A forensic scientist, Barbara Butcher, stated that Nancy Guthrie may have been targeted by a local worker who assumed her family was wealthy. Butcher speculated that the assailant might have been someone familiar with the area, possibly a handyman, who recognized Guthrie as the mother of Savannah Guthrie. She expressed concern that the absence of a credible ransom demand indicates that Guthrie may have died shortly after her abduction. Butcher suggested that the suspect may have disposed of her body in a remote location. Nancy Guthrie was reportedly taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. Despite the family's willingness to meet ransom demands, her whereabouts remain unknown. The family is encouraging anyone with information to contact the FBI, and there is a reward of over $1.2 million for information that leads to a resolution of the case.
