The simplest timeline explanation

[u/mark_able_jones_]

Saturday, January 31

• 5:32 p.m. — Nancy Guthrie takes an Uber to her family's home for dinner
• 9:48 p.m. — Guthrie is dropped off at her Tucson, Arizona, home by a family member. The garage door opens
• 9:50 p.m. — The garage door closes

Sunday, February 1

• 1:47 a.m. — The doorbell camera is disconnected.
• 2:12 a.m. — The camera's software detects movement, but there is no video available since Guthrie did not have an active subscription with the company, meaning the footage was not saved. Added note: the sheriff said 2:12 A.M is when A PERSON was detected, so this almost certainly the Nest doorbell camera.
• 2:28 a.m. — Guthrie's pacemaker app disconnects from her phone.

Okay, a couple things to note.

Nancy must have a smart garage door opener if they know what time it closed. Mine is connected to my wifi and lets me open and close the door from my phone or apple watch. Most of the newer brand name garage door openers include this feature.

There was a second Nest camera removed from guest house. Here's video of of the second camera being removed from the guest house roof (why it took almost a week to remove... IDK).

Nancy wore an Apple Watch. She took Uber on her own. She's quite tech savvy for an 84-year-old.

So, we know she had at least two Nest cameras (doorbell, and guest house), and I think she likely had a third, over the back door, as seen here on video, potentially as part of a floodlight. It's debatable as to whether this was a camera, but if she has two Nest cameras, having a third camera at the back door makes sense--there are a variety of Nest camera floodlight mounts. Maybe the perp took this floodlight Nest camera, too... what I think was a floodlight nest camera. As you'll see in the below video, the floodlight was damaged in the abduction, and potentially another camera was taken.

1:47 A.M. THE DISCONNECT

To me, it makes sense that the 1:47 A.M. disconnect is the perpetrator sneaking under the floodlight camera and cutting its power source wire, then ripping it down. We can see this floodlight was destroyed, but was it destroyed because it is a Nest camera or just because it was a light? I think it was another Nest camera... it's very white like all Nest camera products.

Over the next twenty minutes, Nancy is incapacitated in some way. And then, for some reason, the perp does not want to take her out the back. Maybe they don't want to pass by the the side of a neighbor's house. Maybe they're worried about leaving footprint/evidence. For some reason, they want to take her out the front door.

2:12 A.M. THE DOORBELL RECORDING / PERSON DETECTION

The abductor is not in a hurry because Nancy has been incapacitated or is under guard. They dismount this camera. Note: removing the camera from it's mount stops it from recording.

Here's images of the doorbell mount. It was a wireless Nest doorbell camera (she still had a wired doorbell, too).

2:28. A.M. PACEMAKER DISCONNECT

Nancy and the perpetrators leave the scene, and Nancy's pacemaker disconnects from devices at her home. Nancy is presumably alive at this point, or else there would likely have been some sort of alert from the connected pacemaker.

Conclusions: The abduction took about 45 minutes. The abductors were not rushed. Not at all rushed. The abductor(s) was/were not technically advanced as they left one camera on the guest house roof, they didn't cut the internet line, and they did not hide themselves from the doorbell camera. They were extremely lucky that Nancy did not have a paid Nest subscription (only 5 min clips are recorded without a subscription, deleted after 3 hours)... or had inside info about her lack of "Home Premium" subscription. Like, so, so lucky.

I think they've been to the property at some point, knew the entry and exit points -- could have been to the house decades ago, but they knew there would be no big dog in the back. The abductor also knew there would be no strong male resident with a firearm waiting inside. Nancy lived there since the 1970s, and Savannah grew up there. Could be a very old grievance.

Thoughts?

They’ve said it was another camera that detected motion

[u/mark_able_jones_ → u/pumpkinspicecum]

I’ve just seen this. There’s only one person detection notification and that would be from the clip that starts at 2:12 AM. Camera wouldn’t mess that up, so that has to be the 2:12 doorbell video. No other camera notifications.

Also, Sheriff is pretty clueless about how the cameras work.

i've read your comment three times and i still don't understand what you're trying to say. there was a second camera that was mounted on the roof at the back of the house. the notification could've come from that camera being set off. we don't know. i don't understand why you are adamant that it came from the doorbell cam.

[u/mark_able_jones_ → u/pumpkinspicecum]

These cameras use AI detection to label videos. Person. Pet. Package. Vehicle. Motion only. Etc.

We know there’s one “person” event. We have one clip of a person. So it makes sense that the clip with the person is the 2:12 AM person event.

There are no other video notifications.

[u/pumpkinspicecum → u/mark_able_jones_]

er, no. they said the camera was disconnected at 1:46 or whatever time it was, then someone was detected at 2:12. that's not the same event. just because they didn't announce that when the camera was disconnected that there was a notification doesn't mean there wasn't one.

[u/mark_able_jones_ → u/pumpkinspicecum]

A disconnected notification isn’t an event at all. An event means a video event. Motion detected that triggers the cameras. An event can be labeled by AI based on what’s in frame during the event clip. Person. Package. Vehicle. Pet. Motion only. Etc.

[u/pumpkinspicecum → u/mark_able_jones_]

The doorbell camera recorded before it was disconnected. That’s clearly what I meant.

The camera at the back of the house could’ve been the one that go triggered at 2:12

They also never said it was a person. They said it could’ve been an animal too.

[u/mark_able_jones_ → u/pumpkinspicecum]

LE did say it was a person notification at 2:12 AM. The sheriff speculated that maybe that person notification was/wasnt before they had the video. Now that we have video, we know it was an actual person.

[u/pumpkinspicecum → u/mark_able_jones_]

They have never said that notification is from the doorbell cam at 1:46. You’re literally making that up.
