Regarding Nancy Guthrie's disappearance,

[Dr. T]

if Trump Dawg has the southern border sealed up as tight as the right wing media says, then why does Arizona law enforcement think she may have been taken over the border? Wouldn't that be impossible if what they're saying is true?

1. Heh.

Good point, that!

2. It's easy to just drive into Mexico

using one of the major border crossings

driving north back into the U.S. is far more time consuming and you find yourself under much tighter scrutiny

it’s usually not a big deal heading south though

[Attilatheblond]

6. That's why it's profitable for U.S. smugglers to take guns and ammo from here to cartels south of the border

Although, I read law enforcement is considering putting a checkpoint on southbound I-19 someday to cut down on that bit of trafficking.

8. Yep. Drugs go north

firearms, ammo, and money go south

3. Stupid.

I think she's been dead since the night it happened. Why? Because I don't think it was a kidnapping at all. I think it was an armed robbery/home invasion gone horribly wrong and she was killed that night when she woke up and resisted and is buried somewhere, probably even nearby. All this sheriff/police/FBI presence is just a waste of funds.

4. I think she is gone by now too

I don’t think it’s necessarily a waste of money. One for the family, two to catch this guy. He could strike again.

5. I think he's a rank amateur

Someone who's probably never done this before, or maybe once or twice. Note that his DNA ias not in CODIS, which tells you something right up front.

[Dr. T]

7. The trouble with the home invasion/armed robbery theory is that

burglars never take dead bodies with them when they leave. They're usually in a hurry to get away.
