I Watched the video excitedly hoping for that but alas I don’t think that is what he said. He seems to be talking about other cameras. At one point I thought he might slip up or was hesitant but I listened twice. It would have been nice though because what he said at the presser was ‘we do not have it’ so that would be pedantic (but that is how they do these things!)

Honestly, the investigation behind the scenes are being held from the public. I'm sure they have much more evidence gathered and probably have a suspect they are investigating,

This crime smells of family tragedy. Someone in the family knows who has kidnapped/hurt/murdered Nancy. It's so suspicious that it cannot be an random person. We've seen too many times in these cases it's usually the last person(s) who was with Nancy.

Most suspicious to me, why did Nancy take an Uber to Annie's house unless Annie couldn't pick her up. Was Annie and her husband having an argument that Nancy tried to help with so she called an Uber to get her to their house just 10 minutes away? Why couldn't Annie pick Nancy up? This is really bothering me. Whoever dropped her off at her house, Thomaso, had to have something to do with Nancy's disappearance. Maybe it was an accident and the family is trying to cover it up.

There is a documented history of burglaries turning into sexual homicides. It’s rare, but it happens.

And that might explain why her body was removed, if she was not taken from the house alive (forensic evidence).

You can't just go out and get POA on someone. It's not like taking out a life insurance policy and faking a signature. NG would need to have requested the POA and consulted a lawyer, then sign the document in front of the drafting attorney and a notary (sometimes the same person). I have guardianship, conservatorship, and durable POA over my mom who is now in memory care. Believe me when I say that there is a lot that goes into having a POA drafted for oneself, and also being assigned POA.

No, listen again at 2:00 min mark. Host was specifically asking about the doorbell cam and Sheriff Nanos talks about how they "sent in that device to do analysis" of it to the company.

Thanks for sharing this. So maybe she wasn't at an in-person church service after all. And we've been told that her regular church, which I'm pretty sure is St. Andrew's Presbyterian, does a livestream in which parishioners can't see who else is on (and maybe the church can't either).

So this definitely raises the question of who or what triggered the initial search. I do wonder -- could the church also have had some sort of online Zoom meeting after the livestream where her absence might've been noted? Something like a Bible study group? But that's just speculation on my part.

I believe the sheriff said the ring doorbell was taken. He doesn’t have it.

All of that is already known by Pima, for sure. IMO, this casts the light squarely on AG and the SIL.

I can’t buy into the ransom thing.
I believe the person that took her may be the person that wrote the note but only did so as a red herring. I believe the cops think the same thing.

I heard an investigator say that sometimes the older (in this case elderly) the victim of SA, the younger the offender. IMO

The perps spent scant time at this house even if you allow them the entire period from the camera going offline to the pacemaker disconnecting. Perhaps as little as 10-15 minutes. The purpose of the break-in seems to have been to grab her.

I started by leaning toward a plan where they take her to a bank or ATM, perhaps the next day. However, when the case blew up in the media, they changed their plans.

Now that we know she left all of her ID and belongings at home, that cannot be the case; how would she use her bank card if it's at home.

That leaves some other reason.

Money, Love/Sex, Revenge?

I can't imagine a way that she is still alive.

There has to be a reason she was abducted. If it was not ransom, what do you think it was?

This is only true if you hire an attorney first who walks you through it. People CAN just obtain a form and have their loved one sign in front of a witness and then it's filed with the county court.

This has probably already been asked, but do we know that none of her daily medications are missing? Edit to add: I'm thinking like pills taken from a bottle and the bottle being left there or possibly extra bottles being taken? I know one of my medications is dispensed for 3 months at a time so I have multiple bottles of it at any given time.
