Would reflective strips be helpful if working with a partner, to be able to see each other in the dark?

I wonder if someone was behind the house while this guy was in front?

If you live in an open carry, no permit state, you see lots of scary gun positions.

That is very true. The way this gun is situated it would be a good way to lose the family jewels. Not saying that would necessarily be a bad thing considering what it appears he may have done.

He was not there to steal. Went with an already full backpack and nothing was reported missing from the home that I recall. He went there for NG because he was looking for someone who was connected enough to someone who would pay a ransom. Family stalled on ransom. (starting last week). Meanwhile, he had already murderd NG or she died. I still maintain this was a crazed stalker of SG. jmo Just now..LE seen going into AG's home.

that's where I am on this. The segments of Savannah with her mother Nancy on network TV for all to see was his inspiration to to find Nancy, case the joint then abduct her and ask for random. Only he did not know how to contact the family directly so he chose the media outlets.

Thanks for the closeup pic !

Real moustache, or a fake, though.
What does everyone think ?
How scary in hindsight.
It's like looking at a picture of the devil himself.
Imo.

Here's my $0.02.

Neatly trimmed moustache
Distinctive lips
Sturdy build, but fit
Large head
Looks like he may lean forward somewhat when walking

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach for Savannah and her siblings. To know such a frightful person is responsible for your elderly mother’s disappearance is worse than any nightmare I’ve ever had. Honestly I could cry for them. Praying for Nancy’s safe return

it is a flashlight. there are multiple shots in the videos where you can see it's being turn on and off. and it's way too bright to be a grill or anything like that.

i think it's possible that the backpack had LED safety lights on it as well, not just reflective strips.

Agreed it's not a grill. He had both a small flashlight (which you can see turned on at approach then he looks down as he walks to the door) AND obvious reflective strips on the backpack (in the typical strap placement) that are shining in the camera IR as reflective strips do. but the ones on top of the straps are elevated at a different angle so they reflect more light and I can see how they would look like lights.

He must be left handed.

 

[ldlager]

this is not what happened. Someone sent pizza to a podcaster that has been there. The ridiculous part of it was, the pizza guy was able to make it to the front door! While Sheriff's deputies were sitting right there!!! The poor pizza dude had no idea where he was.

Watched it happen and it's been talked about on tv.

But will say JMO

Good thing there wasn’t a basketball game going on, or no LE officer would have been there

Ditto
especially the large head part.

Hope we will soon have a mugshot to compare
MOO

The eyebrows just do not sit right with me. They're SO dark and thin, but also at times they don't look like eyebrows at all.

The mask is hanging over the eyebrows making then look thinner. JMO

Can I ask? Where did you find the pic in the right? The twitter link in a previous post doesn’t work for me. I can’t seem to to find it online. Thank you.

I've been wondering the same thing! I've only seen it posted here.

I saw someone earlier suggest that the flowers we noted on the doorstep in previous footage obtained by Brian Entin looked as if the flowers/plant were dispersed on the ground after the blood droplets fell meaning blood was there first then the perp on video messing with plant/flower I don't necessarily think that is so.

MOO given how lightweight the stems and leaves are they could easily have covered the blood droplets because wind or being kicked by family members or LE in their initial presence at the house after NG was reported missing.

Are you saying that the footage of the person messing with the camera was AFTER they got NG? If that’s the case, then they would have footage of her being taken out of the house dead or alive.

Sanpaku eyes, or "three whites" (sanpakugan) in Japanese, refer to
an eye appearance where the sclera (white part) is visible above or below the iris, rather than just on the sides. Originating in traditional face reading, it signifies physical or spiritual imbalance, specifically yin (below) or yang (above).

Fun fact but scleral show (medical word for the phenomenon described) can be seen for a variety of reasons; in younger people, it’s usually thyroid eye disease. I’d be sad if I had thyroid issues and people were out there thinking I had physical or spiritual imbalance lol

He had both a small flashlight (which you can see turned on at approach then he looks down as he walks to the door) AND obvious reflective strips on the backpack (in the typical strap placement) that are shining in the camera IR as reflective strips do.

i thought for sure just reflective safety strips that many backpacks have. but this post has an up close screenshot of one of the strips.

Reflective safety strip or LED safety light on front strap of backpack?

it looks more like a light to me in this picture than it does in some of the videos. kind of like it's lit from within or something? if that makes sense?

plus, it's about as bright as the flashlight when it's turned on in some shots too.

Wow, I didn't realize the entire department went to the basketball game! Dang

 

[Inthedetails]

Remember the neighbors saying they saw something? I wonder if they saw the reflective strips in the back yard?

 

[DancingMuse]

Pics are very eerie. Hopefully someone who might know the subject can identify that jacket.

this is very bad.

He must be left handed.

Looks like he could be, but gun is holstered for a right handed person.

 

[stmichael]

He must be left handed.

Why?

His holster was oriented for a right hand draw and he disabled the camera with his right hand.

LE at AG's home now - source Fox news, watching live. MOO

It’s on NewsNation now.
