I'm having an incredibly hard time grasping that all manner of LE people would take off their gloves and just drop them willy nilly all over the ground for miles around, never mind at the property. It's so insane to think about, I don't believe it. Until I hear that statement from the mouths of LE, I choose to think that what the journalist ( whoever that was ) said about that was taken out of context.
Abduction is what I would call it. The ransom demands were too late for this to be a kidnapping imo.
I've been wondering if PCSD even has a PIO. Has anyone heard from (or of) one? I'm not that familiar with this field, but I know that the agencies around me all have PIOs, and all of the local press have relationships with them. Is Pima County too small of an agency to have someone in this role?
When you quote from another source a link must be provided. That is my understanding. My post was all musing and was stated as IMO< JMO ETC. My "other source" is the possible thought process of a deranged potential perpetrator.
One thought I had too is that they would have to consider the risk of attracting predators, such as coyotes, rodents or javelin, to the site or the remains causing the animals to follow and attack them as they are carried.Based on this article it sounds as if digging in the desert would be quite difficult.
If you try to dig a hole in your yard in Tucson, chances are that you will soon hit a very hard, almost impenetrable layer.
Caliche – natural concrete, can you dig it?

The term “caliche” is a colloquial word that means different things in different places. In the Sonoran Desert, it means a mixture of gravel, sand, clay and other desert debris cemented by porous calcium carbonate and is more properly called a calcic horizon. These calcic horizons generally occur two to four feet below the surface and can be inches to many feet thick. Caliche forms only in arid and semi-arid areas. In Tucson, with an average annual rainfall of 10 to 12 inches, caliche forms more than ten inches below the surface.
Are you suggesting a staged kidnapping or intended kidnap which somehow turned to murder?
Sheriff could certainly have found your knowledge helpful, and he certainly should have a PIO in charge of communication. IMO, he's been overwhelmed by the extensive media and isn't knowledgable in strategic communication. Not too late for Sheriff to hire a PIO and have them do, as you say, damage control and ret the narrative. JMO
I agree if it's a kidnapper who is technologically savvy and knew what they were doing so to speak but then why was there a time gap in sending the ransom note? And why no proof of life? Surely they knew if they're smart that would be necessary. I know there are no real answers to these questions at this point.
I agree.
Replying to myself, there is at least a PIO role listed on the org chart (but not with a name). I couldn't find much more info out there, but maybe someone else can. Source: https://pimasheriff.org/application/files/2117/6462/2321/Organization_Chart_12_2025.pdf
True. Plus, apple and samsung watches also provide fall alerts. She may have felt a life alert was not needed because of that.
Mexico would be a great idea but I'm guessing it would have been too dangerous for them to drive through Border Control with a body in their car. MOO
If the print was taken using a powder or tape method, you may be able to obtain dna from the print or the surface from where the print was taken. On the other hand, if they swabbed for dna first, the print would likely be destroyed or unusable. I believe the FBI was at the scene where the RR was parked. Their forensic expertise is likely much more up to date than local/smaller agencies’.

We also do not know what the govt's capabilities are boosting their own sniffer's range. Which I am sure is a closely held secret. I have looked for this everywhere on the web and 0 credible mention of it. NGs pacer range would be somewhat irrelevant if the govt has made significant advances in the sniffer they are using.
Sorry to keep coming back to the garage door—those of you with app-controlled garage doors, what could result in only an “approximate” open time but a definitive close time?
