Nancy Guthrie case: FBI urged to take over investigation as disappearance remains unsolved after six months
People are “shocked and disturbed” that authorities have made no significant progress since Nancy Guthrie was allegedly abducted from her bed at her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February 1. Despite six months of investigation, her case remains unsolved, prompting calls to hand the case over to the FBI. According to sources, the FBI should have been involved from the start as they have the necessary forensic and photographic expertise to aid the investigation.
Critics argue that infighting between law enforcement agencies has hindered progress. Retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente also pointed out that crucial evidence may have been mishandled at the crime scene, with blood spatter evidence released immediately and the first video of the suspected abductor not recovered for 10 days. The Pima County Sheriff's Department has released two handwritten notes believed to have been written by the same individual, offering a $1 million reward for information leading to a conviction.
