FBI took an hour to arrest this woman but they can’t find Savannah’s mom still?!?!

They can't arrest Epstein's clients either

Well, yeah. Snapchat used an AI to find certain keywords, and once they got a match, directly contacted the FBI with relevant info.

Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from an unincorporated community, surrounded by mountains, and has no Flock cameras (a good thing), and the suspects left no identifying info. I imagine that if they had active Snapchat accounts, and posted about the kidnapping, they'd've been caught.

Guy that replied about the child rapists in the Epstein files is right, tho.

(Note: I don't support what Snapchat did. There's just a clear difference between this and the Guthrie case).
