POI detained in Rio Rico, now the helicopter return flight sourcing from Rio Rico? Sure hoping this is Nancy on the LifeNet!! How amazing that would be!!

JMO. Agree. They probably had the videos for some days. Releasing the videos prior to the expiration of the ransom deadline could have jeopardized NGs safety if family was thinking of paying the ransom. It’s only after SG posted the defiant video, the FBI released the suspect’s videos. JMO

Why the cloak and dagger and lie that they received them today? LE sits on photo, video evidence all the time during the course of an investigation. They wouldn’t, IMO, feel the need to “explain themselves” and claim they only received today.

It’s also been verified by people who “know enough to be annoying” (love this quote!) that this timeline for retrieving the camera data is reasonable.

Holding my breath. Another Olympics, long ago. Jim McKay coming on the air to deliver news on the Munich hostages. That’s what this feels like. Hoping for a different outcome here.

You just triggered my memory of the iconic photo of one of the terrorists standing on the balcony ... also wearing a creepy ski mask. Hoping for better news soon !!

I saw lifeflight earlier then I lost it

Current 31.58N 110.99W 4000ft 159mph

I see it headed N following Hwy 19, just entering the southern portion of Tuscon. Do you know from where it originated?

See previous posts. Orig Tucson. Went to Nogales. Headed back to Tucson.

Is there any chance that’s Nancy in the air on the way to hospital?

The person was detained in Rio Rico, Ariz., about an hour’s drive south of Tucson near the border with Mexico.

Interesting that the LifeNet helicopter flight path also seems to have gone from Tucson, all the way down to Rio Rico area, and now heading back up toward Tucson. If I'm interpreting the map correctly! Source: Live Flight Tracker - Real-Time Flight Tracker Map | Flightradar24

***Unconfirmed if related to NG case/speculation as to relation to discussion of POI located

EDIT: Thanks to another poster, NYT has stated that someone was detained in Rio Rico, unclear if related to NG case (source: Investigators in Nancy Guthrie Case Detain Person for Questioning: Live Updates)

Rio Rico is roughly a 30-40 minute drive from Nogales, Mexico. If NG was being held in Rio Rico (which is unknown at this time), her captor(s) could have purchased her medication in Mexico without a prescription (and thus without leaving a paper trail). MOO.

The life flight could be for the person detained or an officer injured.

Is there any chance that’s Nancy in the air on the way to hospital?

Forgot where but saw somewhere say NG hasn't been found yet. Could be whoever was detained put up a fight and someone got injured along the way? But i'm with you and hoping for the best.

I saw lifeflight earlier then I lost it

Well this is frustrating. I saw it very early on, posted about it then it seemed to disappear on me

 

[SlimPickens]

Current about 10mi S of Tucson. Entering their airspace. JMO.

 

[snoopy100]

Is Poopmarket a reputable source? I can’t believe I just typed that!

cracking up at this i'm sorry. thanks for the laugh

 

[Donswife48]

I'm watching Fox News now, and Trace Galligher has repeated that there is no sign of Nancy Guthrie in connection with the person detained. Sorry no source to link, so JMO

 

[Fargo]

Is there any chance that’s Nancy in the air on the way to hospital?

It's equally likely to be the suspect in that helicopter. IMO

 

[Ellis' Mom]

I saw lifeflight earlier then I lost it

It's following hwy 19 north--

 

[HoveringWombats]

Forgot where but saw somewhere say NG hasn't been found yet.

This is one source saying that, but it of course could be inaccurate or out of date:

[toucan1234]

As much as I want Nancy to be found alive, I fear that if this Lifeflight tracking had legs we would be hearing a lot of buzz about this from various reporters and folks who work in Tucson at hospitals / EMT / etc,.

Realistically, who isn’t eager to share good news?

I wonder if Kash Patel would know more then all these ex-agents? KP says as of this morning.

Patel said the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's office worked with "private sector partners" in recent days to recover the video footage, which Patel said had been "lost, corrupted, or inaccessible due to a variety of factors, including the removal of recording devices."

"The video was recovered from residual data located in the backend systems," Patel said. "Working with four partners -- as of this morning, law enforcement has uncovered these previously inaccessible new images showing an armed individual appearing to have tampered with the camera at Nancy Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance."

Person detained for questioning in connection with Nancy Guthrie abduction: Official

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI have detained an individual for questioning in connection with the abduction of Nancy Guthrie, a source said.

Sounds like he talking about video from cloud data that was marked for deletion because the customer opted out of a subscription which would have stored the videos for much longer. He is making it sound more complicated than it actually is. But then "Google turns over video it has on it's own servers" doesn't sound as exciting. Also, Google may be hesitant to reveal they are actually retaining video for that long for people who are not subscribed to their service as it may raise privacy concerns.
