So the current description is a male suspect approximately 5'9" - 5"10" tall, with an average build.

But what kind of male suspect are they looking for?

Are they looking for a white male? A black male? A hispanic male? A middle eastern male? A oriental male?

What kind of a male suspect does the public needs to be on the lookout for?

Not sure we say oriental anymore

Glad that was cleared up quickly.

I’ve thought all along this was about someone’s hatred for SG. The one thing they could do to tear her heart out. Don’t believe body will ever be found, hope I’m wrong. Whatever the reason,it’s torture beyond words. Please someone prove me wrong

I’m shocked! SHOCKED!! Well not that shocked….

Glad that was cleared up quickly.

Yeah, it was obvious it wasn't the same person.

 

[white rabbit]

a websleuther determined the height about 200 pages ago so...way to go LE (eye roll).

possibly a stupid question but why hasn't the family thrown money into the 'ransom/bitcoin' ask? we know SG at least has the money. and she herself two/three videos ago said "we will pay"...so why not throw some spaghetti money on the wall and see what sticks?

another websleuther said we would all do ANYTHING to get our loved one saved/home/discovered. so why hasn't the guthrie family thrown so much as a dollar at bitcoin/offshore account?/anything these alleged kidnappers have asked for?

my answer - because these are bogus claims/distractions. curious as to what others think.

 

[Momtoapug]

That is really odd, imo. LE might want to look into that.

Oh wow, interesting. I’ve never heard of Google Explore. Does it only capture searches that were specifically made in google? What about other search engines?

 

[Cassie P]

She had her roof resurfaced or painted recently, IIRC

Would roofers tend to use a small mouth flashlight? Or anyone associated with a roofing project? Or people installing outdoor roof cameras?

 

[MassGuy]

I’m shocked! SHOCKED!! Well not that shocked….

I’ve been so annoyed by that damn thing. Nothing matched.

I dont think it ever was a kidnapping, I think it was a staged kidnapping to hide a murder.

I totally agree.

Yeah, there could be an innocent explaination for his behavior. Been there done that.

Planning to go through a gate but it's locked and needs to go another direction.

Video looks like it's from a business or apartment complex.

 

[unresolvedmystery]

Yeah, it was obvious it wasn't the same person.

No beard/facial hair and they walked different to lantana man

 

[Cassie P]

Someone knows who the Lantana man is, it’s just a matter of time before they report it. Could be someone he lives with, interacts with etc., as an example. They’re going to think about his height, backpack (maybe) and where he was that night (maybe the next day or two also).

$100K tends to focus the mind.

Oh wow, interesting. I’ve never heard of Google Explore. Does it only capture searches that were specifically made in google? What about other search engines?

I have a friend who works in a professional field that can be contentious at times. She has set a Google alert to notify her if her name is Googled. I didn’t know you could do that.

 

[LooksSusToMe]

Not that it's a critical point, and it doesn't narrow down the search that much, but Ozark Trail is a Walmart private label, so I don't think you'll find it on Amazon unless someone is re-selling.

Source, Ozark Trail is a registered trademark of Walmart (my screenshot from uspto.gov):

Not necessarily. I looked earlier, and there are some Ozark Trail items sold on Amazon. I couldn’t find the backpack, but it could have been sold there in the past. Just because it’s a private label under Wal-Mart, and is primarily sold exclusively there, it may be sold in certain markets and through via other sellers.

 

[maskedwoman]

I found Brian's interview of the retired officers very interesting, but I was surprised the one gentleman said firmly that he believes Nancy is alive. If so, that should mean that the ransom notes are real. If people have been sending real ransom notes and being blown off, I would expect them to be angry, frustrated and very anxious to get her off their hands. I would think that's very dangerous for Nancy.

 

[ab01]

I’ve been so annoyed by that damn thing. Nothing matched.

Yeah honestly it bothers me that these things keep leaking. These are the type of things that should be quickly investigated and cleared without the general public even knowing about.

Makes me wonder if these leads are the best they have. Which leads me to believe we might be here for a while unfortunately.

 

[txsleuth70]

$100K tends to focus the mind.

Yeah, why ask for the bitcoin now when you can get twice that amount with the reward?

 

[Pharmasgirl]

I find this strange as well. One the one hand, they're looking at paying a multi-million dollar ransom. On the other, there is a 50K reward on offer for her return. I'd think I'd go with a few hundred thousand as a motivator for info myself.

5 pm news says reward raised to $100K
