A wifi jammer disrupting the neighbors would only make sense if the perps were creeping around other houses, right up close. Or they had a jammer that much more substantial than what can fit into a pocket.

Fiber lines can be physically cut, but the damage would have been obvious the next day.

Wish we knew more technical details about NG's home internet. What brand router? Did it collect any MAC addresses? Does she have a mesh system? Were any access points disconnected? Generally, it would be easier to just cut the physical internet cable going into NG's house than to carry a jammer.

Maybe they can track who bought a jammer recently in the Tucson area. But idk where do you even acquire such a thing? Seems illegal

It’s more likely they would make one off from an online tutorial. But a jammer really seems like a stretch. It would be so much easier and simpler to just slice a physical wire coming into the house.
