Obsession With Savannah Guthrie Cited as Most Probable Motive in Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance

Three months after 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home in Tucson's Catalina Foothills neighbourhood on 1 February, investigators are no closer to naming a suspect. More than 30,000 tips have been submitted to authorities, though a source close to the investigation told NewsNation the case has stalled, with few of the leads being actionable at this time.

Now, two retired FBI profilers have gone on record with a theory that cuts to the heart of the case, and it centres not on Nancy, but on her famous daughter. Retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jim Clemente, a former member of the Bureau's Behavioural Analysis Unit, and fellow retired profiler Jim Fitzgerald both believe the abduction is connected to 'Today' show anchor Savannah Guthrie, and that the real target may not have been Nancy at all.
