Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has claimed that missing Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, 'sadly died' in what she believes was a calculated kidnap-for-ransom plot, even as investigators admit they still have no suspect, no confirmed motive and, crucially, no sign of Nancy.
The news came after weeks of painstaking work by the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff's Department, who say 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was forcibly taken from her Tucson home in the early hours of 1 February. Sheriff Chris Nanos has said all members of the Guthrie family, including spouses, have been cleared as possible suspects. Despite a stream of tips, several search warrants, and days of combing through surveillance footage, the case remains stubbornly open-ended.
