Do homicide detectives dress so casually at crime scenes? Genuine question.
My brother in law was both a Lieutenant of Homicide and Major Crimes for the county, plus FBI, and he definitely dressed that casually, even when he appeared on Dateline.

Agree. My dad has similar roles.

Oh, ok my mistake then. I took it as family.

EDIT TO ADD: If that is the D.A. then they must have something, right?
Who knows? Who knows if it is the DA? Who knows? Usually they are on scene further down in a case. (After an arrest) They generally aren't part of the investigation.

I dont think so only because both women had on a blazer that seemed to match the skirt or slacks they were wearing. I did see the man with the cap too. I thought the ladies looked official or were in business attire. Not casually dressed like you might be if you were in seclusion and mourning or the way they looked on the videos. JMO
Agree that there weren't family at the house today, unless a family person was in the white vehicle that parked in the garage when the other vehicles left.

Most were well-dressed -- perhaps investigators, possibly experts in the FBI or in the private sector and possibly they were from the District Attorney's office. There are online photos of the PCDA leadership.

There were both inside and outside.

Fox speculates in their post that it is a bed. I see a rumpled up, patterned comforter on the right of the rug.
the left of the rug, possibly a table with a tablecloth. i see what people think is bedding with a shark pattern but on my computer it looks like a clear plastic bag with plastic bottles for recycling. Basically, who cares..not any kind of clue there that can be deciphered from this blob of an interior view of the casita except decorating taste !ol. JMO

Curious who they were and what they were doing there.

While I was hoping they were following a tip, given the professional clothing of most of the people, they didn't seem like the LE or FBI investigators.

We need to get back to basics thinking here. List 5 reasons someone would take a body with them?
1. I'll start embarrassment over sexual fantasy, evidence being found.
Old lady in dark desolate neighborhood is an easy target who lives alone. Ransom comes to mind for some reason.

Just hoping, but if it's a DA, maybe the million bucks offered caused some movement. jmo

They reliable or are they just assuming something will happen based on LE activity at the house today?
I would trust Brian Entin of News Nation. MMO

Yeah, but their job is to prosecute a case.

I recently went to a DA debate involving eight candidates. If was very informative. But it was pretty clear that they don't steer investigations etc. And at this point it's still an investigation. Generally, LE does the investigation and the DA determines if they have a case.

If the DA was there, I think maybe it was just in a "general sense", not because they have a suspect.....

My 92 yr old mother still drove in her neighborhood areas in spite of all in a mountainous area with all the above plus much population growth
Ageism and assumptions are sad
Not sad, it's reality.

Today is the first day I haven’t been able to keep up, so I offer the usual apologies if I’m duplicating ideas.

Someone shared this article earlier—thank you—and hopefully it’s coming through on a gift (free) link below. The mention of DE’s eyes reminded me to ask a question here. When one orders a new pair of eyeglasses, they measure pupil distance. The eyes of masked lanatana man are indeed distinctive, and I’d argue far apart as well. How strange is the idea to try to get a pupil distance measurement from the video and use it when questioning suspects? Have I had too much or too little coffee? Interested in your thoughts.


Online Accusations in Guthrie Abduction Leave One Family ‘Scared Numb’
 
  • #39,377
Guthrie’s family is now offering a $1 million reward for information that leads to her recovery after more than three weeks of searching. NewsNation’s Brian Entin reported that the family wanted to offer this reward from the beginning, but was discouraged by law enforcement.

Bradley said he understands why the family was advised to withhold such a high reward, as “there’s a fine line between what it might take to incentivize the person with information to come forward … or worrying about bringing the crazies out of the woodwork if you make the reward too much.”

I think we can safely assume that it did.
 
  • #39,379
I feel they should have made the one-million-dollar reward much earlier in the piece

Money talks

There was a lack of urgency. $50,000 in the beginning "Didn't cut the mustard" and it was poor advice

Possibilities:
2. NG saw the face of a perp and may have known them or they were afraid she'd remember them.
3. NG died and they took her body so they couldn't be accused of murder.
4. If she was raped, their semen could possibly provide significant genetic information about them
