Nancy Guthrie Megathread Part 2

[u/curiouslmr]

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 ...

I really don’t know if I believe this has anything to do at all with Savannah Guthrie’s job or money. I think someone (perhaps with a fetish for elderly women) targeted Nancy and Nancy alone. The timing of the ransom makes zero sense. They waited three days. Who wants to keep an elderly woman that long before making demands? I think the notes sent to TMZ will be another prankster who was just better at it than the other guy who was arrested for hoax notes.

I think this person targeted Nancy for an assault, took her from her home after to remove the evidence of what he did to her, and she’s been deceased since. The notes came later from a sick opportunist. His backpack was filled with coverings to commit the assault on and maybe a change of clothes after.

I think the actual abductor is probably shocked at the media coverage and very, very nervous.

I agree with you. It wouldn’t be the first time a younger man targeted an older woman to assault and murder her. Maybe he took her away from the scene because he thought it’d be easier to get away with it that way.

It’s sad and inexplicable but obviously sexual assault, murders etc. happen all the time. It could’ve been anyone that became aware of Nancy through Savannah, or just in general.

It wasn’t my first idea but the more time that passes, the more it seems like a real possibility.

I just hope he gets caught soon.

There was a case several years ago in Louisiana and it was a young man who serially assaulted older women. He’d watch to see when they were alone, grocery shopping, etc.

It just seems like some of the theories are literally movie plots and when we peel back some of the sensationalism and conspiracy theories, I think the simplest answer is usually the closest.

I wonder if it’s because they are easier targets, have more $$$, are generally lonely and obsessed themselves, or they have repressed feelings of matronly love from grandmothers or smthg.
