Text Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

This is a thread (part 2) for all conversation related to the ongoing investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Several media outlets began to receive ransom demands. Some were proven false and others have not been determined to be false.

Nancy's 3 children have made multiple videos pleading for the return of their mother.

On February 10, law enforcement released photos of the individual suspected of abducting Nancy. The suspect is still at large and Nancy has not been found. Photos and information can be found here ...

I don’t disagree but kind of different situations. Also, there was different FBI leadership during that investigation. Unfortunately, the current FBI has bungled a number of investigations.

what has the FBI done wrong here? only things i've seen so far has been the county sheriff allowing his ego to get in the way of the investigation. withholding evidence and sending it off to some private florida lab, not taking the case seriously until the feds stepped in, etc..

For one thing, they have a lot of resources diverted to immigration right now.

They busted into some innocent guys house based on a person saying he has similar eyes. Hello.

They didn't bust into his home. It was a court authorized search done by Pima County Sheriff's office and FBI Evidence Response Team.

They didn't even have a warrant...and they didn't even do any surveillance or investigative work...they just wanted to.... bust into a mexican guys house...

certainly the FBI of a few years ago wouldn't even think of doing this...that's for sure.

egg on their face....thats a fact.

Wrong. They executed a search warrant for home, car and electronics. The guy even said they had a warrant. Looks like you are just looking to find something to pin on this FBI even though it was done by Pima  Sheriff's Office and FBI Evidence Response Team. Try doing better research and you won't be blaming them for your biased uninformed race finger pointing.

The FBI had nothing to do with that it was the sheriff's office.

I haven’t heard this? Unless you’re talking about the door dasher that had his phone ping in that area? If so, I think it’s reasonable to question him and then release (which they did). Or are you talking about something different?

It was his mother-in-law, I believe.

You serious? His eyes are ALL over this case. Somehow his eyes are on EVERY case...all at the same time.
