    By Tommy Acosta —

    Yeah, so what the heck is taking so long to catch the kidnapper? I mean, what’s it been — more two weeks already? And all they can come up with is some really, lousy footage of someone dressed like a clown; and bits of DNA and stinky glove? God knows where the video came from — maybe from the same people who staged the moon landing.

    Look at that image. Everybody says, “Oh, the guy was so stupid. They’re so dumb.” Or if it’s not a guy, it’s a girl — whatever it is. They say they’re making mistakes and they’re amateurs. Yeah, right. As if the kidnappers don’t know what they’re doing?

    Meanwhile, the attention of the world is focused on the kidnapping. Everybody hangs out like a dog under a table waiting for crumbs to fall — just a bit of information to help figure out this case. Everybody’s asking: “What’s going on? Is she alive? Is she dead? Is she in the house? Are relatives involved? Is she in on it?”

    A lot of questions.

    But meanwhile everybody comes back to the table and it’s like — OK, how many times can we hear the same thing?

    The SWAT team went out. The SWAT team came back. We’re able to look into the cyber past, scan, analyze, and replay. It seems they have instruments that can pick up a transmission that occurred days ago and bring it into the present. Amazing.

    With all of that — all those gizmos that can look through masks and around corners, listen to conversations from vibrations in a glass of water on a table, they can’t get a solid lead.

    Doesn’t seem right.

    That person you see bumbling in front of the door in that video we’ve seen 300 billion times — you’ve got to realize they’re not stupid. whoever is doing it, is brilliant. They want everyone to think he/she is stupid to throw them all off the scent.

    They are keeping everyone hypnotized to an orchestrated show where no one really knows what is truly going on or what is coming next.

    And is she still alive? I would say they knew her medicine and stocked up. She’s alive.

    Will the family release the ransom? Would they release the loot just for a body — or remains, I should say?

    It’s highly unlikely she is dead because they will have to refrigerate the body if they want to collect for its return.

    Yeah, it’s getting more-and-more difficult to look at the TV regurgitating the same news, the same information. Just give me something new. Listening to talking heads, police, authorities explaining. They have no suspect. No person of interest. Zero!

    All the electronics, all the top space-age detection equipment — and they’ve haven’t even gotten to first base yet? The kidnapper and kidnapped just evaporated?

    Perhaps that’s what has us glued to the TV set or device. Yep. We need to know how his story ends.

    And I think most people believe — or want to believe — they will find her. That whoever did this will get caught and pay for their crimes. High hopes! We would all want to see her back home safe. We are the proverbial horse chasing the carrot on a stick.

    But getting there — oh my God — it’s like walking through sludge. One sludgy step after another sludgy step after another sludgy step just to get to a final, resolution.

    Let’s get back to blowing up Iran, ICE mayhem and the Epstein files, already.

    Enough is enough.

    Come home, Nancy.

      They can listen to your conversations through closed windows using laser technology that translates vibration into sound.

      I think the kidnapper of Ms Guthrie is no damned fool. They took care not to bring a live cellphone that could be pinged. No vehicle was brought to the home otherwise there’d be pings and tire tracks. They dressed in a manner that prevented DNA shedding, made Ms Guthrie leave her cellphone in the house so it could not be traced etc. I think we’re looking at an experienced kidnapper and not a robbery gone wrong.
      I’m certain they’ll be caught soon enough. Apparently there are people willing to turn them in for a single bitcoin which is less valuable than the reward being offered. As I’ve stated numerous times, man kind is greedy! We can’t help ourselves apparently and some greedy bastard will likely get financially rewarded for ratting out the perpetrator(s).

      Epstein Files? Who’s Epstein, “I hardly knew him” despite the photo archive of me with him ogling young girls with pedo grins on their faces.
