Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has claimed that missing Arizona pensioner Nancy Guthrie may have been targeted in what is known as a crypto 'wrench attack', arguing that the case bears the hallmarks of an organised extortion network rather than a single opportunist. She shared the theory online as investigators in Pima County continue to examine DNA, surveillance footage and digital evidence in a case that remains unsolved months after Guthrie vanished.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tucson home on the night of 31 January 2026 and was reported missing the following day after relatives realised something was wrong. Authorities quickly treated the case as a suspected abduction, and the FBI joined the inquiry as officers gathered video footage, processed forensic evidence and pursued leads across local and federal channels.
