The Sheriff releasing the crime scene 24 hrs after??? That's just absurd!

I know a police forensic scientist. They told me they seize cars when they believe they were involved in a crime. In this case, Crime scene # 1 is Nancy’s home. Crime scene #2 is the vehicle used to take her from the first crime scene. This is not a standard procedure. To take the vehicle in as EVIDENCE, they need to lay out their theory to a judge and obtain a warrant. Then they process the car to a gnats eyebrow. Hair, skin, blood, fibers, trash, any random thing. Looking at those blood drops, Nancy would not have stopped bleeding in the minute or so it took to put her into whatever vehicle. You cannot ever get all the blood from a car. Even leather and vinyl seats have perforations from stitching and it can soak into the foam of the seat. Maybe the car is wet inside from efforts to clean it. Maybe it smells of shampoo or bleach. There is a reason they took the car. Believe it.

Idk y they wouldn’t have kept the house and grounds roped off until she has been found!!!….so sad!!!…it has to be someone who knows the schedule of her daily routine and all the cameras and all!!!!…how sad for someone to take this little old lady and put her thru such trauma at her age!!!!!…I hate to be negative but whomever took her is stupid because in today’s times they can find you from space

Since Day 1, it's been a botched investigation. Didn't seal off the house and released it back the very same day when they had no leads. How stupid, amateur and downright incompetent.

They WOULDN’T Make their Person of Interest public, WITHOUT GOOD CAUSE, or unless an arrest is ready to be made.

I think it's odd that they just don't keep the caution tape up. So frustrated

Elizabeth I always love seeing You, along w/ my Favorite Matt Murphy, he’s amazing. The news guy named Brian Entin, a few days ago he was walking along the neighborhood and a woman in an CHEVY SUV STOPPED him while still filming and said she had CCTVto give to the police for viewing. She claimed it could be helpful. Ask Brian about this. Thank you all!

They must have some info about a vehicle by now. there must be some cameras around and there wouldn't be many cars driving around at 2 AM.
