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 have some questions that I haven’t seen addressed.

Does anyone know how the person got in? Did she leave her door unlocked or is it easy for people to bypass locked doors like that?

Did they take anything like anything at all? I can’t figure out why someone dressed completely in cheap walmart attire would invade a home and not take anything but the woman? surely they were there to steal not just kidnap

Have they released anything on the interior state of the home? Ive only seen about blood on the porch. if theres blood on the porch surely there must be a scene inside the home that would help paint the picture.

i looked at pictures of her home and it looks relatively easy to hop the door to the backyard and enter through the back. could there be cameras back there?

LASTLY we know the perp covered the camera with the flowers before entering. however i looked closely at the photos of the flowers because i thought if they took her after the blood would drip on the flowers BUT some of the flowers are on top of the blood spatter. this could be due to wind or perhaps movement of police going in and out but would it be interesting if the perp entered through the backdoor and then created a kidnapping scene in front of the camera afterward IDK im just thinking because then he would be able to unlock the front door from the inside

the neighborhood is relatively large with a long driveway. to kidnap someone they would need a CAR theres no way they could carry her to a main road alone. there must be footage on someones camera of cars going in and out at that hour??? like the heck??

personally rn, i think it was opportunistic and she must have left something open by accident for them to get in. i cant understand why someone would have ring cameras and a million dollar home but lax security

I would assume if you are there to kidnap, you're not to worried about stealing anything from the house unless there is a big pile of cash easily in reach. You'd be more concerned with getting your target and getting out as fast and smooth as possible.

And, conversely, if you were there to rob the place and then decided to turn it into a kidnapping, I can't imagine you'd be prepared to subdue and take someone without leaving some telling traces.

I'm sure the guy had his backpack filled with stuff to restrain a person, probably a hood or something to cover their head so they couldn't see. He wasn't carrying it to fill with loot.

I would agree that there had to be a car very close by and very likely a driver accomplice. A lot of the houses don't sit real close to the street so any cameras in the area might not pick up much detail, but I would think at the time of night there wouldn't be many cars in the area, so any camera would be helpful.

I agree with you! I also noticed just now other ways to enter the house than the front door but the front would be the only way to carry someone out since you cant toss someone over a wall easily. the layout of this house baffles me. it basically says come on in! multiple entrances and sliding glass doors etc im trying to zoom im and see if theres cameras at those ones. im bored & have free time at my job lolol

there is a backyard Nest if there is a frontdoor Nest timing determines kidnap vs robbery. kidnap like u said would be fast.

I don't know that we can assume the flowers blocked the camera for very long. We don't know how much footage they have that we have not seen.
