I mean, there were also those 50 posts about Culver’s menu and locations last night too

I’m a newbie here, I feel terrible for the mods.

Hopefully the DNA leads somewhere because all of these raids striking out tells me that LE still has very little to go on two weeks out from the kidnapping. It doesn't feel like there's any momentum.

Does Arizona have a silver alert system in place and was it used when they realized NG was missing?
I just thought about this. I'm not sure if the Amber Alert type alerts for missing seniors is nationwide or not. Jmho

I believe they have one though it is called Safe Alerts. I noticed it was used in a few other missing persons cases involving elderly individuals in Arizona.

Exhausted and depressed

Yes. We have an 84 year old woman who is missing, who may be dying, who may be deceased.
We have video of a trespasser who was at her front door removing a security camera on the night she went missing.
We have 14,000 tips that LE is trying to vet.
How many of the tips identify a potential suspect who ticks many of the boxes on information that LE has developed, some of which we and/or main stream media know nothing about?
How many are plausible?
How much probable cause has been included on an affidavit that was presented to a judge who is the deciding factor on whether or not a search warrant or an arrest want will be issued?
We know the person on the camera was armed. Is he working alone?
LE needs to be prepared for an armed resistance when they attempt to serve the warrant. The object is to complete the task without harming the suspect, the victim, and the general public.
The streets are blocked because media and rubberneckers come right on down to the scene while LE is trying to do their job. What happens to them if bullets start flying out of the residence or vehicle?

So far we have seen a couple of major operations involving swat teams and multiple LEOs. These two operations were based on probable cause that may not have panned out.

So it’s back to the other 13,998 tips to check out.

Give them a break.

They also have dna. They have a good idea of what the perp looks like. They have the FBI, who was not given the lead on the investigation. They have ransom notes that may or may not have been paid. From the very beginning, the local authorities put crime scene tape up and took it down repeatedly. They didn’t take interviewing those closest to Nancy seriously, imo, and they have spent lots of time at Annie’s home. They have had two swat teams out.
A lot of crimes don’t even have these resources. Their detectives are all there under two years. Newbies.
If reporters are in the way, let their PIO deal with them with news pressers. Keep the reporters busy.
The sheriff said every day there would be no news pressers and no interviews but then HE kept talking to local reporters. He picks and chooses his favorites.

Meanwhile, 84 year old Nancy was hurt in the abduction and needs help.
The last word from a local news station last might around midnight EST was that the FBI was approving a written statement. Really?

ALLOW THE FBI TO TAKE THE LEAD.

See you 30 minutes. Enjoy your rest period.

uh IF THERE WAS A DEAD BODY IN THE CAR, no one COULD SIT IN THERE FOR LONG. The odor would be horrendous. If you,ve never been exposed to decomposing remains, you can't even imagine the stench..

True, but no one knows for sure if she is dead or, if so, how long she has been dead. It's not like flipping a switch where as soon as someone dies, the smell appears.

I truly hate having to do this, but we’ve reached a point where it’s necessary.
There have been too many posts stating rumors as fact — such as Google searches about Nancy’s house from Somalia, speculation presented as evidence, and deep dives into the life of a man who has not been publicly named by law enforcement. His photo has been posted. His workplace has been discussed. As far as I know, the police have not identified him as a suspect.
That cannot continue.
THIS THREAD WILL BE TEMPORARILY CLOSED FOR CLEAN-UP.
We have tens of thousands of other cases that could truly use your energy and your skills right now.
CLICK HERE, and please consider visiting Missing but Not Forgotten. Choose an older case. Do a quick Google search on that case and post an update. Even something as simple as “I’m so sorry your loved one is missing” can mean more than you know to a family member who may be reading quietly in the background. Those small moments of kindness matter.

I can't believe what I am seeing.
