Police are reaching out to the public for information following the emergence of a new theory involving a local handyman in the Nancy Guthrie case.
Nancy, 84, has been unaccounted for since February 1, when she was taken from her home during the night.
A reward of $1.2 million is currently available for information that leads to Nancy's safe return, yet no suspects have been apprehended or charged in relation to the case.
Forensic specialists and former FBI agents suggest that the abduction of the 84-year-old was an opportunistic crime committed by an individual who was acquainted with her home, daily routines, and the local vicinity.
Some experts have suspected that Nancy probably passed away early in the incident, with the suspect likely having disposed of her remains in a desert area near the Mexican border.
Forensic expert Barbara Butcher expressed her conviction that the motive for the kidnapping was financial profit, but believes that Nancy likely died of shock or heart disease soon after being taken.
