A former FBI special agent believes authorities may be close to identifying those responsible for Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
Stuart Kaplan, an ex-FBI special agent, told “Fox & Friends Weekend” on Saturday that the FBI and police are “zeroing in” on potential suspects after a vehicle was taken from Nancy’s property on Friday night.
Kaplan noted that advanced technology deployed by the FBI will ultimately serve as the catalyst to break the case wide open.
“I think the FBI and its partners are zeroing in and that the noose is getting tighter and tighter,” Kaplan added. “I think every time you see law enforcement go back to the house, they have in some capacity, additional digital footprints that require them to go back and corroborate or to dismiss or dispel or to confirm.”
Ex-FBI Agent Says Seized Car at Nancy Guthrie’s Home May Be Critical to Case
Kaplan also pointed out that Friday’s investigative efforts, which involved the seizure of a car from Nancy’s home, could yield crucial information.
“And I see this latest event of taking this car, may be one of those confirmations. It may be that this car may have been shared with someone else,” Kaplan explained.
The former agent continued, “We haven’t heard a lot about people that would come and help or assist Nancy, whether it was home healthcare aides, or just people that would come and maybe take her to the supermarket or to the beauty parlor.”
Kaplan noted that if the car has been used by someone other than Nancy, authorities may have seized it for forensic analysis.
“If, in fact, this car may have been commonly used, they may have retrieved this car for forensic analysis to see whether or not there is any fiber or hair samples, or GPS tracking to see if, in fact, prior to last Sunday, was this car used by someone to go somewhere?” he added.
Kaplan Says Case is Close to Being ‘Broken Wide Open’
When asked about his opinion on whether the suspects know Nancy personally, Kaplan said there’s “no doubt” the person was familiar with her.
“This was someone who was familiar and intimate with Nancy Guthrie, her relationship with her daughter, her health issues, her medical issues,” he explained. “There’s no doubt there was planning and plotting in connection with going to this house last week.”
Kaplan expressed confidence that the FBI will soon make a breakthrough, saying, “The FBI has a lot of information. It’s being kept close to the vest. This case is on the precipice of being broken wide open.”
Is it wide for all the “talking heads” on TV news programs to be making comments about this investigation when a woman’s life is at risk?
I think it’s her daughter Annie/SIL knows something.. in my opinion they were the last to see her and who knows the mom home better than anyone?
After reading this story i do believe that Annie and her husband well as the caretaker all of them surroundings her has lots to do with this because they are ones that knows the family well.
I agree with you that Annie and her husband know something.
I just pray that she still with us and comes back home soon May God bless them
