Nancy Guthrie remains missing after her family reported her disappearance on February 1. Authorities believe she was taken from her home the night before. A 'wrench attack' theory had emerged, suggesting a hired assailant was involved in a ransom demand. However, the Pima County Sheriff's Department has rejected this theory, citing no reports of 'wrench attacks' in the community.
Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has raised five critical questions in the case, questioning the department's decision to junk the theory. She asked whether the possibility of a 'wrench attack' was explored, and if the department's experience was sufficient to rule out the theory.
Coffindaffer also asked the FBI if they are investigating the case, and if they know who is behind the kidnapping. She noted that no suspect has been publicly named, and the FBI is assisting the Pima County cops in testing forensic evidence.
The former FBI agent's questions have sparked debate in the case, with some questioning the department's decision to reject the 'wrench attack' theory.
