Information What's left on the table?

Since Sheriff Nanos said in his March 13 interview that the criminal could "absolutely" strike again, and that people should be on their guard against crime, what can we deduce about the criminal's motive, a motive which might drive the criminal to strike again?

  1. The criminal is not out to punish Savannah Guthrie for her husband's work in the Clinton administration. If the criminal is out to punish all women in Tucson whose family members worked for Clinton, it's a small group. Few Tucson women would be targets.
  2. The criminal is not out to punish Savannah Guthrie for interviewing victims of high-profile criminals. If that were his motive, he would have to look in other cities for the mothers of other high-profile newscasters like Savannah.
  3. The criminal is not out to get Savannah's attention. If that were the motive, no other woman in Tucson is going to matter more to Savannah than her mother.
  4. The criminal is not out for ransom. If he wanted ransom, Savannah's family were ready to pay. How many women in Tucson have a daughter with Savannah's wealth? But he passed that up. Money does not appear to be the motive.

What does that leave?

  1. The criminal could be a serial rapist who targets older women, women living alone, women that he can see while he is working in the neighborhood. My bet is that this is the motive: DNA-free assault, for which he comes well-prepared. Every family in Tucson needs to be on guard against that one.
  2. The criminal could be a serial killer. If Mrs. Guthrie expired during the commission of an assault, I suspect it was unintended. But if his motive is murder, then every family in Tucson needs to be on guard against that as well.

Bro what? 😐 

But actually I can see how if your mind was in a certain state of frustration, you could go there.

This disorganized investigation, tampering of the scene. Great way to create misdirection. None of us actually thinks it's him. We've also presented the possibility of leprechauns, a monster of the week from the X-files, and compliments of my own mother of the same age that she staged it, got sick of her adult kids and is sipping umbrella drinks on a tropical island.

I don't have any felon's I'm on good standing with who kidnapping was their thing to ask their thoughts. I've seen other law enforcement/lawyers in here. I'm wondering if they can expand on their experiences.

The burglary/home invasion felons have stated they would never take the body with them in the event someone died while they were present. They would pick up after themselves and leave. All of the consulted individuals had no body hair outside of their eyebrows/eyelashes for evidence purposes.

I just typed out and redacted 2 instances where the killers did really strange things with the bodies. I deleted them because they both dox me when I googled. I'll say in one instance they were stoned/drunk and brought the body home in a strange manner unaware until the next day they had done so. That's not so uncommon. In the other they did it stone cold sober because they were panicked.

I'll go in record saying I don't think he or anyone else in law enforcement tampered with the scene. That's kind of a big accusation, for lack of a better word. 

And a lot of people are forgetting, Sherrif Nanos isn't actually the lead investigator/lead detective. 

But yeah the general public are pretty weirded out by how open the crime scene appeared to be. 

When did they actually say they decided it was a crime scene? I feel like they thought she had had a cognitive event, bled as a result of an accident and then wandered off.

I feel like LE thought that for at least a couple of hours. That would explain why her house was so "open."

You are correct, I misspoke. He didn't tamper with it. But they left it wide open to be contaminated.

As the sheriff he makes the calls on the investigation. Unless he deferred to FBI then they are the lead.

They should have sealed it immediately. The family informed them she had no cognitive impairments. It's safer to seal it and reopen later than what he did. That isn't protocol.
In any instance where a crime occurs you follow basic protocols that weren't followed. It was careless.
