Trigger word she was told in the note to to say to indicate that she will agree to their demands, I would guess. ---

Interesting discussion. The retired agent keeps repeating _unusual_ about aspects of this case. The old investigator seems unsure if this is a kidnapping and the motives for it. He’s questioning if these people actually have Nancy Guthrie > **[Retired FBI Agent reads between the lines of Nancy Guthrie’s ransom note | CNN](https://www.cnn.com/2026/02/09/us/video/cnn-sitroom-pamela-brown-savannah-nancy-guthrie-ransom-fbi-investigation-tucson)** > > Former FBI Supervisory Special Agent James Gagliano joined The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Pamela Brown to break down the subtle details some may have missed in the Nancy Guthrie case ahead of the Monday evening deadline. ---

On the radio now, they said there’s a released photo of someone in a mask from that night at Nancy Guthrie’s house. I’m on the clock so can’t draw it up at this time. I hope they nail this guy really fast. ---

Full face mask and heavy padding, it seems. This is going to bring in hundreds of false hits. ---

I’m following the story as it appears on the news. Sadly, now 10 days in, it seems less likely to me that Ms. Guthrie will be found alive. I can only imagine how horribly nightmarish this must be for the family. ---

Have you seen reports of a [wired roof camera that may have been placed by the suspects before the abduction?](https://www.complex.com/life/a/helen-storms/nancy-guthrie-home-camera) I’m only mentioning race because it narrows the list of suspects Doesn’t the visible skin appear lightly colored or white? This is getting very creepy. Surveillance before the crime and a suspect with a holstered gun and a padded strap shoulder bag. > **[FBI releases surveillance pictures from Guthrie home](https://www.kold.com/2026/02/03/we-gotta-find-her-dna-samples-taken-nancy-guthries-home-belong-her-pcsd-says/)** > > A blue SUV was towed from Nancy Guthrie's home late Friday, Feb. 6.

If that was an infra-red camera then the “light” color of the skin doesn’t indicate skin color, it indicates the person was alive enough to have a body temperature. Or it was a visible-light crappy black and white camera. I can’t tell for sure from this. ---

I’d really, really hate seeing a armed, masked guy like that at my front door.🤢 It’s not hard to imagine what restraints are in the backpack. That elderly woman was certainly asleep in bed when they came in. ---

If you have a source for your information about restraints and where Nancy was at the time, include it. But if this is just random speculation, then you’re spreading misinformation. ---

It’s been reported that Nancy was dropped of by her daughter’s husband around 10PM after a family dinner. It’s not a unreasonable assumption to say where she was at 2AM. ---

It’s in the published timeline. Sometime around 2AM plus or minus 10 minutes, they would be in the house.
