I understand blurring the face in case this isn't the same guy, but it seems like a half measure to release this video then.

I'm skeptical it's the same person.

This video (originally posted without the blurred face by nerdy_addict on X) has audio. After twin-backpack man has finished fiddling about, we hear some kind of mechanical sound, which continues as he walks away. Up to that point, it’s all quiet. It’s as if he activated some kind of machine. Any idea what that sound is? Has he tipped something from the backpack into some kind of machine? Am I missing an obvious, commonplace source of this noise? If he were trying to unlock the gate, why lift the backpack?

Here’s HARVEY:

Discussing the 2nd email from the person wanting the single bitcoin to rat out the kidnapper.

The problem is, if you do it once, how do you ever stop doing it? you'll have an endless parade of jerks offering you info for a "mere" bitcoin.

Wasn’t the last camera footage at the front door recorded at 2:12 am? If not, what time was the blood dropped there? I am wondering because @RedHaus made me think of myself. Last year my skin became real thin and if i bumped my forearms or hands for any reason, I bled a LOT. My doctor called it solar purpora. It is form age and having a lot of sun exposure. I don’t take blood thinners but it is possible Nancy did. So if she did bump her hands or tried to defend herself, she likely bled very easily and a lot more than I did. And it doesn’t just dry up quickly. You have to bandage it very well. I hate to think of that.

The Official LE timeline said the doorbell nest camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m.

At 2:12 a.m. LE could tell there was movement on a camera but they didn't know if it was a person or an animal because at that time they hadn't been successful in retrieving the video.
LE didn't state which camera picked up the movement.

TMZ just recently stated that the man captured on the doorbell nest camera was captured at 2:12 a.m.

Blood droplets had to have been deposited after 2:12 am Feb 1st (perp video), and before noon(ish) on Feb 1st when LE proclaimed it a crime scene/abduction. First pics we saw were from the BE video on Feb 3rd.

FBI Releases Description of Suspect in Nancy Guthrie's Abduction, Increases Reward

The FBI has a better idea of what the suspect in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance might look like ... and, they've increased the reward to aid in their efforts.

www.tmz.com

Reward now $100,000. FBI releases approximate height of suspect is 5’9” to 5’10”. Confirmed they believe it is the Ozark backpack we have been talking about. Screenshot of FBI statement included in article.

So now, if that guy who wanted the single Bitcoin to rat out the kidnapper is legitimate, hopefully, he will name him now that the reward is higher than the amount he was asking & claim reward.

Do you know when the dogs were first brought out?

I actually don't. Anyone know?

He also appears to have a nose that begins quite high in between the eyes like a boxers nose you can see the bridge of his nose peeping through the hole in his ski mask imo

dbm because the person has been cleared and I don't want anyone to stumble across this later and be confused.

I'm skeptical that the backpack will help find him. Unless he's stupid and bought one a week ago at a local store.

I do not think this guy was a professional. I think he might’ve been dumb enough to have purchased all of his items in one order at Walmart- either in person or online. I’m assuming Walmart corporate and/or local Walmarts are being asked to comb their sales records for this backpack- and maybe the gloves, flashlight, etc. Walmart keeps meticulous records of my purchases- and now when I go, if I use self-checkout, they know my name by my credit card. I’m hoping he was as dumb as Brian Walshe was…

This isn't exactly directed at your comment, just jumping on it. If anyone looks at the 2nd video of the guy with two backpacks, they have his face blurred but his skin looks light, like Caucasian, and bald (I don't think he's wearing the face mask in the video). And, another thing: why have they blurred his face if they want tips on who he is????

I think they blurred his face because he has not been identified as having anything to do with the crime. His presence in the area and the backpacks might just be a coincidence.

I find it odd though there just happened to be a guy casually wandering around the area carrying two backpacks at 2 in the morning...

As always, JMO

 

[wibbleflea]

Oh, that's weird. I hadn't listened to the sound before. It almost sounds like a trash compactor or something? It seems like a weird place for that to be, though, so I don't know. Could this be the communal trash drop for an apartment or condo complex? JMO....

Sounds like it, yes. An odd thing to do at 2 am.

Genius! Maybe that's why they raised it.

Too bad there was not a rattlesnake in that lantana.

Don't forget he had a gun. Courage in the face of a gun probably poking into you is not always as brave. I could imagine complete compliance. She was powerless

-It is hard to say what happens when adrenaline kicks in.
-I don't know what younger women are told these days.
-But older women were told that once you get into a car with a captor, you will soon be dead. So always fight hard before you get in that car. You have nothing to lose. So that is what I would do.

You can buy Ozark Trail backpacks at Walmart and Amazon, so almost impossible to track down, BUT I would ask the Walmart on Speedway Blvd in Tucson for all Ozark Backpack purchases in the last 6 months.

Fed agents can get warrants to view all purchases of that specific backpack just like they did with the Ka-Bar knife purchases in the Kohberger case.

Do we have proof that Nancy wears hearing aids? I had to skip a ton of pages but haven’t seen anything that says she wears them.

I've not seen it reported anywhere either. However, by personal experience, older relatives are almost totally deaf. Hearing loss is a given in the aging process; it isn't surprising that NG would need them.

 

[Hanoi2009]

Has there been any mention of whether she had any work done at her house in the last few weeks? Lawncare, pool service, housekeepers, plumbers, electricians, roofers, grocery delivers, trash pickup service, food delivery? Any service people at all?

She had her roof resurfaced or painted recently, IIRC

He could have had a WiFi jammer he was trying to use to open the gate

Surely they’ve ran tests to see if the glove or gloves are even related to the kidnapping?

They are being DNA tested, but testing can only connect them to the kidnapping if that DNA was found at the scene, or if Nancy’s DNA is on them.

Of course the contributor could be in the system, which would be a nice lead.
