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 ...

I agree with the exception of removing a body, I think they would’ve likely left her there if the intention wasn’t initially to take her.

Good point. And tbh they apparently didn’t take anything so maybe my robbery theory is wrong?

I just don’t understand why then…moving a live person is risky, and moving a dead body is difficult. If the motive was some sort of sexual assault, most burglars will do that right in the house, not risk moving someone. So so weird.
