It took about 3 weeks in the Kohberger case, but they did it because they knew it had to belong to the perpetrator. Here they've got a pair of gloves, which could have a bunch of innocent explanations.

Unless they have more information, I can't see them doing that.

But who knows, they may have found something in the house (blood, touch DNA on a particular relevant object).
yeah, i suppose they might be able to accelerate a lot of the steps, and just ordinarily don't because they're usually applying it to cold cases.

Trust me it's there . The 27 second one . Walks up, puts hand to camera , walks back to porch entrance , takes a step to the right, picks up rope. Starts walking back to door
Trust us, it’s lantana

Nope. It’s flowers. Lantana to be specific
OMG!! You're right . I thought he got the plant from the right side of the door that was in a vase.
Good thing I've been here since day 1 and watched all the videos over and over again on a big screen 🤣😂😂
PLEASE DISREGARD MY POST ABOUT THE ROPE!!!

I think if the gloves have NG's DNA, then if there is DNA from second person on the glove too - they pursue that as fast as possible.
Oh for sure. But absent that, I don’t see it.

@MassGuy, but it's only ONE glove, right? Not a pair? Or is this new info?

Our bumbling perp probably thought there was medicine, jewelry and cash in an elderly ladies home. So an easy target to grab and go. Except it didn’t turn out they as expected.

I’m thinking he, with or without another perp, helped her walk out the front door into a vehicle that was nearby. Took her to a friend’s place, or a family member for safekeeping. They’re all lying low figuring out what to do.

There’s some medicines that are critical, like blood thinners, that are important but won’t cause immediate death. Elderly people have thin skin which injures easily and if she’s on blood thinners, then the drops of blood are not necessarily a catastrophic wound. So my guess is it isn’t insulin whereby death is rather certain after so many days.

I feel the media need to give the searchers some privacy whilst they are searching.

I get it’s a high profile case but sometimes these people just need to be left alone to get on with their job.
No such word "whilst". While

But wouldn't they be busted if the ransom was paid and then they accessed it?
I don’t know enough about bitcoin wallets to answer this. I think you can check if a wallet “ID” is valid but whether you can track who it belongs to, I don’t know. I have heard of bitcoin being used to pay killers for hire and such because it is untraceable but that may be incorrect.

Latest report I saw said two gloves were found. Will see if I can find it. Was in the last few pages.

So the article says that Carlos stated he was detained because a relative of his called in a tip that said that Carlos' eyes looked like the guy in the video released by the FBI at NG's front door.
Someone looking for reward money or grudge

Not today. The
I think there are quite a few pranksters sending deliveries to Nancy’s door. Yesterday it was Domino’s pizza, today it’s an Amazon parcel.
Not today. The Amazon package showed up Day 2.

I’m not American and have not studied your geography, so I’m not sure how I was supposed to know this.
We don't know the geography to the detail either. America is very large, so we are used to using google maps for everything. :)

It wasn't there at the night of the kidnapping but why it wasn't collected is beyond me. It could be a regular order or it could have something from the kidnapper.
I first noticed it on a video when a reporter videoed the front door after the crime scene was opened back up, it could have come from anywhere but it still bugs me.

“whilst” is a word…

It’s just the U.K. spelling of “while”.

If anyone has worked at large department store (specifically Walmart) please let me know if:

Is there a system to track and examine transactions that occurred at the store? Maybe by checking inventory logs? If we've deduced 3/4 of the suspects outfit is walmart brand. Theoretically could a Tucson based Walmart check for a transaction that contained these items? Then compare timestamp of transaction to camera footage? Or see if it's linked to a specific debit/credit card?

New info. So there was a black glove found on the side of the road this afternoon. It was like 1.5 miles from Nancy’s house.

These two gloves were apparently found much closer.

No crime except for the gun on the camera.

How do you definitively know he had an actual gun in that cheap mis-matched revolver holster? Could have been a replica or airsoft used strictly for intimidation and coercion of a 84 year old woman living alone in a dark, secluded neighborhood. No way of telling with the info we were presented and as far as we know there was no discharge of a firearm on the scene.

If he had to draw if encountered by someone he couldn't even get his finger inside the trigger guard with those gloves on. IMO that would be consistent with the cheap thrown-together get up that includes a $15 reflective backpack and a mouth light that transfers saliva.

edit: As pointed out in an earlier post AZ is a constitutional carry state with legal open carry. As long as he wasn't a prohibited person and 21 or over.

Im not sure about that totally. Just because they may not be person on the cam footage, would not necessarily mean no connection. I’m not saying there is, but until it’s confirmed by LE, I wouldn't assume there isn’t. Jmo
Let's say they determine this new letter to be legit (however one comes to that conclusion)....if the family had any seriousness about paying the original ransom (I have no clue how close they were or weren't), and if the bitcoin wallets are traceable, why not pay this new one? You either get valuable info or you don't but then you know who the person is that lied just to get money.
True. It's also possible, if a family member involved, they hired someone to do this.
