Nancy Guthrie was likely targeted because of daughter Savannah Guthrie's public profile and wealth, a retired detective has suggested, as the search for the 84‑year‑old missing woman in Tucson, Arizona, enters its fifth month with no arrests and no named suspect.
The theory was put forward by former Modesto Police Department detective Jon Buehler, who worked on the Laci Peterson case, in an interview with NewsNation. He said the abductor may have viewed Nancy as a 'source of ransom' linked to Savannah's profile and may have left digital traces that investigators could still use.
