That 13 minute window, you know, the first thing that happens when they're checking on somebody is the phone call.

Are you okay?

That's usually what happens with home security systems.

And then if nothing there, then the police at two o'clock, we, I believe anyway, that that's when the kidnapper or kidnappers were actually in her room and putting hands on her, getting her up out of bed.

You know, Nancy, this is one of those situations where.

the media interest because people are so fascinated by this mainly because of savannah guthrie but also the fact that there's an 84 year old woman missing and it's got people going crazy so yeah um the fact that we know there are ransom notes you know we've had plenty of missing people cases that we've covered that didn't have ransom notes

But here we have them.

So all the crazies have come out of the woodwork and they're flooding.

All the investigators have to take everything seriously.

As they said from the very beginning, you know, before they even verified the first ransom notes we heard about, they were like, we are taking every tip

Every call, seriously.

They have to.

It's an investigation.

And that's what they've been doing.

That's how they were able to get the guy arrested in California so quickly.

They've already got him admitting that he sent the fake messages, you know.

They had him tied down in a matter of 24 hours, Nancy.

So, yeah, they're spending a lot of time on everything that comes into them, including fake ransom notes, trying to take advantage of a Bitcoin billionaire, you know.

What we were told or what has been reported is that cameras inside the home that were there and they were placed at different angles to cover all areas inside the home so that they could be checked on by family members in case Nancy were to fall or become incapacitated.

They could then see inside the home.
