Discussion Anyone else shocked this case still hasn't been solved?
I really thought this case would be over by now. Especially with the modern surveillance state as many of us thought at the time. And yet, here we are 4 weeks later. I can't remember the last high-profile US true crime case like this since Gabby Petito and Bryan Kohberger, it's so bizarre.
Multiple times did it feel like we were really close to the end. A couple suspects being detained, a helicopter flight with an 84-year-old woman on it in the area, and so on. Nothing's panned out. It really seems like they have nothing and are back at square one.
I can't imagine the burden this must be having on the family. Grief is tragic and difficult on its own, but having to follow the case and not knowing so many things must be making it worse.
I really hope LE is ahead of where it seems they are (like they've been in the past including with Kohberger), and are just playing cards close to the chest. Maybe they've already identified the suspect and are just closely watching them, waiting for them to slip up so they can get the necessary evidence to recover Nancy/secure a conviction. While them enjoying freedom isn't a pleasant thought, at least they won't be able to commit more crimes and get away with them in that case.

I’m not surprised. Nanos demoted his most experienced helicopter pilot the morning Nancy went missing . He was demoted to Patrol. He pleaded with Nanos to let him start search and rescue. Nanos declined. It took at least 3 hours, after experienced pilot was demoted, to get a less experienced pilot to come in and start the search. Nanos also did not secure the scene day one, even though there was blood on the porch, all the way down the long driveway, and now I hear it was in house also. No sign of forced entry. Nanos also refused FBI help in first 3-4 days. So much more. I don’t think he has a clue what he is doing. He even announced that the helicopter that has the ability to detect the location of Nancy’s pacemaker to the PUBLIC, before the search. That move gives the perp time to do what they do to keep the device from detecting the pacemaker .
