Amid various theories about Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, one speculation is that the suspect may be a woman. Retired FBI agent Maureen O'Connell suggested this possibility, citing her sister's belief. Some people agree, pointing out that the suspect may have feminine features or be wearing a second mask beneath the stocking cap.
However, others have questioned this theory, noting that realistic feminine masks can be easily purchased online and could potentially fit beneath a stocking cap. The FBI is still working with the Pima County Sheriff's Department and labs around the country to sort through thousands of hours of video footage and analyze DNA evidence found inside Nancy's Arizona home.
