handle, if deadline is missed. Maybe message on KOHN station. “please be patient, we are getting $”. I don’t think they need another family video RN.

 

[Starkville]

I have wondered if someone did fake AI voices of family members?

Oh, interesting.

And how would they know what the family members sound like?

Savannah’s voice would be easy because she was on TV every day. The others? Hmmm.

 

[BUF]

JMO but I think the timeline issues/changes are due to the sheriff releasing some information initially before verifying it….like the call from the church person saying NG was not there.

As far as SG sending in that crypto payment for this Monday deadline….I don’t know if we will hear about it until way later.

Oh, interesting.

Her mom has appeared with Savannah on tv.

if BIL TC is involved there are others that actually were there that night. I have never thought he was the one himself to take her.I think she is either right in the immediate area or might be over the Mexican border. Border is tight but has gaps as outlined to BE by. a former border control person.

I’ve mentioned that I live in NG’s neighborhood. Several people here as well as folks I know who live close to main roads, even outside of this neighborhood, had LE visits over the weekend. They want footage from any cameras facing these main roads: Oracle road and 1st Ave are the two I can personally confirm.

My doubts about the ransom notes are increasing.
