Nancy Guthrie’s probe has not received any breakthrough for two months. While investigators continue to struggle to find any possible leads, the case has taken an uncertain turn. On the other hand, the lack of ransom calls has given rise to fresh theories about the possible motive of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers. Especially, experts are now discussing whether Nancy was truly the target or someone else around her. In turn, an expert believe the Guthrie family might still be under threat.
Expert hints at a threat to the Guthrie family
According to former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit researcher, Ann Burgess, the main reason behind Nancy’s abduction could be more personal than anyone thinks. Ann sat down for a conversation with NewsNation’s Brain Enting Investigates and suggested that Nancy or money was possibly not the primary target of the abductors. Instead, they intended to create an emotional impact on Savannah Guthrie, her daughter. In Ann’s words:
“Who in her orbit, let’s call it family, could be friends, would be hurt the most [by her kidnapping]? And I think you can answer… It’s a very mean, angry, horrible thing to do. And then if it goes wrong, which obviously it did, I think it doesn’t make sense that she would be a target to do more than abduct her.”
