I also feel hopeful they are building a case against someone or more than one person. Would a qualifier be taking her across the border?

What two qualifiers are you referring to? Thanks.

Or the commission of a crime resulting in death.

The reason I had pause about the ransom note being legit at first is because they asked for so much money.
I figured the delay could be explained away by giving them adequate time to get a good distance away.

I mean why 4 million? Then 6 million?
That is a ridiculous amount.

Which is why I thought the motive could be money for weapons of war by a terrorist organization.
Which is outrageous but so was the amount of ransom demanded.

And it's not like they are going to flat out state, "Hey give us 4 million for w.o.w and we will give Nancy back."

I would think that if it was deemed that a crime occurred in a specific area, it could be considered federal, i.e. a national park like in the Gabby Petito case.

JMO.

I guess it's possible they got a confession and wanted to try to validate some things. I could see an announcement forthcoming about that, whereas I'm not sure why LE would tell the public they got a promising tip.

One last walk thru and review of the evidence before they pull off the case to focus on other cases?

Atleast that’s my take

Or because the family wants to have the home cleaned and put back in order after the invasion and all the mess from the crime scene investigation?

I was watching a live stream in front of NG house when some activity started picking up on you tube earlier today and snatched a screen shot. I was kinda amazed at how well the white truck is obscured even In daylight from this direct angle. Anyone would miss this in pitch dark unless you were looking for something out of place. A vehicle with no lights would very easily be missed at night. Especially if only there for a a short while.

Seems to me if SG said "taken from her bed" she must know that much, so there must be evidence of that. jmo

AG and TC also went to the house when NG didn't show up at her friend's house. So they saw the scene very clearly. The Sheriff probably has said more to the family than to us. Just a wild guess. Also, JMO

 

[Sticksandspades]

Yes. And, knowing she’s working with LE, I wonder she why included that since Nanos tried to walk it back initially? MOO

That would make sense, because I don't believe she woke up and answered the door.

 

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

You think? I’m thinking, from experience, an arrest will be announced soon and we all know how more media than what’s already there will be everywhere including gawkers. Soo I’m thinking there is a news conference coming soon! We can hope!

I hope you're right. Certainly is a possibilty.

Kidnapping cases can turn federal just by this:
"If a victim is not released within 24 hours, there is a presumption they have been transported across state or international lines, allowing federal agencies to intervene."

When Does a Kidnapping Become a Federal Crime?

Also, I have a Paralegal degree. However, I have never worked in that field.

Sounds like the crowd would have lynched him if they could or attempted to destroy his property. People are crazy. They really thought because he stole a calculator/watch 25 years ago, he abducted an 84 yr old woman?

Well, to be honest, he is a dead ringer for the video guy.

So Sorry, I thought it did link. It’s a screen shot from this live stream

 

[iluvmyelement]

White vans make sense also if from the Medical Examiner's office/County Coroner...

Agreed - they definitely use unmarked minivans - but I saw the majority of funeral homes also use them now. I think the traditional "hearses" are only used now for ceremonies (e.g. funerals) based on my observations here in Tucson.

Seems to me if SG said "taken from her bed" she must know that much, so there must be evidence of that. jmo

I think they have evidence that she went to bed but I don't know if her blood was found in her bed. PCSD believes she went to bed. Nanos wonders if she got up to go to the restroom or got up to go to the refrigerator.
That makes me think her blood was found somewhere besides in her bed.
AB's source said the blood from inside matched the pattern of blood outside. Passive drops falling from a height.

Kind of makes you wonder if they were just checking to see if a vehicle could be RIGHT THERE and still out of sight of the camera. Well, it makes me think that.

Seriously ? How do you make that out when so little of Lantana man can be seen ??

That's a huge leap from "some resemblance in the eyes" to "dead ringer"

Comments like this is how the nonsense starts.

A million dollars will not buy certainty. It can, however, buy motion.

'It applies psychological pressure on any accomplices,' Pack said. He described ransom schemes involving multiple people as 'inherently unstable' and suggested the passage of time makes the temptation sharper for the weakest link, because 'the financial disparity between holding out and collecting $1 million starts eating at the weakest link'. Pack framed the reward as a message to anyone on the periphery, 'your partners are not going to protect you. We will. It preserves moral offramps.'

Nancy Guthrie Update: Why An FBI Expert Thinks The $1 Million Reward Will Solve The Case

Savannah Guthrie has announced a $1 million family reward as the search for her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues. A retired FBI agent says the sum could create 'psychological pressure' that prompts someone in the suspect's orbit to talk.

NewsNation’s Brian Entin reports this was something the family wanted to do from the beginning but were discouraged by law enforcement, citing concerns tip hotlines would immediately be flooded with false leads. Now, 1,500 new tips have come in since the reward was announced, the FBI said.

The private reward comes as the search for the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie nears a month.

I’m not sure if this has anything to do at all with NG, but SG’s co-host Carson Daly posted this on his Instagram earlier.

I don't think he has anything new to do with NG being returned. I simply think he's another person who wants to make a statement so his name is in the news. Sorry, but it's disgusting that people want to seem relevant and piggyback off a tragedy, expecially on someone who is his co-host. MOO
