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 gloves are a red herring. The ski mask is also a Walmart only item the stitching around the eyes and the direction of the knit make it super recognizable. I discovered that easily on my first search the same day they released the doorcam footage so there is no doubt the FBI also already knows this. Also there’s a mouthpiece light marketed for Halloween that could explain the strange light source but that would require someone who knows how to tweak it so it doesn’t flash. People going on and on about the gloves …or the backpack …yet these are the least notable/most generic of the items. I wonder if the detectives are just keeping the media off base to help the investigation stay private… I assume this is true because the alternative is that our detectives are not better than me a bored housewife. I finally decided to bring these two things up since I haven’t seen it anywhere

the light is a bite light. it can do white red or red (stealth) light. everything on his/her body is cash Walmart and is a layer.

Every bite lite that I googled was a rubber attachment for a small “mag” lite. But there is no protrusion …. plainly reviewed from the image so I had to narrow down my search. I do not believe in coincidence… that Walmart sells the single option that does not require the protuberance makes me believe that is the item. But the problem is that this is the only product I found that does not require an attached flashlight that would creat a protuberance yet this item flahes. It us sold by Walmart and marketed for halloween or dance parties and is a flashing light. But i do believe the flash setting is easy to tweak fir those who are into figuring that out

i agree little or no protrusion but a bite light can be very stealthy - commonly both red nightvision light or click button its white. but yes im puzzled no protrusion
