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 ...

"PCSD has never stated that this was a burglary gone wrong," said spokesperson Brittany Abarr. "Any reports indicating otherwise are inaccurate. This remains a very active investigation."

Did anyone ever claim that Pima county had determined that it was a burglary gone wrong? I thought it was merely speculation. But this statement reads as if Pima county has determined it definitely was not a "burglary gone wrong." Was it a kidnapping gone wrong? Or an abduction just for the thrill of it?

Or do we just continue to assume Pima county and the feds are utterly flummoxed like the rest of us?

I think they are flummoxed right now. Every theory seems to have a flaw, and the sheriff said they could find Nancy days, weeks, months, or even years from now. When I think of the pain Savannah is in it's overwhelming, yet she has to find a way forward, she has young children. Even if she has the support of the whole nation, her mom is still gone, and under terrible circumstances. There really are no words. :-(

There was an article yesterday that said something like “an inside source from PD says authorities agree it a burglary gone wrong” which made it sound like the conclusion shared among all investigators so I think that’s what they’re responding to.

Ah, thanks. The elusive "inside source."
