So I am back in the United States. I was in Mexico this past week but for obvious reasons did not want to post publicly about it.
One thing I will note is that a lot of the social media panic early in the week did not translate to reality on the ground in Mexico for American tourists. There was a clear effort to reassure tourists with a lot of military personnel. And even in Puerto Vallarta, I was told that the cartel was very careful about avoiding tourists during their retaliation.
I asked several people why they thought the cartel was so wary of harming Americans given American intel clearly played a role in taking out El Mencho and had several people directly say some version of "they are afraid of Trump".
I have plenty of disagreements with Trump on domestic and foreign policy, but there is no doubt for me that the perception of Trump as someone who is willing to use force and a little crazy has the affect of helping keep Americans safer abroad. Even from relatively violent actors.
These two photos of the Nancy Guthrie suspect were taken on different days, sources confirm to me and @LibbeyDean_ – indicating the suspect appears to have visited Guthrie’s house before the kidnapping.
Will your tip be the one that helps us find Nancy?
The FBI's National Threat Operations Center (NTOC) has received more than 19,000 tips related to the Nancy Guthrie case since February 1.
Threat intake examiners are working 24/7 to answer calls coming into the 1-800-CALL-FBI tip line and review those submitted at https://t.co/8PjMoU17mh.
FBI reward of up to $100,000 for information leading to the location of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.
I suspect many of the women going after Erika had very LITTLE power in high school.
They’re thrilled to be able to inflict damage on a woman who looks like the girls they always hated/envied.
They’re acting out the “power” they never had.
Erika Kirk is not a pedophile. Anyone suggesting that or pushing that is evil.
Attacking Erika Kirk is a direct attack on Charlie and his legacy.
PERIOD
Been saying Mexico is part of the equation. Wouldn’t locals have recognized this man already? While disguised, there’s some very defining characteristics about him.
@ChrisRoach513 I think it’s an amateur, so while sloppy, I wouldn’t rule out the crypto demands completely. I still feel like Mexico fits into this somehow. I’ve said since the beginning. Locals would have recognized this guy by now?
President of Milwaukee Crime Stoppers offers $100,000 reward in the Nancy Guthrie case that would allow tipsters to remain anonymous, unlike the FBI’s offer.
“If their tip pans out, and we make an arrest, they get a reward… and no one ever knows their name.”
