I am considering getting cameras installed, any recommendations? Or ones to avoid?

We are very happy with the Ring and Blink systems we use.

 

[Morag]

Is he still there? I thought he was just in the area briefly for a separate thing.

No, he is there waiting to jump in front of the case and take credit for solving it, as is his practice. Or perhaps his country music girlfriend has a show in Tucson he’s going to attend. Or both.

 

[shelrae1]

Any idea on a timeline of how long someone can be detained before they have to either make an arrest or release them?

CNN said no one was detained. So who is correct?

i think no one has given comment this early the next day yet
but cnn also reporting as mentioned above lead not going further

 

[distracted]

Serious question, is it too much to expect LE/FBI to hold a presser? There was and continues to be huge, worldwide attention from last night, I think it would help for them to clarify and provide some clear information to avoid any more speculation around what happened and why no arrests

Honestly, I don't think we'll hear anything from LE until they make an arrest or find Nancy. It's actually standard procedure - don't lay your cards on the table or do anything to jeopardize the case. At this point, the only reason we should hear from them before they make an arrest if is they need the public's help. It doesn't look like they need our help anymore.

 

[GMG1999]

I believe people had posted here that LE had said there would be no more pressers until there was a significant break in the case, so I’m guessing they don’t have anything substantial to report yet unfortunately. I tried to find sources for this but there has been so much reported that I haven’t had luck but I’ll update my post if I find what I’m referring to

ETA: here ya go, finally found one after I posted this! Scroll down to 5 days ago with title “no suspect’s in the case, sheriff’s department says”

No suspects in the case, sheriff's department says

The Pima County Sheriff's Department has said there are no suspects, persons of interest or vehicles that have been identified in the case.

It is hard to believe they sent that many people and CSI to the location and nothing resulted from it. I mean, that was a huge amount of force and investigators.

 

[aafromaa]

Snipped by me…

“I think we saw that again last night, but this particular lead is not going to go any further,” he said.

https://edition.cnn.com/us/live-news/nancy-guthrie-news-updates-02-14-26?t=1771077566611

Oh I hope CNN’s source is wrong on this! If not, I can’t follow any more of these late night LE operations. I really thought more would come from this one with all the FBI vehicles rolled in after the subjects were detained. I can’t take the roller coaster ride anymore. It’s beginning to feel a bit like the boy who cried wolf.

 

[cady]

So, probable cause for two warrants and nothing found or found out? jmo

 

[Napoli]

Yes this is my biggest question. Why not have a presser ?

BECAUSE........................................ There's NOTHING to report. "we detained someone...we let them go"...wash, rinse, repeat. JMO

Nancy Guthrie Case: First Photo of Man Detained During Traffic Stop

Police reportedly detained at least 3 people in connection with the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping ... and now we're seeing the first image of a man in handcuffs.

[armchairagatha]

So the folks detained yesterday have been released? I wonder if they paid out the bitcoin and that person gave them this lead but it didn’t pan out. I have read here that the person detained bore a strong resemblance to the Ring camera guy, so that may have been what made an acquaintance who ratted think it was him. MOO

Officers Seal Off Street Near Nancy Guthrie’s Home

''If she were abducted by a stranger, at age 84, that would make her case extremely unusual. Most kidnappings in the United States involve family or custody disputes, and a vast majority of the victims are children, experts say.''

'In general, kidnappings targeting older people are extremely rare and often involve a scam or financial motive, said Carrie Landau, a retired F.B.I. agent who focused on crimes against children and human trafficking investigations during her 21-year career.'

Pima County officials around 10 p.m. local time that a written statement would be released.

The raid came hours after TMZ received another alleged ransom note — the third sent to the outlet Friday — in connection to the missing grandmother. The email’s sender warned that law enforcement should “be prepared to go international” to locate the “main individual” behind Nancy Guthrie’s mysterious disappearance

The desperate search for Nancy Guthrie is entering its second week — as the 84-year-old mother of “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie was last seen at her Arizona home on Jan. 31.

FOX News Digital obtained the photo showing the man sitting half in and half out of a Pima County Sheriff vehicle surrounded by law enforcement in Tucson, Arizona, on Friday night. The man's hands are cuffed in front of him with a hoodie partially covering his face.

The author claimed to know the identity of Guthrie’s kidnapper — and said he knew her current condition.

At the time, Nanos noted there was no video available in part because Guthrie, the mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, didn’t have an active subscription to the company.

But then FBI Director Kash Patel said Tuesday that investigators kept working for days to pull the videos from “residual data located in backend systems.”

Adam Wandt, associate professor and deputy chair for technology at John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York City, explained that the footage was retrieved through forensic analysis of data stored on the servers.

I am considering getting cameras installed, any recommendations? Or ones to avoid?

I have three Eufy cameras installed, best thing about them is no subscription service is required. They offer a good selection on cameras for outside and inside your house. I like the ones that are solar powered for outside, they require no wires or recharging.

 

[Athos65]

I have Blink and Nest.

Research Eufy. They have a base unit with a memory card inside your residence, and there is no subscription.

 

[distracted]

48 hours in most cases. 24 hours in some,

 

[loves2readhistory]

No, he is there waiting to jump in front of the case and take credit for solving it, as is his practice. Or perhaps his country music girlfriend has a show in Tucson he’s going to attend. Or both.

Imo—that was big reason behind SG calling Mark Kelly—she needed someone with some clout to ensure a professional FBI team.
