A pioneer of the FBI's criminal profiling methods has offered a theory behind the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, suggesting the suspect may have targeted the elderly woman for personal reasons.
Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home on 1 February 2026. Surveillance footage captured a masked individual approaching her front door shortly before she disappeared, and investigators later confirmed that blood recovered from the property matched her DNA, indicating she was likely abducted. As the investigation continues, Dr Ann Burgess says behavioural clues suggest the crime may have been driven by a specific motive rather than chance.
