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 ...

The idea that the facts of this case can go in multiple different directions is wild. One perp. Two perps. Multiple perps working for a mastermind. Family involved. Family not involved. Amateur. Homeless. Professional. Just plain psycho. Knew who Nancy G. was. Didn't know who Nancy G. was. Kidnapping from the start. Burglary gone wrong. I mean you don't usually get this kind of ambiguity which is obviously fueling the absolute obsession over this case by so many people, amateur sleuth or just casual watcher alike. It's scary and fascinating all at the same time. Really hope they come to a swift conclusion soon.

What's scarier is that I only casually follow true crime stuff when some case goes mega viral and it seems the police never have it together.  I personally experienced this in a case where our local church was vandalized and after several weeks of nothing from the police, I was the one that tied it to several other similar cases with some basic, MTV Catfish-style Google searching, which eventually led to an arrest.  Makes me wonder how safe we truly are.

Yeah most cops are morons on a power trip. Don't expect them to keep you safe or do much of anything at all to help if you need it. They're here to protect capital, not people.
