Heard another theory that makes some sense. This was a botched home invasion and not a planned kidnapping, etc. Nancy resisted and there was concern she could identify the perp so she was taken from the home. Still does not explain how he gained entrance, etc.

I do remember way up thread , a picture posted by a member of, prior to the tarp blocking the view , tailgate down , with items on it , one looking like a backpack . I wished I grabbed the photo . Does anyone recall seeing that , about 12 hrs ago ?

Shortly thereafter, they clarified that the backpack wasn’t from the Land Rover. It was from LE.

Sketch artist Lois Gibson released a sketch of what she thinks Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper might look like
“I GUESSED at the parts of face covered with ski mask on this Nancy Guthrie kidnapping suspect. I used the surveillance photos shown,” Gibson warned after revealing her sketch to social med

I think it’s risky for LE to release a sketch of a masked suspect. It could be off and then the public is then thrown off base as to who to lookout for.

I remember some investigators in previous cases were hesitant to release sketches for this very reason. They’d only release it if it was a cold case and they have nothing to lose.

Hi I'm new but have been lurking for over a week.

First, thank you to Tricia for pausing the thread, cleaning it out and restating the importance of the rules which differentiate Websleuths from Reddit and fb IMO (which is why I'm here and not there).

My question: I know the people detained have been released but what about the car LE had towed? Has it been released to it's owner or does LE still have it for testing?

Also I'll be forever grateful to whoever can tell me what "db" or "dbm" means at this site! I think I've figured out the other abbr. Thanks!

FBI still awaiting testing results is the general response published in articles (they impounded the Range Rover, sealed and towed).

Your first sentence says they cannot ask the FBI to take the lead.
Your last sentence says FBI assists when asked.

The FBI came to town. And sheriff never asked. Yes FBI can take over.The sheriff only needs to ask their assistance. He should do so. Now.

It looked like they worked together quite amicably and intelligently last night at the Range Rover/Culver’s scene. I like that 2 departments are working together. It’s less likely that funny business will take place with 2 separate entities working together (checks and balances). They keep each other honest and no one gets sloppy. No funny business like we saw in the Karen Reid trial. I think Pima county should absolutely stay involved. The Feds aren’t necessarily any better than the little guys. Every department has value and brings something unique to the table. But overall it’s the checks and balances that we NEED especially in a case that makes absolutely no sense. There’s no clear motive….

Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos Connect Dots in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping

Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper has eluded authorities for 2 weeks, but the ransom note TMZ received is of intense interest to the FBI, and Harvey Levin and Mark Geragos both agree ... it may be the key to cracking the case.

As our organs shut down, they start to break down, resulting in a certain smell. Have you ever smelled a dead deer?

ETA: trying to put this in simple terms btw, figured no one really wants to discuss the in-depth reasons haha.

Anyone truly interested can learn more on the body farm’s website where they study body decomposition in different settings. Interesting stuff if you don’t get squeamish

Original one is at UT Tennessee

Savannah Guthrie's husband seen in public for first time since mother-in-law Nancy's disappearance
Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, has been spotted for the first time since his mother-in-law Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

Feldman, 57, was spotted in Florida walking through an unnamed airport with his children — daughter, Vale, 11, and his son, Charley, 9 — whom he shares with Savannah.

Photos showed the family being escorted through the airport by at least three security guards on Friday. The “Today” Show host, 54, did not join her family for the trip.

sheriff admits it could take YEARS to find Savannah's abducted mother, 84, and says he is exhausted... Neighbor of home raided by Nancy Guthrie cops reveals who lives there via @DailyMail

Did we ask of his wellbeing?

 

[imstilla.grandma]

Local florist Matt Biggs says he's been filling orders for yellow flowers as the community continues to show support for the Guthrie family.

“We're happy to be able to contribute,” Biggs said. “If it brings any comfort or relief to the family, knowing that they have the support out there, it's nice to be able to give them that.”

Curt Dunshee, a neighbor who said he has known Nancy Guthrie for years and would often see her walking in the neighborhood, described a community on edge.

“To some extent, we’re all going through a little bit of trauma ourselves, because our neighborhood all looks on Nancy’s house in one way or another,” Dunshee said. “So a masked man coming up to your door makes you think.”

Tucson resident Lynn McCane signed a banner of support outside the home and said she has been praying for the family.

“It breaks my heart,” McCane said. “I’m constantly praying morning, noon and night. Whenever I am awake, I’m thinking about them and saying a prayer that God watches over them and leads them in the right direction

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.

Here's a thought. If she is deceased, it could be possible that her body was stored in a chest freezer somewhere.It would slow the decomp process if that were the case.

Shortly thereafter, they clarified that the backpack wasn’t from the Land Rover. It was from LE.

I watched it live. The pics with the tarp are the RR. The pic posted of the hatch area of a vehicle showing the backpack and some kind of box/bin were of the LE vehicle. The hatch area of the RR was never revealed. Here's the video of the goings on. 2:09:03 is a good place to start if you only want to see the RR search.

Good to know , thank you.

But they went to some lengths to conceal their identity so unless Nancy knew them personally, I doubt she'd be able to identify them. Jmo.

Not sure if posted yet, but thread moving so fast hard to tell, so here is reporter Brian Entin's tweet from 2 hrs. ago:

"Pima County Sheriff says last nights activity was a federal search warrant based on a lead they received. Traffic stop also connected. No arrest in either."
