Nancy Guthrie Update: Grim Details Emerge from Detective's Analysis of Crime Scene
A former detective is offering a grim interpretation of evidence from the early stages of the Nancy Guthrie investigation.
In a new interview with NewsNation’s Brian Entin, Jon Buehler broke down what he believes crime scene findings may indicate, raising questions about what happened in the moments surrounding Guthrie’s disappearance.
Buehler said that he doesn’t believe that Guthrie is alive, based on a number of factors.
“The reason I’m fearful she didn’t survive the abduction is kind of twofold,” he told Entin. “No. 1, no instantaneous demand for a reward with indication that she’s fine and that they’ll release her. That’s a pretty big stretch there to think that she survived it. But the amount of blood that was present there in the front of the house suggests to me a wound that was bleeding a lot, probably not arterial, but bleeding a lot. And with poor health and age on a pacemaker in fear, and him trying to get her to comply, that’s why I just don’t think she survived it.”
Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities believe that she was abducted from her Arizona home in the middle of the night. Despite receiving thousands of tips, investigators have not been able to identify a suspect or make an arrest in the case. Moreover, Guthrie still has not been located.
Anyone with information about Guthrie’s whereabouts or the person or persons behind her disappearance are asked to call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
