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.

I agree, I don't think this looks like the SIL. At the same time, LE is spending an awful lot of time looking at AG's house, asking businesses near AG for video, and talking to a lot of AG's neighbors. If they were pretty sure it wasn't SIL then I am sure they have better things they could be doing.

I wasn't on this bandwagon, but I am starting to get onboard.

i wonder if LE going door to door to see if anyone is holed up inside a house after releasing the images to the public ?

Observing those who answer as well as others present, and any photos of family and friends displayed.

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.

I mean absent other exculpatory evidence, doesn't LE generally always go back to who saw the person last? And if they didn't find anything else,and SIL didn't do anything, it could be, imo a real concern that this is what they will go back to focusing on regardless, b/c with the publicity especially they need to close this case

My husband agrees with you. Says it looks like either inner holster / holster for larger gun you may find at a ranch.

Could it hold a taser or are we certain it was a gun?

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?

The zipper goes through it; it's part of the jacket

 

[LRinCA]

Maybe it appeared unguarded but wasn’t? Perhaps they were hoping the perp would return? Something to consider…

Definitely!

And there was an Amazon package left in the doorway later. May mean nothing.

What do you mean? Clothing?

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

Exactly...

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.

Foreign purchase? Maybe made in say Switzerland and sold there? Something along that line?

I think they put a piece of tape over the stripe. I have been searching the internet for a jacket like that, and I can’t find it.

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

well they would get it eventually and could probably borrow against the estate. also wonder if AG would be the sole recipient of the house, due to her sister and brother being far more financially set. mOO

This comes after somebody ordered pizza and the delivery man was seen going up to Nancy Guthrie’s door to try and deliver. Was believed to be for media outside.

@PimaSheriff


We can’t believe we have to say this, but media on scene: please do not order food delivery to a crime scene address. This interferes with an active investigation. Please also respect private property laws. Thank you.

This is the time to (a) install security, regardless of how rudimentary it is (b) convince elderly parents to give in to the necklace/alert device - many resist and it might have saved Nancy in this situation (c) buy stock in Ring and/or Google

MOO/IMO

 

[Cottonn]

It definitely appears the perp came well prepared but prepared for what? Police haven't disclosed anything taken? That's what makes this so odd? Why remove someone alive or dead from home when identity hidden, gloves etc. it seems officials have declared the ransom communication a dead end possibly someone interjecting themselves like the one in Cali they arrested. So what was motive behind this?

 

[Leilei]

i don't think he is alone

I'm behind on comments due to life life-ing right now, but I've been looking for a vehicle in those photos and video. It can't be far away. It's not like he could walk that poor woman down the street to a waiting car. I wasn't able to see a vehicle, but maybe someone here has.
Or, maybe there are pics of it that haven't been released yet.
IMO.

 

[Fromeaster]

Other officers are checking garages and asking if neighbors have left any premises unlocked.

More proof that we are ALWAYS being watched

 

[Bobban]

Jacket looks like some knock-off nike air tech jacket. Looks like a star logo by the backpacks strap, doesn't look like an exact match but the Dallas Cowboys nike jacket looks pretty similair.

 

[Nikynoo]

Looks like the headlights of 2 vehicles

Do you mean the lights in this image? If so, I think they are lights from the property opposite.

at that point, they may as well wait for NG to pass naturally. in some places, it can take five years for insurance to pay out on a missing person. not sure about the timeline for inheritance. why take such a massive risk if it won't pay off right away? but on the other hand, desperate people don't act rationally.
