Yes, the church crew probably texts each other before logging on for services. Not at all unusual for older people. |
Or this was misconstrued by the media. Perhaps she attends virtually but is in touch with a friend or group before or after service. Either by phone/ft or in person for coffee or something, and that’s what she was missing from. It would be incredibly stupid for the sister to say that’s how they found out if it wasn’t true. She would have to realize LE would need to know exactly who contacted her and would find out that she doesn’t attend in person at all. Also, cell phone records would prove it is not true. I don’t think it was Annie, but perhaps someone close to them. |
Some Older people lose mass and weight as they age. It’s highly possible she’s smaller than when those pictures were taken—my grandmother is fairly healthy in her 90s but weighs less than she did in her 80s and 70s. It’s actually part of why people who are underweight don’t do as well when they age. |
In addition to the pacemaker weirdness, I think it’s very weird you think the word celebration doesn’t apply to people’s reactions when the are reunited with loved ones. I would 100% celebrate if my kidnapped loved one was returned to me alive. |
Right. They could have easily just said they made plans the night before to pick her up for brunch or something and showed up there, if they wanted to lie about why they went to check on her. |
| Random question, but is there any chance (besides incompetence) that the police left the house so quickly, and they started putting out messages that she desperately needed her medication? Possibly hoping a perpetrator might return to the scene for it? |

This sounds incredibly stupid. I would think criminal masterminds would be able to procure medication if they needed it. But I doubt Nancy needs it anymore. |

^^Reposting because it got caught in the prior comment box:
If they believe she is no longer alive, there's no real rush to find her vs. building a solid investigation that will take them through trial with 12 strangers agreeing on "guilty" in a world where people increasingly expect video documentation of the actual crime. |
Maybe whoever is behind this isn't a criminal mastermind though. |
| Oof. I just realized that even though I've assumed the ransom notes are coming from an opportunistic third party, that anyone who was in the home that morning looking for her would also have observed the broken floodlight and placement of her watch. |
I’d say they’re not too shabby if they’ve gotten away with it for this long. |
+1. These are old women. They have nothing better to do. |
Why so condescending? Conversing with each other is something "better to do". It promotes socializing, a vital necessity as we age, and it promotes safety. When your circle notices you aren't texting as usual, they can have someone check on you. If they are in a church and did NOT text or talk to each other, that would be concerning that they are perhaps lonely or depressed. |
Did the church ladies know Annie’s number? According to Annie and Tomasco, they were alerted to complete a wellness check after discovering from one of Nancy’s friends that Nancy did not attend for Sunday’s virtual service. This is all early verifiable. Cops have already determined whether someone from church called or texted Nancy asking for her whereabouts or if someone from church informed Annie. I believe LE was already on to the family as suspects but was not disclosing that so Annie, Tomasco, and Savannah do not freak out. Remember, Savannah was staying with Annie at her home for this week. It must be awkward now. At this point, she must be aware something is going on if they were taking photos of their garage in the dark and impounding vehicles |
