  Speaker 1: Crime Stories with Nancy Grace.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Breaking news Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie missing, day three.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: What does a mystery car have to do with this? Also,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we are learning the DNA found inside missus Guthrie's home
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: is her DNA. That DNA significant because it leads law
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: enforcement to state that she has been abducted. When asked,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: is abducted to strong over a word to use?
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: The Pima County.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Sheriff says no, she was dragged out of her home,
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: this eighty four year old grandma in the night. I'm
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: Nancy Grace. This is Crime Stories. I want to thank
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: you for being with us, first of all, joining me
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: in All Star panel to make sense of what we
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: are learning right now. We're getting to the DNA found
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: in her home. It's been reported that it was blood.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: We don't know that yet, but we do know it
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: is Nancy Guthrie's DNA. However, it's her home. Of course
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: her DNA is there. So what concerns the police about
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: that DNA?
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: Is it the amount of DNA?
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Is it the location of the DNA. I'm going to
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: get into it, but I need to go to Grace
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Stafford right now, it's doctor Grace Stafford. He is the
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: star podcast zoo Logic, author of zoo Meility. He is
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: faculty member at Grand King University, and so much more.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: But doctor Gray Stafford, let me get right to it.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: You are joining us from Arizona. You're familiar intimately with
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: this jurisdiction. What can you tell me about the terrain
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and the animal life.
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Nancy as her neighborhood, it implies she's located at the
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: base of the Santa Catalina Mountain range, and so with
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: that wild habitat and change of elevation, it's much cooler
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: there than you would see, say in Phoenix, Arizona. Downtown Phoenix.
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: It's about twice elevation the Phoenix, so the daytime and
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: nighttime temperatures are cooler. With that change of elevation, you
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: might get some wildlife coming in from the mountains looking
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: for prey. Animals like mountain lions would not be uncommon
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: to drop into those kind of wild urban areas like
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: where she lives.
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: What do you mean by that?
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: It would not be uncommon for mountain lions to be
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: in the area.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Well, any wildlife is going to look for prey, and
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: with all the human activities there, golf courses and so forth.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: There's a lot of grass. You're going to have prey
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: species like hallalina deer, rabbits and other small mammals, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: so predators like mountain lions frequently will drop in from
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: their more wild habitats to forge and then high tail
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: it out of there back into the mountains.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Gray Again, thank you for being with us. I'm trying
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: to identify what, if any perils she would face.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I don't believe that Nancy Guthrie, who has mobility issues,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: no dementia, no cognitive decline, I do not believe that
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: she walked out of her place.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: On a walk about.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: However, she may be out in that terrain at someone
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: else's by someone else's hand. You stated about the temperatures,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: how they dip at night, how cold it gets. You've
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: told me about the wildlife in the area. Well, can
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: you tell me about the terrain itself around her neighborhood.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Well, it's relatively flat, but it quickly climbs in elevation
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: like any foothills area, and Mountain Lemon is found within
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: this mountain range. It's one of the top highest peaks
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: in Arizona. So you do get a rapid change of
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: elevation once you leave her neighborhood, and exposure is certainly concerned.
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: Although we've had a mild winter, temperatures right now are
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: running ten to twelve degree fair night, higher than normal,
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: but still that's really it's wintertime. It's still rather cool
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: for someone to be out and be exposed to the
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: elements for a long period of time.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: And at her age.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Doctor Gray Stafford straight to Dave mac joining US Crime
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Stories investigative reporter, Dave.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: A lot is happening, and it's happening quickly.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: Number One, we know that DNA is found at the scene.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: That is Nancy Guthries. We know that DNA made police
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: believe that a struggle had ensued and she was actually
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: kidnapped from her home. Hold on, I'm going to take
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: this to Brian Fitzgibbons. Brian, you are being told from
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: your sources that no one will confirm what type of
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: DNA it is, regardless of media outlets insisting that it's blood.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: What do you know.
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: Yeah, so media outlets have provided information that there was blood,
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: but the Pima County Sheriff's Office, in a statement release
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: two media outlets has not confirmed that reporting that they
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: are saying that they've connected the DNA to missus Guthrie,
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: but they will not indicate if that is indeed blood.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Brian Fitzgibbons, There had to be something.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: It just assumed that the media outlets are correct that
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: it is her blood. There had to be something about
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: the blood that raised law enforcements suspicions, because her blood
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: can be on a knife in the kitchen, It could
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: be on the kitchen sink, it could be.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: In the bathroom.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: She may have had a nosebleed, she may have cut
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: her finger, she may have stubbed her toe.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: That's not suspicious.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: What would be suspicious about her blood that would concern
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: law enforcement? Brian Fitzgibbons. Is the amount of the blood?
