Teacher in band with Nancy Guthrie's son-in-law says his HOME was mobbed by ghouls who accused him of abducting her, leaving his son, 6, petrified

[…]

Dominic Evans, 48, an elementary school teacher and drummer in a band with Tommaso Cioni, said his life was turned upside down when he was incorrectly named online as a person of interest.

He told the New York Times that his family were left fearing for their lives when a mob showed up at his home and demanded he be arrested, despite police sharing no public evidence linking him to the 84-year-old's disappearance.

The only tenuous link appeared to be a picture of an unidentified suspect wearing a mask outside Nancy's home on the night she vanished in the early hours of February 1, which some online claimed matched Evans' eyes.

Evans' arrest in 1999 for stealing a calculator and a watch from a bar was enough to cement him as a suspect on social media, with some claiming he abducted Nancy with Cioni - who has also faced a wave of false allegations that he was involved.

The teacher said his son was with his grandmother when the abuse began on February 10, and the mob outside their home forced the six-year-old to spend his first ever night away from his parents because they were too afraid to leave their home.

'It was all night looking through the window, trying to not let any light out of our home,' Evans' wife added, describing herself as 'scared numb' by the situation.

Evans said he was briefly interviewed by investigators about the disappearance, and the Times said he was often 'near tears' as he recounted the experience of being hounded by social media sleuths.

'I feel like someone’s taken my name,' he said. Asked for what reason he was targeted, he responded: 'I don’t know - monetary, clickbait, to be relevant, entertainment - but there are innocent people that get hurt.'

They reliable or are they just assuming something will happen based on LE activity at the house today?

Definitely, all people that i have seen were ones working on the case imo

If family was there I haven’t seen any evidence of it

Agree. Family wasn't there unless they were in the white vehicle that pulled into garage. And, since the white vehicle arrived the same time as the other vehicles, I'm inclined to think they were also investigators. Possibly some were DA's office.

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.

Forensic opthamologist? Is there such a thing? Switch from the coffee to a little scotch straight up..my clue for the day! hahaha Who would subject themselves to that measurement test pre or post arrest? I mean not a bad idea but I dunno. Creative thinking though. I like it! jmo

I'm with you. I'm a very health 53 year old and I haven't liked driving at night probably for the last 20 years. I just don't see as good as I did in my 20's.

I am 66 and stopped driving at night in my 50s, and stopped altogether at 60. You just don't feel confident at a certain point.

I need to catch up, but these people dressed in suites don’t look like detectives. I’m not trying to stereotype or be disrespectful, but thoughts?

They look like lawyers to me.

Sheriff said she was taken from her bed. So the obvious conclusion is that there was evidence of her being treated forcibly in her bed. No digital footprint, no vehicle connection, no dna, no facial description no eye whitenesses the night of the crime. she just dropped blood at the front and vanished.

Maybe NG’s digital footprint has provided this information. Whether it was her pacemaker app or her smart watch (did she still have it and was she wearing it), there’s potentially two digital sources showing when NG was woken up. At the very least, her pacemaker app should show a big spike in heart rate when she was confronted if she wasn’t wearing her watch.

Interesting. It appears they were covering their mouths when talking to each other. Wise. IMO

I noticed that, too, but not all of them were covering their mouths.

if it's any help to anyone, I found glasses with the special anti-glare coating helped a ton driving at night with the oncoming neutron star headlights.

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

5. Hiding evidence, no body no crime…
6. Take body, pose as a kidnapper ask for ransom

I only noticed it in front of the garage before they all went in and the door closed. IMO

So the $1mm reward is very fresh. Let's say someone started singing. Perhaps LE is at the house trying to validate what was shared. Wouldn't it be a bit quick for a "major update" to be shared today?

They look like lawyers to me (I am one so no stereotyping or disrespect meant, but those are lawyer suits ).

FBI definitely wear suits in my experience, or at least a shirt with a jacket. But not a skirt and heels.

Agree. My husband and I are in our 70’s. We hate driving at night, with street lights and cars. It gets very difficult as you grow older. I am not going anywhere in the black of night with no street lights.

Cars have awesome headlights

I just don't think that the family would leave the gated community they were reported to be staying in and risk being mobbed and/or followed by the media. MOO.

 

[cait2007]

That’s what I was thinking. I just don’t see why having lawyers there would be important for where the investigation is right now. Unless, there is much more going on than we know.

 

[303gmf]

Not sad, it's reality.

It’s sad to me that there are so many negative assumptions and infantilizing of older humans
