And all of those are excellent points.

But the family is the first group of people that I thought of when we found out that a tent was going up because we associate that with finding remains of a person.

And so I can only imagine for them already being in this emotional limbo that they're in and having to wait and see, just like the rest of us in many ways, and how hard this must be for them.

Oh, gosh, yes.

I agree, Nancy.

She is definitely trying to appeal to whatever scintilla of empathy that the kidnapper may have.

But if not them, then somebody close to them who recognizes them, who knows it's them.

This may appeal to them and they might go to the police, hopefully, and tell what they know.

Well, the best encouragement that I have is that in a case like this, of course, we want resolution.

We want to know where Nancy Guthrie is and bring her home safely.

But the good news is, and we can look on the positive side, that if this isn't the person and this person has no idea and isn't a suspect anymore, then they keep looking.

And that means there's still opportunity, right?

Because if it is the person and whatever the outcome is, if it doesn't bring Ms.

Guthrie home safely, then it's over and we're all grieving.

But in this particular case, it just means that the investigation continues and everybody needs to stay vigilant because like you said, Nancy, you just never know.

You never know who might hear something, who might see something.

Putting this video out there of this suspect, this intruder, is excellent because somebody might see this video and recognize this person from the way they walk, the way their body looks.

So it's really about staying vigilant, staying engaged, and helping to bring Nancy Guthrie home.
