This was yesterday. He also stated the same thing today.

Did he say it today before he did exactly what he said he wasn't going to do? I'm scratching my head - the only thing I can think of is the FBI told him to announce it and told him to not explain why he was doing so.

Not a racial comment but the guy in the forensic artist’s pic looked Hispanic. LD doesn’t look Hispanic

He is part Mexican tho

He is part Mexican tho

I think that's an error.

“As long as we have the ability to chase a lead, it’s not cold,” Chris Nanos said.

Tucson Crime Stoppers’ reward has grown by $100,000 thanks to a donation, bringing the total reward for information leading to an arrest to $102,500.

Tucson Crime Stoppers, known locally as 88-CRIME, announced the increased reward on social media earlier today, noting the $100,000 was being offered by a private donor.

“For the Guthrie case, the $100,000 donation has been verified and will be available to eligible tipsters once the verification process confirms that the tip directly resulted in an arrest,” James Allerton, the 88-Crime Program coordinator said.

This reward is in addition to the $100,000 reward offered by the FBI.

On his inmate info sheet? (Idk how you guys call that data form with info of the inmate, sorry )

 

[K.jill]

Was LD caught up in this because he purchased the wrong vehicle? If so I imagine the previous owner has been questioned and investigated.

Not too happy to hear this as polygraph rests are not fully reliable.
There is a reason they are not admissible in court and nobody should ever agree to take one---even if innocent.

I do have a question, if polygraphs aren’t admissible in court then why do people agree to them? Assuming this is a this scare tactic or a way to try to
force confessions? I’m assuming people agree to them to try to prove their innocence but what happens when you refuse one. Is it admissible in court to be used against you if a poly was refused?

I don’t think LD resembles the sketch. LD’s face looks long and the sketch has a square face, IMO.

I agree. Porch Guy has fuller lips as well.

On his inmate info sheet? (Idk how you guys call that data form with info of the inmate, sorry )

Yes. I may be wrong but it doesn't seem to match.

I only just read Adelita's quote and I REALLY do not think she is referring to Websleuths. The reporter Matt chose to use the word "sleuths" in his intro. IMO she is just referencing every man and his dog across all SM platforms... X, TT, FB, YT, IG et al who are making false accusations, assumptions, stating that multiple certain persons look EXACTLY like mask guy and repeating just about every other snippet of goss out there.

I read comments on Savannah's FB page yesterday and was flabbergasted by some of the theories posted TO SG about members of her family (WTF? on her own FB, to her!!) as well as other comments, ie - "why don't you put up $1 mil reward ??"

Social Media is literally out of control and insane!!

That's horrific that people are posting such cruel things on her fb. What is wrong with people

 

[submarine7]

That's what I'm interested in. Although there are many tangled webs in this case.

 

[maskedwoman]

FBI guy is right. Sophisticated criminals steal their gear or pay with cash at flea markets.

If Walmart is the perps “Criminal Depot”, he’s not sophisticated.

MOO

I agree that any specialized equipment would either be stolen, custom made, or bought with cash from somewhere well known to them. But you don't need specialized equipment to kidnap someone unless you're in a movie, or trying to kidnap the President or the CEO of a big company. You just need non descript clothing, and know enough about the person you're kidnapping to get the job done properly, which this person evidently did not, since they didn't research their victim well enough to know about her health. You have to know the family's ability and willingness to pay the ransom. And you have to figure out a transfer that will work. It seems the did a pretty poor job. MOOooo

The death of common sense

 

[Moonchime]

respectfully, do we actually know this? has it been confirmed?

moo

Good point. We actually don't know that Lantana man took NG out to a car. Perhaps it was a ruse. This case is unlike any other. I'm baffled.

Adding onto this: I'm not going to link, but a member of Adelita's staff was getting erroneously sleuthed on social media around the time the SWAT happened on Friday (when a wrong address was floating around), so that probably has some influence on her statement. JMO.

Are we allowed to discuss LD now?

Earlier, SillyBilly made (at my request) a statement that said we could not discuss LD as a possible suspect. However, I made that decision before I heard the Sheriff's statement. That interview is linked at the bottom of this post.
The Sheriff did not clear LD. He said they are still processing evidence and pointedly added, “What if Nancy’s DNA is found…,” making it clear the investigation remains open.

PLEASE USE HIS INITIALS. Since LE did not come out and say he was cleared, yes, LD can be discussed, but do not DOX him or post addresses and names of relatives.

PLEASE BE RESPONSIBLE. INITIALS ONLY

I don’t think this is likely if we are assuming at least some of the ransom notes were legitimate. I would also think there is probably some logical middle ground between “oops we robbed the wrong house” and “better kidnap the sole occupant and hold her for ransom.”

JMO

Concur. It just adds another theory to the mix, if an unlikely one. My view is if a perp went through the trouble of learning the occupants, their trade, their address and their wifi name, he's probably going to case it well and rob the right house.

And jewelry heist types don't generally rob people while they're home. Any unforeseen noise and they tend to take a raincheck.

JMO.

No, the prosecution can not use a refusal to take a polygraph against a defendant. Not admissible. Polygraphs are mostly pressure tactics. See who refuses and who "fails".
