Nancy Guthrie Mystery Case Update: It is five weeks since Nancy Guthrie disappeared off her Tucson, Arizona house, and police are still following numerous leads in a case that has attracted the attention of the whole nation. Guthrie, who was a mother of journalist Savannah Guthrie, vanished on January 31 and has since caused an investigation of high profile, drawing in thousands of tips and over $1.2 million in rewards.
Law enforcers are evaluating six theories, which include burglary, ransom kidnapping, and possible involvement of professionals or cartel associations. There is also an internet outage in the recent past that the FBI has been probing in the area, which can have caused a break in the security cameras and the door bell systems.
Theories include:
Crime-solving officers looked into the fact that it may be a case of a burglary as the streets were quiet in the neighbourhood. But nothing seems stolen and the actions of the suspect, such as carrying a weapon in an open place do not fit the general patterns of burglary.
Initial conjecture was based on the ransom motive, with Savannah Guthrie being well-known in the media, and is estimated to have a fortune of $40 million. Professionals point out lack of post follow-up requests or life evidence. There are those who think that a kidnapping has gone wrong and it could be as a result of a struggle or a medical emergency.
Other detectives think of insider jobs as CCTV footage depicts the same masked man going to the property earlier that day before the night of the disappearance, indicating that he planned the disappearance and knew the layout of the house.
Having received 40,000 tips, the authorities continue to assemble clues. More sophisticated DNA analysis is being conducted and police are watching video footage around the locations. Authorities insist on the need to have someone who can identify the masked face to come out.
The Pima County law enforcement is also going around the neighborhood and questioning residents regarding the internet outage. The case is being perceived by the investigators as very urgent and all the available resources are being used to follow up leads.
Nancy Guthrie, who lives in Tucson, was the center of investigation across the country after she vanished. Her family has been encouraging the masses to help in recognizing the masked face taken in the photography.
The detectives have created a timeline of the hours before her disappearance. Guthrie was no longer seen at home, after she was dropped off by her son-in-law, about 9:50 p. m. A video taken later by surveillance cameras showed a masked man standing outside the house at 1:47 a.m., which turned off the doorbell camera. At 2: 28 a.m., her pacemaker tracking app went offline, which may be the time when she was stolen. Subsequently, there was a blood shed at the front porch, which led to a complete crime scene investigation.
Although it is still under investigation, it is not clear what happened to Guthrie. All leads are being investigated and forensic evidence is being examined at special laboratories.
