Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1 by her family. Authorities believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, the night before. A retired FBI agent has suggested that the blood stain pattern indicates Guthrie put up a fight with her abductor or abductors.
Jim Clemente, a retired FBI supervisory special agent and profiler, appeared on Brian Entin's NewsNation show, for the April 22 episode. He explained that the blood splatter pattern indicates Guthrie was likely threatened and controlled by her abductor, who used a gun to get her to the front door.
The ex-law enforcement official added that it was never a good sign if a perpetrator wanted to take a victim away from a certain location, as it often meant they'd be taking the victim somewhere where the assailant will have more control and privacy.
Clemente also suggested that Guthrie fought her abductor, either inside the door or just outside, and was likely blitzed with overwhelming force, punched in the face or the nose, and began bleeding.
Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie's friend Gayle King spoke about the case with US Weekly, saying that her hearts are still aching and breaking for Savannah, and that she's still hoping that somebody will do the right thing and come forward with information.
