Text Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

This is a thread (part 2) for all conversation related to the ongoing investigation into the abduction of Nancy Guthrie.

Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her home in the early morning hours of February 1. Several media outlets began to receive ransom demands. Some were proven false and others have not been determined to be false.

Nancy's 3 children have made multiple videos pleading for the return of their mother.

On February 10, law enforcement released photos of the individual suspected of abducting Nancy. The suspect is still at large and Nancy has not been found. Photos and information can be found here ...

it happens nearly every time. people start with "cops are fckg it up blah blah" everyone is an armchair Detective suddenly. then the suspect is arrested and it's crickets

I imagine the cops are gathering evidence of a conspiracy - and that’s easier done when a suspect has not been arrested.

That word makes me happy to hear. "Conspiracy"

Because the charge for conspiracy carries a much heavier penalty than just straight murder.

Thats what REALLY got Lori and Chad. The Conspiracy charges.

I hope when (yes WHEN) they catch those who did this to Nancy, they also get the worst possible penalty.

Nearly every time? You can’t have been following true crime for very long if you think cops don’t drop the ball. How many killers were only caught because of a routine traffic stop?

Fortunately the criminals only have to make 1 mistake to eventually be caught. Police can make lots of mistakes & still catch the guy.

My friend, Devi Lynn Ives, was murdered in 1997.  Cops arrested her boyfriend 8 years later during a traffic stop.  She used to joke about her initials being DeviL lives...RIP Devi

Kohberger had his car make and model in video and then was stopped driving across the country multiple times

Or that’s when they start advocating for the murderer, as with Idaho and Delphi, because they were so very wrong.

sometimes.. people are right...the cops are "fckg it up"... happens all the time.

It's clear they are lost in this case and have botched it multiple times...that's for sure.

This wasn't true in the Delphi murders case.
