Why a tent now? There? Usually the tents only go up to shield the public from the recovery of remains.

Swabbing the floor for DNA in the exact sample places where the perpetrator was seen walking on in the video!

Will they be able to get decent samples after so many people have walked in that area?

Why didn't this happen Feb 1 or 2?

Collecting additional evidence from the front porch (saliva

Maybe using luminal to see if/where there is spit from intruder. ( they already tested all the blood).
Swabbing for DNA, in case trace amounts are found( even though perp was covered, his own DNA could have transferred to outside of gear when putting on gear.)
Swabbing doorway, front entryway, other perps carried NG out, maybe they touched something.
jMO

Yes, now that they know he had a flashlight in his mouth on the front porch.

Investigators typically erect white tents cover a body, a weapon, or another critical piece of evidence.

A white tent has been erected outside Nancy Guthrie's Arizona home 12 days after she was abducted.

Ok but if they're checking for DNA at front door, other people have been to the door - Brian Entin was. What about the pizza delivery recently? How would they even know it's the nappers DNA with the traffic that has been up there?!

 

[soap mama]

Maybe to keep the pizza delivery guys at bay???

Just joining this morning and on first cup of coffee. Turned on Fox and they are showing a white tent at the doorway of NG's house. I don't have twitter but I bet there is a pic out there.

Well isn't that a little late.. but better late than never... crime scene has been comprised by so many people.

Guess pizza guys DNA gonna need to be taken now to eliminate him.

I’d hope they’d done this days prior. Even the pizza dude could be a drooler!

 

[madprincess65]

And that, dear people, is what's keeping me, and probably many of you, too, reading this thread.

She could've been my mother.

I'd really like to know the why of this.

I'm beginning to wonder if it is someone in her family ?????

It’s also possible that these items were purchased secondhand/at a thrift. At most thrift shops with computerized checkout systems, the price tags scanned only indicate a general category, (Men’s shoes, Women’s blouse, etc.) At the smaller thrift stores, it’s even less “official”, IME.

Yeah, agreed. I have done a decent amount of thrift shopping at a variety of store types and sizes, and I've never seen any indication that they keep inventory at the level of granularity that would be required to find records of someone who bought a specific type of backpack, if that's where it was bought. Not saying the info couldn't be found, perhaps via scouring video footage or even an employee who happened to remember. I just personally doubt, based on my experience, that computerized purchase records would be very fruitful in this one specific context. (To be clear, I am not saying that it's my opinion that it was bought at a thrift store, and I have no info suggesting that — just addressing the point someone brought up earlier about it being a possibility and how that might be tracked down....) MOO

Maybe they are setting up a replica camera in the same spot and filming someone with known measurements to try to hone in on better height estimate for the mask guy. Like establishing a baseline.

I understand why people may believe this is a burgarly gone wrong, and it very well could be, but why put yourself out there even more by taking her - whether alive or not? It's more risky, no? Afterall, s/he had face covered. I wonder the what if's a lot BUT I wonder had she had a Life Alert if it would have helped. I think two people were involved.

If a burgarly gone wrong, what's with the smashed lights in the backyard? That seems like overkill (and potentially noisy).

Every idea that is reasonable still doesn't fit.

At this point I'm considering it was done for the thrill of it and the motive won't be more than that. I think the ransom was a hoax by an opportunist. I'm NOT committed to this theory and remain firmly on the fence, but "no reason" for the crime might be the reason.

[jmo w some sarcasm mixed in]

 

[minazoe]

I'm not sure about that guy they arrested either..there is more to the story about him in terms of being turned in by his mother or whatever it was and his background and the delivery situation. Hopefully they got DNA from him someway, during the interview.

it just seems like the are doing everything in reverse and it's really weird. mOO

Ultrasound 4K mini cams are used by law enforcement at crime scenes:

Scene documentation before disturbance​

Investigators aim to preserve the original condition of a scene. A mini cam allows close-range, high-resolution video capture of:

• The body’s position and orientation
• Surrounding objects and room layout
• Bloodstain patterns or trace evidence
• Entry/exit points and pathways

Because the device is small, it can capture angles that a standard handheld camera might miss without requiring investigators to step into sensitive areas and risk contaminating evidence.

Close-up forensic recording​

Mini cams are useful for documenting:

• Injuries or markings on the body prior to movement
• Identification features (tattoos, scars, jewelry)
• Small items near or under the body
• Tight spaces (under furniture, behind objects)

This creates a continuous visual record that can later be reviewed in court.

Chain-of-custody and procedural transparency​

Some agencies use continuous video recording during recovery to show:

• How the body was handled and transported
• What evidence was collected and when
• That protocols were followed

This protects both the integrity of the investigation and the personnel involved.

Confined-space inspection​

In cluttered or hazardous environments (e.g., hoarding situations, fire damage, structural instability), a small camera can be extended into spaces before investigators physically enter, reducing risk and minimizing disturbance.

---

Importantly, these cameras are not used to locate bodies through walls or floors (that would require radar or thermal imaging technology, which is a different class of equipment). Their role is documentation and safe inspection once investigators are already on scene.

They may find Brian Entin's. That crime scene shouldn't have been released so soon especially when Sheriff Nanos said they were still working on trying to recover the nest cam videos.

The entire case should have been turned over to the FBI, this was far too big for the Sheriff's Dept to handle.
