Is The Nancy Guthrie Kidnapper A Genius Or A Moron

I mean he is shown trying to cover up the doorbell camera with flowers from the garden. Why would he throw his gloves away for them to be found?

Then the ransom demand comes with so much sophistication that it can't be traced.

Did one person do the kidnapping and another do the ransom?

An eighty-four year old woman with a heart condition and mobility problems missing for two weeks and nothing has really changed. Well, except for the idiot trying to cover the door camera with foliage. What!

Kash Patel, I'm sure ordered by Krasnov, sent 2,000 FBI agents to Minneapolis to harass citizens or dig up dirt on peaceful protesters, what a waste of agents.

Send them to Tucson and let them rummage through the bushes would be a better use of their time, more productive.

Its easy to buy and sell, easy to conceal the transactions and launder the money. You move the money through a few bitcoin wallets, then its clean and you can cash it back out. There's even online guides on how to do it.

thought he could cash in on the situation. The kidnapper, on the other hand, is a local MAGA moron who has a serious problem with women and has nursed his anger over Savannah Guthrie’s non-deferential treatment of Trump in the debate and town hall she moderated. She also interviewed Epstein survivors. With all the publicity coming out around Trump’s involvement with Epstein he lashed out and kidnapped the mother and killed her.

But it appears that the local Sheriff (who seems to be well-meaning, but incompetent) and possibly Cash Patel’s FBI are as well. It seems hard to believe at this point that this case is going to come to a satisfactory resolution for anyone involved.

If they crack the case it won't be until she is long gone.

When Elizabeth Smart was abducted in the middle of the night it was done by someone who was known to the family. Not known well, but if they had gone through a list of possible contacts and tracked them down, maybe they would have found her a lot sooner.

Elizabeth Smart was in public with her abductors. At one point a federal agent asked to see her face and the abductor refused to show it for "religious" reasons. What effing religion is that in the US? So that was a missed opportunity. She was out there for nine months before being identified.

Nancy Guthrie does not have nine months.

most criminals are caught because the police are marginally smarter than them, and the majority of criminals are stone stupid.
