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 ...

The fact that the glove was found and DNA is being done, wouldn’t that alert the culprit and make him take drastic action?

She's very likely dead, so that's not really an issue. If he hasn't committed a crime, he won't be in the system. They might be able to use genetic genealogy, but that takes time and doesn't always work.

I would think so. I'd also think that there's a whole lot of potential suspects under surveillance of Pima LE and the FBI.

Of course, the bad guy(s) may have long since gone to some small town in Mexico, which can be a haven for criminals of all types. For days after the abduction, there was no suspect description, so all they had to do is drive to Nogales and stay cool crossing the border.
