Retired FBI agent Steve Moore sat down with News Nation’s Brian Entin to discuss the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. On day 40 of the search for the 84-year-old Moore revealed why he believes her abductors could “strike again”.
Could Nancy Guthrie’s Abductor Strike Again?
According to Moore, Guthrie’s abductors may have reason to repeat their crime.
“I’m no longer 100 percent in the camp that this was a planned ransom kidnapping,” Moore told Entin on Thursday, March 12. “The ransom note came kind of late and they didn’t really try to provide proof of life. So I think it’s possible that this was something different. If that is the case, and even if to a certain extent it was a ransom kidnapping, it could happen again because they’ve apparently at least they think they’ve gotten away with it.”
He continued, “They may have gotten away with it for a while before they’re caught. But if it’s not a kidnapping, the things that drove them to this crime will recur. If they needed money they’ll need money again. If they are deviant in any way, shape or form, they’re still going to be deviant after not being caught.”
Moore went on to explain that if Guthrie’s disappearance was the result of a kidnapping, then the abductors went through “an immense amount of trouble,” including planning and risk, for no reward.
“So there’s nothing to tell me that these people won’t try again,” he stated.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos later agreed with Moore’s claim in an interview with NBC News, according to Brian Entin.
“The Pima County Sheriff was asked if he thinks the Nancy Guthrie suspect could strike again and he responded ‘absolutely’ in a new interview with NBC News,” Entin shared via X. “He said they believe it was targeted, but are not ‘100 percent sure of that.'”
Nancy Guthrie Disappearance Day 40
Guthrie was first reported missing on February 1 after she did not show up for her regular church service. She was last seen the night before, at a family dinner hosted by her daughter Annie Guthrie.
According to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, Guthrie was taken from her Tucson, Arizona, home against her will in the early morning hours of February 1. Authorities are searching for an armed, masked man who appeared in unearthed footage from Guthrie’s front doorbell camera.
Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have offered a $1 million reward for information that leads to their mother’s return.
“Someone knows how to find our mom and bring her home,” the “Today” host said via Instagram on February 24.
However, Moore explained that anyone who may be considered an accomplice in Guthrie’s disappearance has less incentive to come forward.
“How are you going to spend a million dollars when you’re going to be in prison for most of the rest of your life?” he said.
