Where is he saying this

He is live on TV right now! News Nation!

 

[barth00]

Oh my gosh I hope this is her and not a female accomplice, but not getting my hopes up

 

[TheDinks]

Where is he saying this

Apparently it's on the telly, NewsNation, which we can't watch from overseas... only when broadcast is put on YouTube

Not to be too grotesque, but I think we also tend to associate most modern abductions of women and children to be sexually motivated. While no one has ruled that out here, it’s harder to explicitly point to that as a motivation. It feels confounding and unique, especially to those of us who engage in the true crime world. A high profile ransom case like this is incredibly rare, especially when it’s of a sweet old woman. It is a crime that is deeply strange, and done to a victim that is highly lovable. And that’s before you add in a high-profile celebrity who many people wake up to every day. It’s hard to look away.

The motive for this crime is most likely money.

It could be a grudge with SG but more likely money.

Yes. Agree. I thought, in the beginning, I, personally, was strangely overstimulated, captivated by, and glued to any and all developments in this case because 1)It reminded me of my good friend’s case because he was also “missing” until he wasn’t,. 2)I am an AZ native so the case is relatively close to me/almost local, and 3) I do watch Savannah on Today, during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, etc.

Before long, I realized that this had, in fact, captured the attention of the nation for the reasons you have described.

We are all so invested/on pins and needles waiting for something to break that will finally lead us to Nancy. Prayers we locate Nancy alive and put these abductors away before the end of the weekend. MOO

If you people were right about a female in that porch I'll have a stroke.

Try this? NewsNation Live

 

[HoveringWombats]

For those in the US who don't have News Nation, it's on YouTube TV and I think there's a free trial available if you really want to be able to see it. (Probably other services too, but that's the one I have and am aware of.)

Where is he saying this

Apparently he's saying this on News Nation. Alas, I do not have access to News Nation, nor apparently does my cable service.

Hoping it is NG and her kidnapper.

 

[HoveringWombats]

Pulled?

I don't think this was intended to be taken that literally based on how it was said. MOO

 

[IzzyBlanche]

A couple of miles from Nancy's house!!!

 

[HmmMysterious]

Watch Brian Entin

[Chainspell]

Brian says he's about two miles away from Nancy's house, per News Nation.

Do we get half the money?

I don't think morbid writing is a reliable indicator of real-life actions. Without something more concrete, it feels beside the point here, IMO. I'd hate for someone to look at my darker writing and treat it like 'evidence' about something tragic in my family.

Is it possible they kidnapped her for ransom but because of the stress of the situation (they said she was scared) and being without her medication she died? What would be their options then?

JMO I think they would panic, argue about what to do, make a lot of mistakes, run in circles and get caught.
