Just to emphasize this — I have a camera that regularly tells me a person was detected in my back yard. 99% of the time, it's a particular tree we have that's blowing in the wind. These things are far from perfect, so we shouldn't take them as rock solid fact.
What ever 'medium' law enforcement decide to convey information, it needs to be 'clear', the clearer it is, the more 'engagement' they will get from members of the public. Once it becomes a 'blur' people will lose interest and not 'engage'.One of the risks to an investigation like this is – much of it has to be done behind the curtain, (and) it’s important that certain things don’t leak out. And under this kind of spotlight, that can become very difficult,” said Miller, who has worked in both local and federal law enforcement.
Media outlets have largely been cooperative so far, though. “Three different television outlets who received a series of purported ransom notes and demands – possibly real, possibly fake – have been disciplined about not revealing sensitive details about those documents,” Miller said.
Stories regarding possible tension between the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, even if they are representative of the mood on the ground, can also be harmful to progress, he added.
“None of this is helpful to the atmosphere and progress of the investigation,” Miller said.
The 3 biggest challenges as the Nancy Guthrie case stretches into week 3
CNN, FBI, SAVANNAH GUTHRIE , INSTAGRAM, KOLD, Savannah Guthrie / Instagram By Elizabeth Hartfield, CNN (CNN) — It’s been 16 days since Nancy Guthrie was reported missing, and investigators working the case that has captivated the nation’s attention are encountering a unique mix of challenges...abc17news.com
I have followed quite a few cases here on WS and I would say that in the majority of those cases, at least some of what the media reported was untrue. You also have to consider that the investigators are not telling us everything to protect the investigation. Sometimes, you just have to sit tight and wait. MOO

Didn't say anything whatsoever about a dealer plate being on the vehicle. One can plainly see that it has a paper tag. Fraud is rampant with paper tags. A criminal wouldn't prioritize getting a metal plate onto a car. They would probably just slap another paper tag onto it. Then sell the car. The new owner wouldn't always necessarily be issued a new metal plate right away because it takes a minute to transfer the title.

I couldn’t agree more. The timeline and initial reporting came too soon to have been the result of forensic work on the devices. I think it came from phone alerts and a poor understanding of tech. That isn’t a criticism. It was what they had at the time. (The wording around the pacemaker event is a prime example.)
Not buying that this guy knows things. These mails are so generic and easily manufactured without a single shred of proof added. Someone is simply trying to cash in on a tragedy.
PLEASE I AM BEGGING AND BEGGING AND BEGGING AND BEGGING. POST LINKS TO YOUR PICTURES.
I’m replying to myself here to bring up this tweet again where the former police lieutenant suggests the suspect was wearing body armor. I haven’t heard that mentioned anywhere else and I have a hard time seeing it. What do you all think? Just another guy giving his opinion?
Yeah, I just listened and agree. Forget unknown profile (as in no match to any existing players in the case). It's still being cross checked. Jmo
No, imo. All the click bait and poorly worded media articles are confusing people. They found gloves less than 2 miles from the home that MIGHT be the gloves worn by Lantana man (or someone else involved for all we know). This is the "match" that they made: the gloves look alike), no dna match has been reported. They sent the gloves for testing (in FL) and the testing revealed male dna. This dna will (after some confirmation/science stuff to be performed by FBI
will be entered into the codis database. I know certain countries don't tend to do heritage DNA (Italy for example) so IF the perp was from Mexico (as an example as it is closeby to Tuscon) then I wonder if that country does much DNA?An expert on genetic genealogy has said that DNA collected from Nancy Guthrie’s property will help law enforcement find the person responsible for the disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie.
CeCe Moore, the chief genetic genealogist at Parabon Nanolabs, said investigators can use the DNA that was recovered in a process called Investigative Genetic Genealogy, or IGG. That involves uploading information to a genealogy database to look for possible relatives of the person whose DNA was found at the scene and thus, identify possible suspects.
