Can le tell if the wifi was turned off by the homeowner and then turned back on later as opposed to something outside the house interfering with it?

Look at the people in the photo. Look at the A/C unit. Look at the height of the circuit breaker. Standing on the A/C unit would still not bring perp to circuit breaker, imo

Could the patio chair help reach it if placed on the AC unit? I appreciate you sharing this picture

 

[Sadi]

Yup. It's all about making it hard for the criminal.

I have some wireless ones still for extra range, but the wired are the backbone.

Thank you

I saw a security expert suggest people place cameras opposite each other in key places so if a suspicious person spots your camera and turns away they are on camera. Good idea.

Probably not without getting access to their devices, so if a neighbour was lying about it for some reason, they'd need a warrant first (and something to justify getting a warrant).

I’m thinking that too, does it mean something is going to happen soon? What would they share this publicly?

I don't think it necessarily means that. But I do think Investigators are interested why that single camera was offline and what the significance of it is.

They checked with multiple neighbors to see if they had similar issues to likely try to rule out some widespread issue.

It could end up being just a coincidence and not significant but I do believe investigators were interested enough to circle back.

As I'm sure they had information of that particular camera not recording fairly early on. JMO

You guys…I’ve somehow managed to get my husband now interested and involved with this case. He’s a retired police officer (over 20 years experience). So instead of me being fixated on this case, we both are. Cheers!

Here is a front view of the AC and breaker unit. Someone standing on that AC unit could easily reach that breaker.

Ummm angles and stuff.

That control panel isn't as high as you think it is.

In Arizona, outdoor electrical control panels and service disconnects must be installed with the top operating handle no more than 6 feet 7 inches (79 inches) above the final grade or working platform, per NEC standards

I suppose but a/c units have that grating on the top protecting the fan. So precarious at best. Then, in the dark?????? nah. My stalker did this all by himself. He was delusional and deadly in love with SG. He did this all fairly simply. Dressed to intimidate and conceal, went through home for SG souvenirs, harassed with ransom notes to get SG's attention. made her beg and plead and repeat or answer certain things contained in the ransom notes . Things that they have not told us. Words the perp used to elicit answers which SG then did in her Instagram videos. IMO, it doesnt matter if the WIFI was jammed, the outfit was cheap, the electricity was on or off or the lantana was tested for DNA!

This was an obsessed ,articulate, well educated or at least quiet, sensitive guy who became an unhinged, haunted stalker who was covertly in love with SG. He went from shy and admiring to full on Rambo. JMO

This Google article goes counter to that, assuming NG had one of the mentioned models (don't think we know that for sure)

Yes, agree. Most decent wifi security cameras are specifically engineered to accomodate wifi disruptions, in the case of the Nest, up to one hour. A wifi jammer would not stop the camera from recording the video into it's internal memory, then uploading that video to the servers once a wifi connection is restored. Wifi disruptions occur naturally all the time. IF the perp used a jammer and then moved out of jamming range for that camera, that camera would upload the video, thus rendering the jamming useless. Destroying the camera is necessary to stop the upload if wifi is going to be restored at any point. JMO, jamming is effective for preventing real time notifications, but not videos.

I've asked this before and not sure if it's been answered. Was NG removed from her home in her pj's/nightgown? Does anyone know if the perp made her change clothes?

I’ve always wondered if that was part of the 40 minutes inside — they had her change clothes. I don’t think we’ve had any information on what NG might have been wearing or what was in her hamper, etc. Only my wondering. OMO.

You’ve never been swayed your “My Stalker“ theory and I love that!

 

[EncyclopediaBrownJr]

If this perp used a signal jammer, wouldn’t there be some evidence of that on the pacemaker app via the smartphone? I mean it didn’t get disconnected from the smartphone until 2:28am.

Yes...my point exactly. She might have gotten hurt if she begrudgingly changed...JMO

 

[you betcha]

At the February 2nd presser when a reporter asked the Sheriff if there was any threat to the public he said although there is crime in Tucson there is not people kidnapping elderly people from their home every night.

IMO, as long as someone who can kidnap an elderly lady from her bed is still out there, there's absolutely a danger to the public. If he doesn't want to frighten the public, there are better ways to say it.

I hear you but I think from very early on they believed that Nancy was targeted.

BBM nobody said every night but there are people kidnapping 84 year olds. I think the public deserves honesty about the need to be more cautious.

This is a GREAT point, as the radius of effect would move with the perp.

It would explain a lot of what went on with the cameras (from what we know).

Brian didn’t say which neighbor or even if they live on the same street or just live in her neighborhood.

Based on the CourtTV livestream reporter from Feb 5th, it is an adjacent neighbor. I'm sure you could use Google StreetView to find out which adjacent neighbor has red brick exterior. It would be interesting if it is the neighbor where the disturbed rocks were found, which I think is the neighbor to the left of Nancy's house if you are facing her house.
