Nancy Guthrie abduction: A former homicide detective explains what's happening behind the scenes
Description
The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie escalates.
Just hours after Savannah Guthrie issued a public plea, the FBI released disturbing doorbell footage showing a masked, armed suspect disabling Nancy’s camera the night she disappeared.
Overnight, a man detained near the Mexican border in connection with the case was released after authorities carried out a court-ordered search of the property where he had been staying in Rio Rico, Arizona. Federal officials say they are reviewing multiple persons of interest.
Meanwhile, a Bitcoin account referenced in alleged ransom letters showed minor activity after a $6 million deadline passed.
So what does this latest turn mean?
Was the detention a real lead — or a dead end?
And what does the suspect’s behavior on camera reveal?
Kayla Brantley is joined by retired homicide detective Chris McDonough to break down the latest developments and what could come next.
