As the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its third month, a disturbing new theory suggests the perpetrator may no longer be alive.
In the new documentary “NewsNation Presents: The Nancy Guthrie Mystery,” Senior Correspondent Brian Entin takes a deeper dive into the case alongside leading criminal profiling experts Dr. Ann Burgess, Dr. Gary Brucato, and Dr. Casey Jordan.
In the clip obtained by Parade, Dr. Burgess suggests the abduction may have involved more than one person, including a “boss” who orchestrated the crime behind the scenes.
Nancy Guthrie Update: Why Expert Thinks Suspect Is No Longer Alive?
The renowned profiler also theorizes that the perpetrator in the Nancy Guthrie abduction may have already been killed by the boss.
“I just had a thought. That person [on Nancy’s stoop] may have been eliminated,” Dr. Burgess explains. “It was well-planned. They got away with it. And they pulled a type of case that we’ve never seen before, as far as we know.”
Meanwhile, criminal psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato suggests a broader structure behind Nancy’s disappearance.
“If he is caught, if he’s alive and is caught, he will lead down the spider web to the center,” Dr. Brucato adds, echoing the theory of a mastermind behind the scenes.
The expert continues, “That amateur hour kind of quality is interesting also, and suggests to me a difference in intelligence. Some schemer behind the scenes, and this character who is the sort of hired or asked to do this. I don’t believe this person worked alone… I think there is a little group of people.”
Expert Believes Suspect Knew Nancy Guthrie
Criminologist Dr. Casey Jordan also shares her theory that the suspect likely knew Nancy Guthrie.
“This person knew her. I don’t think she [Nancy Guthrie] knew this person,” Dr. Jordan explains. “It could have been somebody who saw her on the ‘Today Show’ with her daughter, Savannah.”
Meanwhile, Entin explains to Parade why the Nancy Guthrie case has captured so much public attention.
“I think initially it was because it was Savannah Guthrie’s mom, and there was sort of the celebrity element,” Entin explains. “But the more I’ve covered it, the more I actually think it’s because she’s an older woman, 84 years old, I think people like me, you relate to your parents getting older.”
NBCUniversalHe continues, “There’s always this sense of uneasiness that someone’s gonna take advantage of them, or you think of the people who go to their houses, but it’s contractors or whether it’s a home health [aide], you’re always kind of on guard, even with the scammers now…people are always calling old people and scamming them. I think people connected to this, for that reason, because they thought of their own parents and how vulnerable they are, and it’s sort of this like fear that so many of us live with.”
“NewsNation Presents: The Nancy Guthrie Mystery” airs Wednesday, May 6, at 9 p.m. ET on the CW.
You all are so blind. And by the way you’re all wrong. I’m a clairvoyant you’re way off.
I totally agree. I feel it is the son in law something about the inheritance . I kinda would like to know your take. Yes I am also very intuitive. Feel it was an inside job.
Also, how do they know the ”abductor is no longer alive’.? It’s like a bad novel.
I do agree every day some so called expert has a new wild theory they say anything to put their twist on the situation. It is Wilder with every so called retired FBI agent. Quit guessing and find a way to find this poor woman. Whatever the turn out she deserves respect and to be brought home.
Why don’t they quit the BS and leave it alone. It seems like they’re just saying stuff so people wonder . jJust quit the BS and tell us the truth if you know it!!!!!!
Haven’t id the masked person on porch cam . It’s been 3 mths. Has to be a mastermind behind it. But why ????? Will we ever know????
I think it was her daughter’s husband it’s always about the money
I feel an inside job and the daughter Annie and son in law behind this for the money. Also why the Hell would you leave an 84 year alone with health conditions????? Savannah and siblings should have hired someone to stay there also they had a back house (mother-inlaw’s quarters in the back where someone could have stayed there. They had the money to protect their mother and to watch her. Something is fishy here and more to the story than what the American people are hearing.
I have said this from the very beginning!!!! Not the exact same but close.
These were people who had access to her house. They knew the layout. They knew the neighbbohood. They knew where the cameras were. I think it was the roofers. They saw she lived alone and is clearly wealthy. Then they found out who she is. They planned to kidnap her for a ransom but when the henchman went in to get her, she put up a struggle and he hit her. Hence the blood from her nose on the front porch. She probably had a heart attack and died. The big shot behind the plan killed whoever was in charge of getting her out alive because now that she’s dead, she’s not going to make them any ransom money. They killed whoever went in for 2 reasons. #1 to keep them quiet. #2 because they didn’t do the job of bringing her back alive.
That has been my theory since I learned of the blood on her porch.
My roommate has a pretty good idea of what could have happened that the only part of it being involved with Savannah is the news and media this all has to do with immigration and ice it’s the illegal immigrants trying to get back at us and make us feel when it feels like to have a family member taken from us think about it close to the border think about it
