Did anyone else find the still shots of the person to be terrifying, but the video to be almost bumbling?

My thoughts exactly

John Miller CNN: The placement of the gun is not where anybody would normally carry a gun. It's actually more of an advantage to the person being confronted, because of the potential it can be grabbed (in general).

Possible that he put it there so she would see the gun, and he could use it to control her. Speculates it could potentially be a prop gun (fake).

That's what a guy on CNN said; usually they would bring a can of spray paint and paint over the camera

I literally cannot believe what I saw. The perp pulls a bunch of Lantana and puts it on the camera to block the view? WTH? I thought to myself, where's his damn can of spray paint?

What does this tell us?

Screaming. Who is it?

I have a cheapo cam from Walmart called Geeni and I do not have a subscription. We have it in our house to check on our dog. It is set to motion notification and it screenshots every so many minutes. I can scroll back through many days of screenshot without a subscription. If I put a memory card in the camera, I could have video as well. We had a water pipe burst and we were out of town and I happened to check on the dog and then the live feed to see water pouring in our kitchen. We were 70 miles away from home. I was able to scroll back to see what time it started.

Yes my dh has set up some like this and he can go back a few frames. I have the same type also set up but without sd card.I use it more observationally, if I want to see a delivery, check something on way back etc.

It wasn’t a ring camera - it was a nest - a google nest - and google is the “tech” company that helped - make sense they could help with their own equipment. As for not finding her being dropped off - she entered via garage and nest camera on front door couldn’t see the garage door..

Who said she entered via the garage? If she was dropped at home by her SIL why wouldn't she go through the front door? Seems a lot more trouble to open a garage door than a front door. IMO.

We know she has used the front door because her blood spatter was found there. And even if she did enter through the garage there should still be evidence of a vehicle pulling up to the house and swinging into the driveway. I can't imagine letting an 84 year old woman with limited mobility walk from the road and get herself into the house via the garage. She isn't the kind of person you just 'drop off'. In the released video you can see the the walkway and the road so a vehicle would have activated the camera.

Sorry the post was deleted. I was trying to find the video released from Pima County. There was a trespassing report from an elderly man back in January near the home. The video was interesting. I am going to try to find a verified link of it.

I’m trying to find it also.

BREAKING: SWAT & Bomb Squads are now responding to an area about 10 minutes from Nancy Guthrie's house. This comes after less than $300 was deposited in the alleged ransom Bitcoin account.

This is a good point... They have the garage opening times, but wouldn't the car be visible on these cameras if she was dropped off? Headlights at the very least. Either something is rotten in the state of Denmark or we're missing key info.

My Nest wouldn’t catch it. I’ve actually looked when people leave. I can only get my porch and sidewalk in the view.

Others have touched on this but this may describe easily why $300 was sent to the ransom crypto wallet- it keeps being brought up so maybe this will explain it in simple terms:

Asking AI why $300 was transferred. Here's the reasoning behind why this specific small scale makes sense:


• In real-world kidnapping/extortion cases involving cryptocurrency, authorities (FBI, private blockchain firms like Chainalysis, or crypto recovery experts) routinely send tiny amounts of Bitcoin—often called "dust" or test sends—to the suspect wallet address.


• This is not part of paying the ransom.


• It's done to confirm control of the address (i.e., prove it's live and monitored by someone).


• More importantly, it tags the wallet on the public blockchain, making any future larger movements easier to trace and link back through mixers, exchanges, or cash-out points.


• $300 is a typical range for these probes:


• It's small enough to be inexpensive (Bitcoin fees are low for tiny txs) and not mistaken for a real partial ransom payment.


• It's large enough to stand out from true "dust" spam (fractions of a cent) that clutters many wallets, so analysts can clearly identify it as intentional activity.


• In high-profile cases under heavy public and law enforcement scrutiny, anything larger would risk confusing the situation or alerting the recipient prematurely.

I’m only in my 60s but it’s been a while since I’ve reliably been asleep at any time of night. Post menopausal insomnia is a thing. Wouldn’t count on anyone being asleep.

Ambien for many

What does this tell us?

It tells us we know how to black out a camera?