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Is it a copious amount of blood? Or the location
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: of the blood. Is there blood on the door the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: front door? Is she is being taken out of the door,
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: or the nature of the blood Brian fits Is it
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: a spray indicating a gunshot wound? Is are there is
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: there blood spatter indicating a sharp instrument was used and
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: that she was bludgeoned. So what I'm trying to get
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: at Briaitzgibbons. Just her blood or her DNA there in
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: her home means nothing has gotten to be either the location,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: the amount, or the nature of the blood way in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: fits Gibbons correct.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: And you look at this crime scene as it's been
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: called by p mac County Sheriff Nanos that this is
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: indeed a crime scene, that he does have evidence of
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: a forced entry, that he does have evidence at the
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: crime scene that missus Guthrie left against her will, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 5: you combine that with DNA found at the scene, you
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: know that paints a picture of what we're seeing. Was
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: there a trail of blood leading out to the driveway,
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: Was there blood spatter? Something connected the dots with those
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: other statements that the sheriff made to lead to this
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: conclusion that that DNA connected the dots on this being
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: a potential abduction.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: And again joining us doctor Stafford Gray. Another issue is this,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: when we hear blood, Nancy Guthrie's blood caused.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Concern amongst l E law enforcement.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: That doesn't I'm trying to look at this in a
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: bright light, in the best light possible for missus Guthrie.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: That does not necessarily mean she was bludgeoned or stabbed
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: or shot. Maybe she was struck. Maybe when you are
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: struck in the face, a nose bleed can be very profuse.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You bleed a lot.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: From any injury around your nose or your mouth. So
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: that could be a more innocent explanation. Not a good one,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: but a more innocent one.
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: Yes, it certainly could. And as your other guests pointed out,
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: it's the amount, it's the proximity to the house, the driveway,
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: was it a trail, was it a single spot? A
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: lot of open questions still.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: You know, I want to go back over what we're
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: learning at this hour for those of you just joining us.
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: Nancy Guthrie is eighty four. She is the mom of
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: our friend Savannah Guthrie of NBC Today. She's five five,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: She weighs about one hundred and fifty pounds, brown hair,
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: beautiful blue eyes. She lives alone, upskilled community. Last scene
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Sunday evening.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: At a church function.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Last scene Saturday evening at a church function. The following morning,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: when it's time for her to go to church services. No, Nancy,
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: she has mobility problems. I'm guessing someone came to give
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: her a ride and she didn't come to the door.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: The front door unlocked. We are now learning there are
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: signs of forced entry. The lights in the front of
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: the home were on. We are learning and this isn't
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: helping anything. Brian fitzgibbons that there is a gravel driveway.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: We're not going to get any car prints or any
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: car evidence off gravel.
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: Explain, no, you're not going to collect any And I'll
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: add to this the neighborhood itself. Not only are there
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: dirt and gravel driveways, these houses are set back quite
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: far off of the road, so the chance of catching
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: doorbell camera footage or security camera footage from neighboring houses
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: is very low. In my opinion, when you look at
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: the scenery on that street, it's very unlikely that law
• 9:57
  Speaker 5: enforcement is going to be able to get any significant
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: security footage from neighbors. Just the houses are set back
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: quite a bit off of the road. It looks to
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: be anywhere from fifty to one hundred yards, and there's
• 10:13
  Speaker 5: vegetation along the side of the road for privacy, so
• 10:17
  Speaker 5: you can see you can see that there on the map.
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: As you get down on that road. That vegetation is
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: pretty tall, and I've seen some videos from the road itself.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: So it's going to be unlikely that those cameras are capturing.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Any crime stores with Nancy Grace.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: You know, I've got a time discrepancy. Dave Mac Dave
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Matt Crime Stories, investigative reporter. Maybe it's not a discrepancy
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: because I had a judge, an awesome judge, oldest judge
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: in the courthouse, Luther Alberson, that would tell the jury
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: every jury trial, it is your duty to make all
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: witnesses speak the truth in puny perjury on no one.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: In other words, two statements can both be true and
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: we have to figure out how to reconcile them.
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: We are learning from a neighbor.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: That she was taken out of the home short quote,
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: shortly after being dropped off after church on Saturday night.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: And I guarantee you there is not a church pop
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: look going on at two forty five a m.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: Dave Mac.
• 11:40
  Speaker 6: To be very clear here, Annie Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's older sister,
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: was with her mom and is the last person to
• 11:50
  Speaker 6: see her mom. It was Annie Guthrie who dropped Nancy
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: Guthrie off between ninety nine PM. That's what Annie says.
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: Something else that comes into play Nancy. There was blood
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: drops from the entryway of the house leading out to
• 12:09
  Speaker 6: the driveway. Something else. Lights in the common area I
• 12:15
  Speaker 6: used plural lights in the common area of the home
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: were left on. The front door was unlocked, but there
• 12:22
  Speaker 6: was forced entry, and something else that was said that
• 12:29
  Speaker 6: the doorbelt camera had been removed before law enforcement arrived,
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: and it was phrased just that way. I don't know
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: what that means, but they said it was removed before
• 12:40
  Speaker 6: they arrived. So we've got a woman who cannot walk
• 12:43
  Speaker 6: fifty yards on our own, We've got blood going from
• 12:48
  Speaker 6: the entryway to the driveway, and we do have a
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: neighbor saying he thought she saw a mysterious car in
• 12:58
  Speaker 6: that neighborhood on that road near that house. Shortly after
• 13:03
  Speaker 6: Annie Guthrie dropped your mom off.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Okay, Dave mac, I want you to go through the
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: sailing at points one more time, because every one of
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: them is primitive. Each thing you said proves something.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Start over all right.
