Tells me that it didn't have any DNA! JMO

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?

Sounded like he was trying to open the gate latch, possibly trying to jog it with a full heavy backpack. Walked away when he couldn't. Looks like a back gate to a yard, with multi car parking behind him.
Other than backpacks, the time, and being male, what links this person to NG?

Why would the sheriff do that?

IMO, It's probably a combination of egos and stupidity. Each side wants full control, instead of working together they would rather hurt the investigation.

Nothing now – he has been cleared. I was asking about the sound you hear when he walks away.

FBI is being blocked from key evidence by AZ Sheriff in NG's case? Confirmed source to Michael Ruiz. What is going on here?? JMO

I thought FBI trumps the county sheriff?! I really would like to know why this would be helpful to not release everything they have at this point. They dropped the ball!

 

[MollyHarps]

Ive felt sorry for him at times in this case but my sympathy has evaporated now - the sheriff needs to go.

He has been bloody useless from day 1 in this case and now it seems like he is hampering the investigation

I’m enraged so I only wonder how angry Savannah and the family will be with him

 

[SaraSmile]

People keep asking that but don't seem to realise that the benefit in a missing person is that they can't change their inheritance or out someone for a fraud or other crime being committed.

Bingo! Inheritance, fraud or to cover up another crime.
Occam’s razor.

At this time, I think it’s to cover up another crime, seems most likely. Remove person who might snitch (NG). I am very open to changing my mind.

Who said hire anyone? The dimensions of lantana man are a good fit for SIL or DE

SIL is very tall based on the family holiday pic. Way taller than 5’9”. Who is DE?

WOW.

While this sounds bad, does sending the glove to the private lab constitute "blocking the FBI from access to key evidence"? The latter sounds more general. Or did he block their access to other evidence as well? I guess I'm saying that this isn't good, but the headline may reflect either hurt feelings at the FBI or the media outlet's desire for clicks.

No ,it is for looking into dark recesses but one thing is for sure ,he was comfortable using a bite light

That's what I thought. He was comfortable with the bite light. He had used it before and chose it over a head light or flash light. So what professions or hobbies use this light? Yes something at night, or inside dark recesses. Not outdoor day light workers. Electricians, plumbers, etc.

And fragile

Only the dumb ones. Men with higher intelligence usually do not engage in this type of behaviour - JMO

 

[white rabbit]

I understood you were talking about the crypto
I just wondered in the same context, SG has the money so why the reward isn't higher. Then figured that even if that would happen, the LE cannot handle the overwhelming amount of tips coming in.
Prob cannot even handle the ones coming in rn. - IMO

ok take 'reward' completely out of the equation. take LE out of the equation. the family has nothing to do with LE/FBI/reward money. eliminate all of the above.

why hasn't any member of the guthrie family tried to post an 'answer', plea, desperation attempt (i.e. money) to all of these (IMO, bogus) ransom requests. the obvious is that lawyers have advised against such 'answers'.

i'm thinking there's another answer...curious as to your thoughts.

They didnt remove her body because it wasn't at the premises to be removed, lantana man was merely a perpetrator setting up the scene to look like the primary crime scene after she was harmed elsewhere.

I agree. I think someone may have driven their car there and opened the garage to bring her home at 10 pm ish. Someone else was sent to make it look like a kidnapping. And, if they took her home, why did she Uber there? I wouldn't let my 84-year-old mother Uber to my house, 5 miles away. Just saying. Couldn't they come and pick her up for dinner, etc., that night?

Here’s the Reuters report. Prepare to be enraged:

Exclusive-FBI blocked from key access to evidence in Nancy Guthrie abduction case, source says

By Jana Winter WASHINGTON, Feb 12 (Reuters) - An Arizona sheriff is blocking FBI access to key evidence in the investigation into the abduction of U.S. television journalist Savannah Guthrie's mother,

uk.news.yahoo.com

Wait! Hold up, instead of allowing FBI to utilize Quantico. This local sheriff wants to send evidence to a private lab in Florida. I’m so dumbfounded by this Sheriff.

I hope Locals remember this when they hit polling locations

 

[GoJacks]

WOW.

i know in the BK case the fbi used othram over their own lab, no? so not sure that's a crazy big deal but what do i know.

 

[snoopy100]

this is about the time of night when the this thread starts to go off the rails, i'll check back in later!

 

[HerNameWasBuffy]

Yes! My mom has always said if they take you off and kill you, you might never be found. So fight like hell right where you are so they have to do what they're going to do right there.

Do we have the same mom? Mine told me if they take you to another locations you're already dead, make them do it where you are.

As soon as a I heard of this case it came to mind immediately, it's very likely something she taught her own daughters.

I'm with ya. When I saw the reports all over about him being at a basketball game I thought "gimme a break."

But this is just... Something else.

WTH???

Happened too in the Gilgo Beach investigation. That took over a decade to solve:
"Timothy Sini, Suffolk County Police Commissioner from 2015 to 2017, said detectives were blocked from sharing information with the FBI's Behavioral Science Unit, which would have assisted with the profiling of the killer."

Who is James Burke? Long Island cop criticized for Gilgo Beach murders

James Burke, a former New York police chief, is facing increased scrutiny over his handling of the Gilgo Beach killings investigation.
