Ok, . Getting into this. I worked in NYC for years. A friend of my who left the force during the DeBlasio admin started a landscaping business in a cushy part of Long Island with estates and McMansions. It is no secret that there are crime affiliations and gangs based on ethnic commonality/nationalities. It is not just a cliche that many landscape hires are Spanish speaking. My friend told me "you'd be surprised how many of these guys I hired have connections, a cousin and friend a neighbor. Whatever, I have to be real careful hiring these dudes, bringing them around these houses." We had a huge problem with MS13 in the tri-state suburbs, and most people in those communities are very innocent good hardworking people, but you have to understand they navigate and live in close proximity to that element. From what I understand from colleagues many border towns share this same dynamic. So associates, wannabes, a crazy cousin trying to front as a gangbanger. I can see that sphere of influence here. There's a gray area with the street life as it were.
But it can always be something totally random. Some cases fit the pattern some are way left field.
Re Drug Trade. JMO
Along these lines, I mentioned earlier, that I thought it may be someone in the drug trade. Very close to Border where drugs come across daily, many people undoubtedly “ moonlight” in the drug trade. Tucson is known to have a lot of crime, probably drug crime is high, including getting rid of possible snitches. JMO
Possibly someone who worked for NG, day job checked out, hard working, honest on day job. Good work reviews. Worked some kind of construction or repair.
Maybe, one day NG happened to be walking near a worker, his car trunk open, she spotted what looked like cocaine bricks. Because NG had seen this on the News, close to border. NG asked “hey, is that drugs? ( she’s sharp as a tack!). It Was drugs!, but the worker closed the trunk and waved her off, “No just supplies for the construction business”. Acted amused and tried to laugh it off, assured her all was good.
Later, this person got paranoid, thought NG might turn him in. He worried about his own freedom, and drug bosses finding out that he may have gotten himself ( and ring) exposed. He hatched a plot with a drug friend, to get disguises, go into NGs home, remove her. So she would not talk, I’m sorry, I think she was killed right away, deposited in desert.
This example is a “ simple” everyday crime, and sadly, this kind of crime happens a lot because of possible exposure of the drug ring. I’m sorry, a beloved Mom is now likely gone. This theory works as there are few obvious clues RN, and in this example, because it was purely voice to voice convo, and no one else heard them, no texts or emails. NG probably forgot about it, didn’t tell anyone either.
Just an idea, as other ideas like kidnapping/ransom don’t make sense to me, too complicated.
I hope I’m wrong, that Nancy is still out there.

Edited to add, one thing about doesn’t make sense about abduction, the drug trade usually just shoots the person they want gone, doesn’t abduct.
