Retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente has laid out what he believes happened in the Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case, saying blood evidence at the 84-year-old's Tucson home points to a violent struggle and an abductor who used 'overwhelming force'. In a detailed US television interview on Wednesday, 22 April, Clemente said the blood spatter and doorbell camera footage suggest Savannah Guthrie's mother fought back, while the suspect also made a series of crucial errors.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona, earlier this year. Her disappearance triggered a major search, intense national coverage and a $1 million family reward for information leading to her recovery. Local investigators have since been joined by the FBI, which recently took over analysis of a key hair sample linked to the scene after it was transferred from a private Florida laboratory.
