I mean, sketch artists don't necessarily get every single feature perfectly-especially in this case where we see no features. To be fair of course we don't even know if this person is involved.

It's not about fairness ... you can see the differences in the images for yourself and like I said, I don't know how closely sketch artists typically get. Clearly, there are more differences than similarities between those two images, IMO.

Back to that calling card from Adult Protective Services. How the heck did ANYONE get near that house undetected and get to the front door with all the media and cops etc crawling all over the place? When was it placed there , if anyone knows? jmo

Very puzzling. I'm confident that LE called the woman whose name was on the card to get further information. JMO

Well, since they have not located NG yet, it seems to be a safe location - for now.

Cheers,

Maybe I have more of a criminal mind, but I would be long gone from Tucson.

"So we're working with our Walmart managers all across the state to try to find out how many sales there were of that backpack in the last 20, 30 days, the last 60 days."

Authorities have also ruled out suspicions that Nancy had been taken across the border to Mexico, which is located 60 to 70 miles from her home.

"To be clear…the Guthrie family – to include all siblings and spouses – has been cleared as possible suspects in this case. The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious, and are victims in this case," Sheriff Nanos said in a statement.

"To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple."

New twist in Nancy Guthrie case as reward doubles to $200K

The reward for any information that leads to the arrest of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper has doubled thanks to an anonymous donation. See details.

www.hellomagazine.com

Investigators have received tens of thousands of tips about Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, with total calls to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department more than 50% higher than for the same period last year.

The tips are on top of the evidence already gathered and still being analyzed.
Serious leads are evaluated in a command center at the sheriff’s department that Sheriff Chris Nanos describes as similar to operations at the FBI command

Nanos said technology and legal considerations create unique challenges that can delay decision-making at his level while ground-level investigators continue moving forward.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said while there are disagreements between agencies, he said the different perspectives help the investigation.

Dumb question here, but...when LE put up that white tent a few days back, were they (wondering out loud here) also checking those front porch pots for fingerprints? (I understand that sounds kind of obvious, but, well, sometimes "obvious" things are overlooked. Just saying.)

My impression was that they weree trying to simulate what the lighting was like in the middle of the night. JMOO

This may have already been covered and missed by me, but we know NG took medication detrimental to her health. Do we know how long that she can possibly go without it?

detrimental to her health?

 

[MesquiteO21]

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.

I’m completely baffled

I agree, I think this is one of those things that LE knows but we don't and it may never be disclosed.

 

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

would you also take a look at his other hand? When a colorized AI pic was posted it was obvious he was holding something that had a strap/string attached. What is it?

Good catches. Might be interesting to try to figure these things out in case they are significant things. JMOO

 

[Trino]

Perhaps FBI advised strongly against SG offering a reward for the return of her mother or perhaps FBI had serious questions about the validity of the people communicating with them about NG. JMO

Wouldn't a SG reward bring forth the culprits, if we think NG is being held for ransom?

Wondering where these reporters go to the restroom!

Good question!

Wear adult diapers?

Sheriff says it was put there on the day she was reported missing

It is just one theory in a sea of other theories that have no evidence.

A motive could be to obtain the 4 or 6 million ransom in Bitcoin where the currency can easily be changed.

The first ransom note author is sophisticated and they have yet to track him.

The role of cryptocurrency in financing terrorist organizations

Shortly after the Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, the U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned a virtual currency exchange in Gaza that it said had facilitated transactions for Hamas using decentralized digital currencies. Former federal prosecutor Ari Redbord joins Ali Rogin to discuss how...

As a small experiment, I tried to roughly estimate the time of this video using shadow length. Huge caveat here that this is very, very rough.

I started with this frame.

View attachment 646451

Then I made a very basic ratio of height (foot to top of head) and shadow length (top of head to end of head shadow).

View attachment 646452

The ratio: 20 blocks / 33 blocks = 0.6

Then, using mooncalc,com, I set the date to Feb 1 and placed the location at Nancy's home.

View attachment 646453

With a object to shadow ratio of 0.6, I adjusted the time slider until the shadow length grew to 1.05 meters (1.75 meters x 0.6).

The corresponding time is approximately 02:20.

View attachment 646454

So, likely that just means my methodology is sloppy if the clip is from 02:12, but it's fairly close. Closer to 02:12 that 01:47, anyway.

Is there anything to be learned from this? No. lol

Another example why I love this group. So many very smart people. Thanks for sharing this.

 

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

I believe one reason we have talked about Mexico is in one of the emails TMZ got the guy said he saw NG with them 5 days ago.

Very specific and strange for a person to say that since they are then possibly implementing themselves in this crime, and if it's a true statement, he's also putting himself at risk of being silenced by the primary perpetrator(s). MOO

 

[MesquiteO21]

Right when she went missing the sheriff said she would need it within 24 hours

Good question. I have recent experience dealing directly with Arizona APS (in Yuma, tho, which is 240 miles away from Tucson) and I can 100% guarantee that they do not work weekends. My mom's caseworker is very, VERY good and extremely responsive.[\OFFTOPIC]

I'm just wondering with all these comments, what is the implication of this card having being left? The sheriff has addressed it which was posted up above. What makes it such an issue?

Brilliant analysis. The timing of all of this matters, I think, and after their initial presser with the times, LE hasn't detailed too much to the public about their further thoughts of the times of everything.

If the suspeccts were really in the house for 41 minutes, that seems like quite a bit of time. Curious what they were doing . . .
