Expert Suggests Nancy Guthrie's Kidnapping May Be Retribution Against Her Family
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show presenter Savannah Guthrie, was kidnapped from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on January 31. Blood was found on the front porch, indicating a violent incident. Dr. Ann Burgess, a former FBI Behavioral Analysis Unit researcher, has proposed that the kidnapping might be an act of retribution against Savannah Guthrie or her family. Dr. Burgess suggests that Nancy Guthrie may not have been the intended target, but rather her abduction was meant to hurt someone close to her. The profiler believes that law enforcement has likely discussed the possibility of the kidnapping being linked to Savannah's public profile, including any past threats or negative communications she might have received. Dr. Burgess also speculates that more than one person was involved in the kidnapping, which could increase the chances of solving the case.
