Just One Thing: The first break in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance
UPDATE: Nancy Guthrie kidnapping person of interest Carlos released after being detained by police
Last night, law enforcement detailed a guy for a few hours, presumably as a suspect in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance, and then released him. They searched (and damaged) the guy's house. He says he hadn't even heard of the Nancy Guthrie situation. His interview with local reporters is below...(it has several f-bombs and other NSFW language.)

Live updates: Nancy Guthrie investigation photos show armed potential subject on door camera
Apparently working with Nest (the video doorbell company and smart device company owned by Google), law enforcement has now retrieved 44 seconds of video saved on a server somewhere that was thought not to have been saved. The video and related still pictures (embedded below) show a man wearing a full face covering (except eyes and mouth) and gloves, wearing a holster with a pistol in a way that nobody who knows anything about guns would ever wear one, approaching Nancy Guthrie's home and tampering with (and presumably taking down) the video doorbell.
It's not much but at least it's something.
He also has what appears to be a full backpack. And I'm sure that investigators are looking at any tiny details that might offer a clue to who the guy is or at least allow law enforcement to match the video/pictures to any future suspect(s).
I think this will simultaneously 1) raise privacy concerns about these doorbell cameras since it seems clear that Nancy Guthrie was not signed up to a plan that was supposed to record and save video, and 2) get a lot of people to buy a doorbell camera for their own actual and perceived security.

This is a tough one. I actually think that Murkowski is wrong to say that this is like what Democrats wanted to do to truly "nationalize" elections. An ID requirement does not, in my opinion, infringe on the states' rights to run their own elections. That said, it will look like hypocrisy to many voters as far as how Republicans previously objected to some really terrible Democratic election legislation by broadly opposing federal involvement in elections.
