I have to say, if Nancy is somehow alive and still being held hostage (which I hope is true, but still think is unlikely), all of this leaking about swat teams and elite hostage rescue teams seems like an awful idea. Why give the person holding her advance warning of a coming rescue attempt?

FWIW this is also how crypto thieves can access your main account. I have had small random deposits made into my account. I was instructed by the brokerage to absolutely not accept them.
Yeah hacking a crypto wallet is big business these days, so many people are unaware of the risks

Praying that NG is found alive. I just have a feeling something's going to break tonight when we're all asleep..

Wondering if the release of the photos was to scare the perp/get them to make moves or flee.

Hearing about a blackhawk helicopter near the homes but FBI teams about 90 mins SE of Tucson.. possibly near mountains?
Just U.S Army doing training in the mountains. Highly doubt it's related. I work on black hawks and nothing stood out to me. Also Black hawk really has no use in a situation like this.

FBI Hostage Rescue Team on the ground in Tucson now...

I believe they only did a $300 deposit to test if the transaction would go through, this is very common with bitcoin transactions especially when you plan to send a huge sum after that!

I am kinda stuck on they keep going back to Annie's house-- I don't know what to think about this except that she and her husband are suspects.
Speculation that does not implicate the family: If the kidnapper is a neighbor or acquaintance of a family member, they may have known NG would be there that evening and followed the car taking NG home.

Her address could be found rather easily on online public databases like property and voting records. But many people aren't good at research. They rely on Google, which may not provide complete or accurate information. So following the family member driving NG would be a way to find where she lives.

Not saying I think that's what happened. Just a reason for LE to search the properties around AG's house.

I’m watching CNN and just saw the photo of the suspect without the backpack, gun and eyes covered. I wonder when this was? Anyone able to find the pic to link? I have a screenshot from my TV.

So is the theory that there was someone waiting in a getaway car off camera? Nancy couldn't walk very far, apparently.

BREAKING: New activity has been recorded in the cryptocurrency wallet tied to the alleged abductor(s) of Nancy Guthrie.We can confirm at least one transaction was made around 5 p.m. Arizona time on Tuesday to the Bitcoin address that detailed in the ransom note sent to KOLD.

We are not disclosing the amount that was sent at this time.

Former Navy Seal commander Dan O’Shea discussed the decision to release the footage in an interview with Sky News Australia this morning.

He said releasing the footage so publicly was a risk, but one that could help to flush out the suspect.

“This ups the game… he knows he has a target on his back and he’s in a desperate situation,” O’Shea said.

“Let’s hope this puts pressure on this individual to let her go and try and sneak away.”

O’Shea also argued that the release of the footage reveals how desperate the authorities must be, as they are willing to show the suspect that they have footage that could help identify them.

O’Shea said that, based on the footage, the suspect appears to beobviously a man... he looks like he’s over 200 pounds (90kg).

Authorities said today that the images from the security camera had been “previously inaccessible.”

Dan O'Shea really knows what he's talking about having worked many, many hostage situation in the Middle East, primarily Iraq

I don't typically post so I apologize in advance if this question has been asked and answered... Is anyone familiar with the type of vegetation the perp pulled out and whether or not it has any prickles on it? I ask because I'm curious if the gloves worn by the perp may have been punctured. Thank you.
Lantana. No prickles. But great question.

I was right. It

It's always felt to me that he wasn't using the flowers to cover the doorbell cam because he didn't get them before approaching, and with all in that backpack he could have brought something that actually worked to cover it, like duct tape. Plus, you have to admit some flowers is NOT a very good camera block.

With all that said... it just feels to me like he was holding them out for the camera to capture them. Why? Absolutely NO clue. Only he knows why he did that. But, it feels to me like there was a purpose (other than trying to block the lens).

Maybe part of his communication to the family, that only he'd know, is "I held out flowers to the camera". That way LE knew they had the right guy that was communicating thru the ransom letters. It took a while before those images were released so that very well could be what the purpose of holding them up would be.

JMO!!!
Then why didnt he just leave the camera mounted?

This is an interesting theory. Maybe the FBI is attempting to break into the account to see there is any identifiable details.
