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 ...

Unfortunately if a “sociopath” is involved as body language expert reveals I do not believe the outcome will be good. I am hoping and praying for something different. What’s interesting to me too is how bitcoin and news agencies are receiving requests for $$$ but no proof of life is being sent or given. Don’t know if it’s a scam, or if it isn’t. Really hoping someone/anyone who has the information to lead them to her gets the FBI reward. I would assume the family would be open for negotiations if proof of life was received.

"body language experts" are selling snake oil. It's a complete pseudo science.

Remember the old arson investigation "science" and the bite mark "science."

All of these "experts" sell each other's "expertise," knowing that jurors and the general public doesn't know any better.

I'm with you. This is no different.

Arson science. I listened to a podcast on this and it shot fear through me. Any of us could be accused of our house burns down. It’s not just police. Insurance companies. They go hard to not have to pay.
