Anyone Listening To What The Sheriff In The Nancy Gutherie Case Is Saying

Right wing media says it may have been a home invasion gone bad - the sheriff says no it wasn’t, it was a kidnapping.

The right wing media is saying the perpetrator was an amateur getting his photo caught on the door camera - the sheriff says he wanted his photo caught.

The sheriff came out yesterday and made a shocking statement, at least to me, he said the motive may have been revenge. What does he know to make that statement?

They find a black glove that may have been worn by the perp, the sheriff doesn’t give it to the FBI to test the DNA, he sends it to a private firm, why?

Krasnov makes a public statement he wants the perp to get the death penalty, why, is he covering his own ass?

Something is not right with this kidnapping, the sheriff has to keep correcting the media, like family involvement.

when the FBI gets involved in a case, that the local sheriff did not give evidence to the FBI to be analyzed for DNA, but sent it to a private lab instead?

I bet not many times if any. I heard a retired FBI agent, had to be a Magat because he was on FOX, say what the sheriff did was wrong sending that out to be analyzed, time is of the essence.

There are many examples of the media leading this case in the wrong direction.

This morning the media is publicizing that the FBI is taking photos of people to 40 gun shops to see if they recognize anyone who bought a gun there. That doesn't even make sense. What would make more sense is to get the Walmart videos of people buying that cheap holster and the backpack.

They need to get the people from the TV show The First 48, the investigators from Tulsa.

Kash Patel should be in jail and not the head of the FBI.

have been very political. I live in Tucson and we definitely have had our problems with BP, ICE and Drumpf. When the FBI showed up here the first thing I thought was they're going to try and pin this on an Immigrant! They're going to plant evidence and frame some poor immigrant for this!** If they have a chance to do it, they're going to try to! I texted this to my friend and she said that's what she had just told her husband!

I really think it's more like Nanos doesn't trust the PATEL FBI, and doesn't want them taking control of the evidence and the investigation. I tend to agree! Having the skills, resources and manpower of the FBI is good /// but NOT with Patel in charge.

As far as I know, the FBI does not intervene unless requested by local authorities. They have to be invited.

That’s why initial evidence needing DNA testing was sent to an independent lab, not the FBI. So when the FBI DID become involved, the sheriff wanted to continue sending all evidence to the initial lab for continuity (all DNA in the same place).

I remember the reports that the sheriff was resistant to sending to the FBI lab and it was being questioned.

if Patel's FBI came out and said the DNA on the glove was from some poor undocumented fella who happened to physically look like the real perp.

Krasnov would be demanding more money for ICE.

The sheriff may have prevented this from happening by having his men investigate the crime scene and by sending the glove to a private lab.

The MSM is trying to mislead us, trying to blame the sheriff.

because that means they can blame "illegals". It is a bare possibility it could have been that, but often in such cases the perp/s leave the dead person in their home. The couple of cases I heard about where they didn't they dumped the persons body within a few miles of the house (basically, tried to get rid of the body asap).

Sadly, I suspect Mrs. Guthrie was murdered within hours of being taken. Where her body has been dumped is the mystery.

He said the perp wanted the door camera to film him, he wanted to be seen.

What possible reason would a kidnapper want to be seen? I can think of one, the FBI had a stooge, most likely an undocumented immigrant, who fit the description of the real perp.

They plant the DNA and get an arrest and then Krasnov goes on national TV asking for more money for ICE.

One problem, an honest sheriff got to the crime scene first.
