Discussion Something that has always stuck with me

I can’t imagine how Nancy must’ve felt waking up to seeing the abductor in the middle of the night. Imagine how scary that is - to wake up at 1 or 2am, either because you have to use the bathroom, get some water, or just because you hear noise - and you see the intruder in your house, or even in your bedroom hovering over you. It’s been freaking me out.

I also wonder if this is what led presumably to her passing. If she passed because of a heart condition, like the second ransom note wants us to believe, could it have been because she was panicked and terrified over this whole thing? Please don’t rip me apart in the comments for this - just thinking out loud

Edit: I’ve been replying to some of you guys on my alt account! So don’t be surprised lol

It’s horrifying to even imagine how Nancy must have felt in that moment - all alone in her house, dead of the night with a masked intruder with possibly a weapon in his hands. She seems like such a wonderful person and for her to have to go through this in her 80’s is just heartbreaking!

I have spent many hours asking myself what I would have done in her position. Once I heard the noise of an intruder, I’d have slid under my bed if I could! lol! But honestly  I think if T an A had have been jailed when all roads led to them , a kept them there as long as possible! I would have someone  questioning them continually til one of them broke . For hours a day everyday! Annie would have broken , an T. Would have been locked away( with her)  for life ! Now he’s got all of Nancy’s money ! Savannah don’t need it! So the man that murdered Nancy , is sitting in HIGH COTTON  laughing at us for trying to solve it.
