There will be more communications, IMO.

How long is this kidnapper going to wait to get paid. He has made threats in the past. Plus, he never(that we know of) provided proof of life. Does he even have NG or is he just an opportunist?

Why didn’t she have a life alert device?

Perhaps she did.

 

[CandyKiss]

One would think. But that's also an assumption. After a while you stop checking in, you start ignoring push alerts. The subscription wasn't on the external cams. Why wasn't that paid, probably a lapse or oversight.

We don't know. At this point I am most interested in the inside of the crime scene, the situation with any alarm or other interior security, the supposed signs of forced entry that we are not clear about, and all that.

"The subscription wasn't on the external cams. Why wasn't that paid, probably a lapse or oversight." In the article about NG and her friends, one mentioned (and it was posted on her FB page) that she asked about cameras because she wanted to watch the wildlife. I understand that, I have a 92 year that lives two doors away, a 90 year old one street over and two 80+ year olds around the corner. They were interested in the 'dings' on my phone, and said they'd like one too BUT only for wildlife

I would be interested in what the interior looked like as well. Initially Nanos claimed there was a forced entry (later walked that back) we know from pictures it wasn't the front door. Assumption: it was the back door around the corner from the garage.

What do you think might be found inside? Where do you think this unknown DNA was found. I have a thought and if so ... he really messed up.

It's a free country. Many elderly people choose not to have these.

When viewing the up-close stills of suspect one thing I notice facially is the appearance of downturned eyelashes. I, like many others feel suspect is wearing a latex mask underneath ski mask. When I’ve browsed both male/female masks I’m noticing most of them lack lashes. The masks come up to the waterline and then completely cover the top eyelid. I’m feeling the lashes could possibly be the suspects own?

 

[bfizzel26]

Why have none of the people brought in for questioning proclaimed their innocence like the first guy they got wrong? I saw the mother said she’s innocent but weren’t two others detained? Innocent until proven guilty yes but I would have thought a statement or something given the public nature.

I'm sorry to say I think it was the documentary done in Nov 2025 that triggered this. It was a doc on SG's life in Tucson, and her mother was included in that.

Amateur opinion and speculation only

Yes that Today show "Homecoming" really revealed a lot about her life in Tucson and her mother. She frequently had her mother and in fact whole family on air with her on various shows. Clearly in. the world we live in you can't do that.

 

[Fargo]

I think that is who was driving the RR last night. Don’t think it’s been sold. It’s still for sale on their website

Their reviews are terrible.

I've been watching the NewsNation special tonight with Brian Entin. I just learned the police had a "signal sniffer" to see if they could connect to Nancy's pacemaker that they had sent in for the search. I wasn't sure that they had tried that, but I'm glad to know they have that tool in case they have a different area to search. I'm still hoping she's alive, but if she's not at least they could find her body.

Reminds me of a suggestion I saw elsewhere…to put Nancy’s phone in a drone and fly it around Tucson to see if it would connect with her pacemaker since it acts as a “homing beacon”.

The strange things are why do you remove and 84 yr old woman from her home and what do you do with her? Somewhere I read - among all the comments everywhere - that a former FBI experienced agent said the abduction appeared to be staged. Staged well after she was abducted? Staged by who? Why staged? Just an interesting perspective. Not much else to consider right now.

This makes no sense. The only way an abduction could be staged would be if she willingly left with her dressed up friend in the mask and is hiding somewhere to fool her family. Oh and she willingly bled all over her front walkway as a further attempt at hide and seek! The former FBI experienced agent has just told us why he is now former agent. lol JMO

What’s the latest? Three more detained and released?

I think they’re the legitimate suspect(s), based on what LE has said (knew details from crime scene). Personally, I'm leaning toward Nancy never being taken alive, and that she’s buried in the desert somewhere, and has been for two weeks. No real kidnapper wants to extend the ordeal.

Smart!!!!

Sounds like she had an App to control the garage door, likely gave family access to it as well. The App is how they knew the garage door timing imo. Usually, you would open the door with the App (some have sensors for cars and it auto opens for the vehicle) and you would close the door with the wall button near the interior entry door. Easy, quick. Avoids the 3 steps and curved path at the front entrance in the dark.

SIL and AG may have had one of her openers on their visor as well.

<modsnip>The previous pool company that NG regularly used has presumably undergone DNA testing. The family wanted a new company to service the pool until the investigation has played out. JMOO

 

[SlimPickens]

Yes. Interestingly enough, it also appears to be the earliest and the middleist.

Dang it.

My Mom's apple watch alerts my sister if she falls. Unfortunately Nancy did not have her watch on.

Yes.

A couple of days ago DNA was discussed.

A housekeeper's DNA in the bedroom would probably be expected.

The pool person's DNA - definitely not expected in a bedroom.

 

[rosesfromangels]

That about sums it up. However, they have collected DNA at NG house that isn't associated with anyone known to her. That is promising.

It did spike at 2am, but as explained on news recently, the spike could have also been the device was programmed to check in once a day to make certain that it was communicating.
“A pacemaker not only has the ability to create a heartbeat, triggering a heart to beat, but it’s also a sophisticated monitor of the patient’s heart rhythm, and a pacemaker is programmed to check in once a day, just to check in with its communication device and then ultimately the app that monitors it once a day,” he explained.
MSN

Once a day data dump is different than a triggering alert. If your heart rate triggers an alert it won't wait till the 2AM regular data dump to notify the doctor.
