Getting closer to reopening. Thanks for your patience.

I have just waded through approximately 58 trillion off-topic posts.

Friendly reminder: we have a thread called “Give Us This Day Our Daily Thread.” That is my humble attempt to create a place where everyone can gather, say good morning, chat about life, compare coffee strength, discuss security cameras, and generally be human.

For example, someone asked about what kind of security camera to buy. Great question. Just not in this thread. That belongs on The Daily. That’s exactly what it’s for.

It’s a little slow right now, yes. So was Facebook once. So was sliced bread. Have faith.

Almost finished with thread cleanup. If I don’t return, send Taco Bell

That's it, im taking a 30 day break from the news and possibly even the entire Internet.

Normally, I would get angry at this post for being off-topic for about 0.7 seconds, then delete it and move on. However, this is a great post for our community thread called "Give Us This Day Our Daily Thread."
Five more pages to go, then the thread opens again.

DO NOT grab random people and start discussing them. Even if you’re using initials. Just don’t.
If someone resembles the suspect, call the tip line, BUT BE SURE. DO NOT flood it with theories about what law enforcement “should” investigate. Think first. Call if you truly have a legitimate tip.
FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324)
Or go to their website tips.fbi.gov

The sheriff has refused to clear the family. So here’s the hard question: do we protect people who HAVE NOT been cleared, or—because a life is on the line and time matters—do we allow limited discussion of family?
When it comes down to that choice, the life at stake wins.
Nancy.

INITIALS ONLY. Do not sleuth children.

If you post something as fact (a fact that is not well known, again use your judgement) you MUST post a media link or law enforcement link to back up your claim.
If you forget to post a link to your statement of fact, you will be timed out
If you go big time off topic, you will be timed out
If you complain about moderation, you will be timed out. Although Direct Messages with lavish praise are always welcome. heh.

Thanks @tricia for all your hard work and reopening the thread, appreciate you!

For those interested, Brian Entin has a special report on the case tonight starting at 8:00pm EST.
Snipped from link:

“NewsNation Senior National Correspondent Brian Entin anchors special coverage from Arizona, where Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1. NewsNation will bring you this special report live Saturday night at 8p/7C.”

If you have noticed, LE has not said "lock your doors. Dangerous criminal on the loose". That tells ME they view this as targeted and personal and not a risk to the general public. They are asking for video starting from January 1. My guess is that they are looking for someone scoping out the area. I stand by my delusional, lovesick over SG stalker, theory. MOO

So we have now gone from two nights of FBI raids to maybe we'll find Nancy in a few hours or maybe it will be several years.

“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” Nanos told The New York Times Friday. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”

Arizona sheriff makes resounding promise in ‘exhausting’ search for Nancy Guthrie

“We won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”

THANKS VERY MUCH

BBM. This is what’s bothering me. Obviously the media circus around this means that any police movement is heavily publicized.

Unless they have enough for an arrest (DNA match, etc), I’m not understanding why they’re not picking these POIs in a more stealthy way. Why send our SWAT, etc every time?

I’m sure there’s a reason and I’m just unfamiliar with the intricacies of police work. Just seems like a strange, costly way to follow leads that only have search warrants and not arrest warrants.

I'd imagine there are many people who are being questioned in a more discreet fashion. The SWAT team doesn't go out every time they want to talk with someone, but in some circumstances it might make sense, for example if there's a belief there are weapons present, or the person has a history of violence or resisting.

 

[GatorsNorth]

I can't believe what I am seeing.

Yeah, it’s bad. I’m gobsmacked.

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.

They cannot ask the FBI to take the lead. The FBI only takes the lead in federal crimes such as terrorism, bank robbery, kidnapping across state lines., civil rights, counter intelligence.. FEDERAL CRIMES. Local law enforcement is the lead for most cases as that is how the pecking order it is designed. FBI assists in local crime when asked and it is appropriate.

Interesting that this does not say that those they detained were released-- only that they were not arrested. Could still be detained. You have to read for what it doesn't say as much as for what it does say.
