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]

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

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.

24 hours in AZ

Thank you

JUST IN: The Pima County Sheriff tells us regarding last night’s law enforcement activity, it was, “Nothing more than a lead tracked down that led to a search warrant and no arrest.”We’re of course still waiting for the FBI’s statement

SWAT Makes Its Move in the Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping -- The Latest

The swat operation Friday night -- leading to the detention of a driver in the Tucson area and the search of a home -- appears to be something other than a direct lead from the ransom note TMZ received.

Full body shot definitely looks similar to Lantana Man. Worked on height again by guessing these tile are 24x24.
Visually, his full height (feet to head) spans just under 3 tiles vertically. 3 tiles = 72″ (6′0″), He appears closer to ~2.8–2.9 tiles. Estimate:2.85 × 24″ ≈ 68–69″→ 5′8″–5′9″

I think 5'10" Lantana Man and at 5'9" are one and the same.

No wonder dude was so double layered up. He is hairrrryyyyy with a capital H. There's a pic in shorts on his IG. Scary pic with AK rifles too.

All JMOO.

Who is this?

 

[Puzzles8]

Did the Land Rover guy kill himself last night? I keep hearing differing things.

There was an unconfirmed rumor that someone shot themself last night. I don't believe this has been substantiated by any reliable source. The rumor originated from a neighbor's statement.

JMO

 

[Data Sleuth]

yes, i dont think anyone ever confirmed whether or not things were stolen

Agreed, there are many aspects of this case that LE has not released.

Disappointing. I was hopeful about this one.
