Can you say what the arrest was for? Is he a sex offender?

There is a person in his 50’s same name,

“They held me against my will,” the man told reporters outside his home. “They didn’t even read me my rights until two hours later.”

They truly grabbed the first stocky Hispanic guy they saw, huh?

I pray that the handling of this case is not going to result in a worse outcome for Nancy.

It's already been said she was not expected to be attending her own church, in person or virtually. She was supposed to be watching a live stream of SG's church service.

I am aware now that Nancy didn't physically attend her church that day. She was expected at a friend's home to watch it with her. There was previous confusion regarding that based on a New York Times article stating her friend alerted family when she wasn't in her pew. That was obviously not accurate information.

So the live stream was on the friend's television not online? Thanks for the clarification.

We still don't know which service she was expected to be watching. Unless I missed that bit of info.

I just woke up and I can't believe it. I thought I would wake up and it would all be over.

Tough I understand... but sounds completely legal what they did to you.

I feel sorry for this guy, it shouldn't be like this. I didn't like the FBI and media circus last night.

So angry that our FBI is so incompetent. Guy makes minimum wage, going about his business, when he's surrounded by LE. Then they break down his MIL's door, throw everything around in a search. Whoops. Sorry about that. FBI agents make GOOD money, and they can't do their homework? This is America 2026. We deserve better. (Mod snip)

I think I can say with total confidence, that the last person/s to see Nancy were the ones on her doorstep in the early hours of Sunday morning. We even have photographic evidence to support that.

I am not sure we know this? Could they just be the pick up guys who deliver NG to someone else. To be honest these guys don't seem like the brains of the operation if the kidnapping is connected to the ransom note. The money people seem to be intelligent and sophisticated. The pick up guys not so much.

Imagine having pulled off a kidnapping, you're waiting on your payment and, what, you do DoorDash with your family?

Are the FBI/LE just throwing spaghetti at the wall now?

Yes, detained for questioning. I hope they got information to further the case. This pic was included in X as the detainee. Similar?

Maybe similar, maybe not. But similar isn't good enough. I'm guessing the detained guy had absolutely no valuable information. I'm guessing he was the subject of a tip that absolutely needed to be checked out, but he's not a viable suspect.

Hmm... So this guy they detained and released doesn't resemble the masked man IMO.

What is going on?

Totally agree. The card is very interesting and it'd be good to know when it was left there. It would make sense that APS would be involved when an elderly person is missing. But leaving the card there? I wonder if APS also reached out to the family.

For sure LE knows if there'd ever been APS involvement.

Likely that at early stage of missing elderly “Silver Alert” (call to 911) triggers automatic contact with APS, who then visits and leaves card so they may be contacted when she is found (the process is to get involved early to help a person who has become more vulnerable & walked off - not kidnapping!). Good to know APS gets contacted when a Silver goes missing.

This is very, very far fetched but with NG’s age and the high likelihood she’s on blood thinners, I wouldn’t be surprised if she had a wound that was already bandaged (like in the picture released of her at a table). Someone posted way, way back that it looked like there was a bandage on the front step. I wonder if she purposely took off a bandage to leave a blood trail, sort of like a breadcrumb trail. I mean I doubt it but figured I’d put it out there with all the other theories running rampant haha.

I wish they released more info about the state of inside the house but I understand that there is likely a reason they aren’t doing so.

Hmm... So this guy they detained and released doesn't resemble the masked man IMO.

I mean, even just taking a quick glance at his eyebrows makes it clear that this is not the masked man.

This is NOT the man who was detained and could very well be an AI generated image.
