Here’s a compelling TMZ video of Harvey Levin and Merk Geragos discussing the case, where Levin gives a firm statement that he knows (his emphasis on that word) - "100%" - that the FBI is moving on the assumption that the ransom demand and kidnapper are from the same source, and are also very interested in the person wanting bitcoin reward for information about who did this. He also stated this in a Fox News interview this AM.

JMO.
Interesting... This is has NOT been my presumption. Do we trust Harvey?

As you summarized:

"...Levin gives a firm statement that he knows (his emphasis on that word) - "100%" - that the FBI are moving on the assumption that the ransom demand and kidnapper are from the same source..."

I've been thinking about how this old lady could have opened her door to let the kidnappers in.

Was she a religious lady? I think maybe she thought she "heard" a voice beckoning her to "the other side" (aka heaven!) and to "open the door" to let the Holy Spirit in.

I know of a number of the older members of the Congregation at my church have had similar out of body experiences. I wonder if this happened to Nancy.

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.

Since there’s not proof NG’s kidnapping and ransom are two separate operations; the FBI could take over the case under the ‘Cryptocurrency Extortion’ scheme.

Specifically, "Extortion and Blackmail (18 U.S.C. § 873): This statute broadly criminalizes using threats or pressure to force someone to give up something of value, including cryptocurrency."

Also, there is a belief that (if not proof) more than one perp is involved, this statute may apply as well. "Conspiracy Statutes (18 U.S.C. § 371): If more than one person is involved in the scheme, federal conspiracy statutes may be used" and is also under the ‘Cryptocurrency Extortion’ scheme/umbrella for Federal Crimes.

MOO... 🐮

Well, hopefully these results will shed some light because the handling of this case has been a disappointment since the beginning and continues to remain just that.Instead of inept initial crime scene operations we now have extreme over reactions to possible suspects supposedly sorted from various tips and investigating. We remain in the dark as to what actually transpires during and after the actions of LE on these latest raids.After the first detainment ended so badly one would think LE would be sure before searching another home, but no, they went even deeper and more invasive to the occupants than they did with the first. With nothing to focus on they continued searching well into the night, for nothing. It should have become obvious pretty quickly that the people they detained weren't involved, yet LE continued on with their search to potentially include the medical examiner office. They should have just admitted they blew it again. SG needs to contact her government friend and get this investigation on track. Just call me disappointed. JMOO
bbm. How do you know this?

No. IMO.

I wonder if one of the leads LE was following was connected to the Range Rover being newly purchased (it had temporary plates in all the pictures). Maybe they were looking in the area between NG and AG's homes because they didn't get any hits on main roadway cameras so they figured the suspect traveled through the neighborhood. And then maybe they combined that with looking for recently purchased cars in the area, thinking that the suspect would have gotten rid of his car in order to destroy evidence. Perhaps if the suspect merely traded his old car in, LE impounded it yesterday from the dealership/buyer and found evidence. Or perhaps the suspect's car drove to Mexico and never came back... just a theory that I think could justify probable cause for a search warrant...

Savannah Guthrie’s husband was spotted in public for the first time since his mother-in-law was allegedly abducted two weeks earlier. A somber-looking Michael Feldman was seen strolling through a Florida airport Friday with the two young children he shares with the “Today” host in tow.

Feldman, 57, kept his sunglasses on as he was escorted through the unnamed airfield by security. He was dressed down in a zip-up sweater, jeans and sneakers, and maintained a grim expression.


Feldman and the kids — <modsnip: no children's names> - piled several pieces of luggage into a black SUV. Savannah Guthrie was not with the family.

It’s not clear why Feldman and the kids were in the Sunshine State or where they were arriving from. The sighting marks the first time Feldman was publicly spotted since his mother-in-law, Nancy Guthrie, vanished from her Tucson home in the early morning hours of Feb. 1.

He has largely flown under the radar amid the disturbing kidnapping case — only breaking his silence Tuesday in an emotional plea to the public in finding the armed and masked man who was captured lurking outside Nancy’s home.

Following his wife’s lead, Feldman posted the disturbing surveillance footage made public by the FBI to his Instagram. “Someone out there may recognize this person,” the communications consultant wrote in his caption. “Please help us. Bring her home,” he added.

Can anyone elaborate on what they think the federal warrant would have been? Meaning, would it have to have been the ransom only?

Updates on the case from AZ local news source.

Also see the excellent timeline of events they’ve laid out.

There seems to be a typo in this link. Corrected version (that works for me, at least):

Four people? I thought it was two men and one of their mums?

That's the headline. In the body of the article is says 3. Modern journalism and all. I don't make the sources :)

Nonetheless they were all released. The other article linked has a seasoned defense attorney stating how strange this tactic is.

There is a rumor of a map on a dartboard in Ramos's office that says "detain and see if it sticks" above it.

Did anybody else hear anything about a Range Rover being towed away? What did that have to do with Nancy?
