AG's vehicle was reportedly towed the next morning.
Does it though? Does it mean she was alive or does it just mean the pacemaker was working? LE haven't said anything about what they know about actual pacemaker / app readings, just the disconnect point. It would stay connected even if she was deceased. The readings from it would presumably say much more about NG's condition, but they haven't mentioned anything about that.

Authorities are inside the house.

Went to the house twice. First time to fake a drop off. Second time, they removed watch and took the rest of belongings to stage a kidnapping event?
Hate to say this, but she could have been at the house at 2:00am, or rather close enough (in a car?) so that the pacemaker would sync with the watch/phone at her house.

I believe the ransom is a separate matter.

True but if a crime has happened at AG's house, there would be many things happening in a space of a few hours if they were trying to conceal something
Could have been opened and closed remotely via cell phone. So possibly when all were still at AG’s.
He did. IMO, he misspoke or used exaggerated language to mean that she vanished at night, a time when she would have typically been in bed. He had no evidence she was actually literally taken from her bed.
More Lifetime or Oxygen, less Hallmark. I'm not picturing a lovely ending here.

Plus, don't both the phone and the watch likely have functioning GPS? So if they were syncing with her pacemaker but at a location other than her home, wouldn't the devices' location services make that known? MOO

That's how it appeared with the info he had at the time, was told she was brought home at about 10 ish I think by her daughter/son law whose house she had dinner at. He had to have seen the bed slept in, and other things that showed of course, she was missing and the time her pacemaker was not connected to her watch I guess, was about 2 ish. So to anyone, it appeared of course she was abducted from 'her bed'. IMO
I just read this:
Yes, pacemakers may continue sending electrical signals even after death, as they are not designed to recognize when a person has passed.

Something I keep coming back to is how unusual it is that whoever is behind this has not been traced yet, especially given the amount of digital activity reportedly involved.
What makes it interesting is that the same privacy tools often discussed in cases like this are not exclusive to criminals. Journalists operating in dangerous environments regularly use encrypted communication, anonymity networks, and secure operating systems to protect themselves and their sources in life-or-death situations. Those tools are designed to reduce traceability and protect identity, not just for wrongdoing, but for legitimate safety and confidentiality.
However, even with strong privacy tools, perfect anonymity does not really exist. In most real investigations, people are eventually identified not because the technology “fails,” but because small correlations appear over time. Behavioral patterns, timing, metadata, or a single verified link between identity and activity can collapse the anonymity layer.
So the real question is not just what tools are being used, but whether investigators have found the one small connection that ties a real person to the critical timeline. In many cases, once that happens, everything else starts to align.
Just an observation for discussion.

I think the sheriff did say that - but i wasn't clear if that was factual/evidenced-based information or it was more colloquial...in the middle of the night the elderly lady was "taken from her bed" meaning "kidnapped from her home".
