No. Why hasn't SG husband been seen begging for NG's safe return. MOO

YES ^^^^^ This!!!!

Regardless of who is the culprit, the motive is likely financial.

Agreed 100 %.
Ita.

If you are correct, how does the kidnap letter writer know about the exact special placement of the Apple Watch?

If the letter said the watch was charging at her bedside, that hardly seems like special placement, it seems like a guess (potentially) that would be correct for 99% of Apple Watch wearers. MOO

Probably because he’s at home taking care of their kids and trying to maintain their privacy and security. It’s not like Grandma can babysit them.

Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that LE has 2 priorities: find the missing person, and legally obtain evidence leading to a successful prosecution of the perpetrator(s). Part of the rules of engagement include that LE can withhold information, tell false information including lies, and/or mislead parties as investigative methods while searching for the truth. These can NOT be done by the prosecutor in prosecuting the criminal charges. There, the suspect, who is presumed innocent, has the right to the truth and any withholding of information, lies, or misdirection may well lead to charges being set aside, a mistrial, a successful appeal of a conviction, etc. Just my thoughts, fwiw.

I'm not sure LE can lie. Even so, it would be horrible practice. Withholding information and claiming they dont know things/don't have a suspect is one thing. But putting out lies would not only give the defense ammunition in court - but leads to false tips and a confused public.

I think because the family has been seen by some but TC hasn’t been seen since last Tuesday. The tweet from BE is upthread.

do you have a link to the rest of the family being seen?

Knowing where they are and actually seeing them is different IMO I would be shocked if no one snapped a pic, as they did last week.

 

[Chimera]

Why would someone think he’s not with the rest of the family?

I was responding to an earlier post. ^^^^

That is quite the outrageous statement to make, at this point in the investigation.

Any proof ? Referring to it as clickbait? How do ?

Brian Entin’s latest live tonight included an interview with rettired FBI agent. He said in his opinion, if they were suspects, the FBI would have obtained warrants prior to doing anything in the home. Full stop …

Makes sense to me.

I don't think the FBI has even been back to AG/TC's home. On Friday night it was the Sheriff's dept.

Are Police Allowed to Lie During an Investigation?

Police are legally permitted to use deception in an investigation, but clear constitutional lines exist. Learn the rules that define these important limits.

My opinion...my heart goes out to the family! SG's video today seemed less scripted. Which makes me think either it's been proven the ransom letters were fake or they sent money and are just praying for the best. Her demeanor seemed like she was not being controlled by a narrative. Trying to explain my thoughts and i hope it makes sense.
Where's Nancy?? Praying for answers for her family and holding on to the hope that she is ok

 

[Luna20]

Why in the world did LE not clarify this days ago! They could see it was fueling rumors.

Right! LE said this at the first PC and I guess they felt like they didn’t need to clarify it.

 

[nycpizzaparty]

LE has been pretty obvious about their searches of AG/TC house. I think today there was a notice that they might be searching at AG/TC house tonight which struck me as kind of strange. I feel like LE is putting on a bit of a show to try to agitate someone or some people while the general public is watching this same show. That is a ton of pressure on their targets. I can't imagine the tension.

 

[cady]

is he even there? lol

The only times I have seen the family have been on SG's instagram. Reportedly, TC is with the siblings but there is no reason for him to be seen on those.....they were pleas from NG's children. He probably IS with them (and the child, I hope. ) JMO

 

[shadowsc]

I don't love all these former FBI guys going on tv and saying "oh a bitcoin account can be traced and found" !!!! Like.... aren't you supposed to at least let the bad guys believe it's impossible and then.... catch them??? Not openly say you can catch someone that way in the midst of a kidnapping with a ransom??? oy.

 

[gitana1]

Anything is possible, but the LE concentration on them is typical of not being able to rule them out. That suggests digital footprints and alibi aren't readily available for either of them.

Couple that with some of the financial entanglements they have with NG and it begins to look like motive.

What financial entanglements do they have?

 

[TheDinks]

I only remember one time hearing LE outright publicly clear someone because of major public suspicion - in the Idaho 4 case, Kaylee’s ex-boyfriend (maybe Kaylee & Maddie’s driver that night too?). BK wasn’t even a suspect at the time he was publicly cleared. I say that, because while I’m sure there are other cases it has happened in, publicly clearing someone is not the norm.

And this is far from a normal case. The fact that there was supposed LE leak on a media broadcast that TC may be Prime Suspect which was then followed up on Megyn Kelly followed by absolute INTENSE public accusations about him... that would be my reason for making an exception (as in I4 case) to state something publicly, if possible to do so.

I'd never expect it in normal cases, obviously...but the wild accusations about him, wife, accomplices etc are out of control. If innocent... this is dire!

Have there been any sightings of the rest of the family or their partners, other than the videos they put out?

 

[Friday Fan]

And POTUS stated early on that he was making All Federal LE available in this case. Trump says he's "deploying all resources" to get Savannah Guthrie's mom Nancy home

That doesn't make sense because they are in other parts of the country.

OMG!! That's just absurd. Maybe her friend was really scared and begged them not to talk about it... I don't know. there's no rhyme or reason. I saw the interview with her friend from the book club, but I didn't think she said anything about church. I wonder how she was supposed to get to the friend's house?
And I'm wondering if Annie or t knew she had plans that morning.
