Seriously, why was the crime scene immediately opened with the blood still there and the weeds the perp touched still littered everywhere? This entire thing has been mystifying.

I’ve been thinking a lot about this. I wonder if maybe they were hoping the perpetrator would return to the scene and they had it under careful surveillance the whole time?

How about the eyebrows? Any similarity?

The jacket worn looks to not have a collar or cuffs, a distinctive strip across the chest and piping along the zipper. I have looked at literally hundreds of men’s jackets and athletic tops on Amazon and have not come across even one that is similar. So maybe that jacket could be easily recognized by someone that knows this person.

There are thin cuffs on the jacket. They can be seen on other photos, too. It looks like a fleece jacket. I have Columbia fleece jackets that look just like this, including a strip across the chest. I’m not suggesting it’s a Columbia jacket but is a very common looking jacket to me.

If it’s not SIL, it feels like it may be someone associated with him? That doesn’t necessarily mean SIL is involved.

I said this a few days ago but to me SIL and/or people around him seemed like the logical choice to start suspecting. He saw her last. Dropped her off. Knew she would be home. Possible $$$ motive?

Also, he hasn't really shown up on any videos or interviews that I have seen since this all took place. Which is kind of odd if you ask me. Remember the past disappearings where the actual person who did it gave all kinds of interviews when in reality he/she was the actual person who did it? And when looking back you can tell how strange they were talking/acting in those videos?

Perhaps, if it is someone from the SIL circle who did this, they learned from that and decided it was better to just stay out of the limelight.

Agree his legs looked really stiff. Fit, but 30s, 40s.

I am still thinking about this....the stiff leg bend over may also happen if he had multiple layers of clothes on to look larger than he really is.

Also, what do people think of a beard under the mask(s)? The neck looks really thick to me like a large, droopy double chin. I think I saw someone else post about a beard too..

Unless someone needs money NOW and really can’t wait.

If she is killed it would likely take a long time to settle the estate. It would be simpler to wait it out. Not saying it isn't possible but it would be incredibly short sighted for someone to make this plan.

 

[kirsa]

I know people have speculated it was the son in law but the person from the new footage doesn’t appear to have hooded lids. The SIL does. Just an observation.

 

[birdbox]

OR....it's an intentional fugazi? hired fall guy and this wasn't a robbery/home invasion at all?
sounds far fetched i know but if a man can harbor extreme anger after not being with a woman for close to 10 years to the point of going out of his way to kill her and her husband, i don't know if anything is too far fetched anymore.

IMO he's not acting like he actually wants to get in the house. he covers the camera with his hand but doesn't actually smash/remove it? seems to be taking his time? something ain't computing

moo

Oh now, that's a twist.

Yeah I thought that was EXTREMELY odd. Beyond odd. Made no sense to me.

but you won't get money immediately from inheritance/insurance without a body.

 

[MassGuy]

Now we wait to see the story told by the other camera (s).

Now they are in that house with the trailer in the yard.

They've been there much longer than other neighbors.

 

[Baby baby Jane]

To me, this video gives a better sense of his height and he doesn't look so stocky.

Hoping they release estimates on height, shoe size …. As there are clear grids on the pavers and walls for good estimates.

To add — those mouth lights usually make the wearer drool a bit, talking not so easy, may need to be removed or handled by the gloves … am hoping that they have found some spittle or glove-transfer drool with DNA.

Thirdly … why try to block camera with leaves? This seems unprepared … a glove over it, smashing, a sticker?

 

[LRinCA]

Looks like an Amazon delivery guy?

I think he looks like one of the solar salespeople scammers. I mentioned them in a post above. I don't mean to imply that all solar salespeople are scammers, but in our neighborhood (55+ Arizona) we have scammers who approach re: solar and also pest control.

 

[Chimera]

The issue as I see it with a random perp committing a burglary or worse ... why take Nancy with them ?
Makes no sense.
Even if she was killed at her home, why take the added risk of removing her ?
That's why I'm leaning towards someone known to her and not a robbery or a SA.
LE are going to do a thorough investigation for a murder, but the pace would be doubled for an elderly woman who may still be alive and in need of rescuing .
Imo.

 

[birdbox]

Yeah I thought that was EXTREMELY odd. Beyond odd. Made no sense to me.

The only reason I can think of them opening it is if family insisted to look around themselves to see what's off about the place. Maybe they have to formally turn it back over to allow say Savannah to have a look around?

 

[NonnaBalogna]

To kill a person, then put them in a body bag so that they could be moved without leaving evidence everywhere. But the blood on the front patio might not fit this scenario.

I’m many pages behind but I have been thinking about your suggestion. I think it was a good one. Maybe the blood trail is so confusing because he dropped it like that. Would it be difficult to stage blood? When was the last time NG had blood drawn? Is that a large amount of blood? What types of injuries bleed like that or spatter like that? Maybe he just sliced a finger or something I’ve possibly read that NG was on blood thinners? My mom and took very little to bleed like a sieve.

Re-looking at photos of jacket: could that black strip across his chest actually be part of the backpack? I’ve never seen that before, but if it is, what would be the purpose of a strap that high on his chest?

 

[amandab]

Perp looks to have smallish feet, imo

Tattoo on wrist.