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: Annie Guthrie, the oldest daughter of Nancy, was out to
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: dinner with Nancy on Saturday night and dropped her off
• 13:34
  Speaker 6: at her home between nine thirty and nine five pm.
• 13:37
  Speaker 6: That's Annie Guthrie the last person to see Nancy Guthrie.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: We have blood evidence, a blood trail going from the
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: entryway of the home out to the driveway. We have
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: a front door that is unlocked, but polis there was
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: force entry. We have lights on in the common areas
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: of the home. We know that Nancy Guthrie suffers from
• 14:12
  Speaker 6: no type of Alzheimer's or dementia. She sharp as attack,
• 14:16
  Speaker 6: but she has physical issues so that she cannot walk
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: on her own for fifty yards. So we have a
• 14:25
  Speaker 6: neighbor that also says she saw a mysterious vehicle and
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: one she didn't recognize in the neighborhood shortly after the
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: time Nancy Guthrie was dropped off by her oldest daughter Annie,
• 14:40
  Speaker 6: or between nine thirty and nine forty five that evening
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: Saturday night. And by the way, Nancy Guthrie attended church
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: services so regularly. When she did not show up for
• 14:52
  Speaker 6: her eleven AM worship service as usual, by eleven ten,
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: members of the church were on the phone with BAM
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: members saying, Hey, your mom's not at church and that's
• 15:03
  Speaker 6: why any they were over at Nancy Guthrie's home right away.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: They spent an hour looking all inside the home and
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: around the home before they called police and notified them
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: that she was gone.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: I need you to add in, Dave mac what you
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: learned about the door cam.
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: The door cam was shocking to me, Nancy, because of
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: the phrasing that was used in this. Law enforcement says
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: the door camera, the doorbell camera was removed before they arrived,
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: and that was the terminology used that this camera had
• 15:42
  Speaker 6: been removed before they arrived.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Day back again, what did you say about missus Guthrie's
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: doorbell cam being removed?
• 15:52
  Speaker 6: That's what law enforcement says, that she did have one,
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: but that doorbell camera was removed before they made it
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: to her house.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Okay, that puts a whole nother layer of planning onto this,
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: and that is why I'm saying, fitz Gibbons, that this
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: is not random. This is not a guy wandering around
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: and yes, typically it's a man wandering around that upscale
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: neighborhood looking to steal your VCR or seeing your jewelry
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: lying out by your bed, or taking your electronics.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: No, this is not some dope p.
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: Add it coming in to get your oxy for your
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: knee surgery.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: This is targeted. This is not random.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: The mystery car allegation compared with taking her doorbell cam.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: Taking the ring cam put him up. First of all,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: that's the first sign the person's an idiot, because taking
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: dismantling the doorbell cam does not stop what's already been
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: recorded right now. It's in the clouds somewhere, that.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Is correct, and Pema County Sheriff Chris Nanos has indicated
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: that they are making moves right now to get access
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: to that cloud to obtain that footage. And as you mentioned, Nancy,
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: all of these signs knowing the location of a camera
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: or removing it, knowing that Missus Guthrie would be alone,
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: vulnerable at this time, everything points to somebody with insider
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: knowledge of Missus Guthrie.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: Now, Bryan mus Gibbons, when you first heard Dave might
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: report that her doorbell cam had been taken, so all
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: we know taken before law enforcement got there, you said,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: what there was video. The fact that the door cam
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: was taken does not preclude the possibility that there was
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a nanny cam operating on the inside. Maybe in certain
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: areas of the home, like the way the back door.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: There could be other surveillance camera other than the ring
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: door cam. Correct.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: There's a very good possibility that somebody liked Missus Guthrie
• 18:13
  Speaker 5: with an association to her daughter, who's such a public figure,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: would have multiple cameras. It would be difficult to remove
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: all of them in a quick fashion.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: So, Dave Mac, I want to circle back to you,
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: Dave Matt Crime Stories investigative reporter. We understand that at
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: first we were told that the search of the area
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: has been called off and now they're focusing on the
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: missing person aspect, not the recovery finding her in that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: area around the home. But now we're learning, Dave Mac,
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: that law enforcement is going back and they are retracing
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: their steps and then moving outward from the home.
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: What do you know, Dave, They're going to not just
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: go outward from the home, Nancy. They're actually expanding what
• 19:01
  Speaker 6: they were originally doing. When they first started the search,
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: they had a ground game plan to go out and search.
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: But now as they've decided to come back, they obviously
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: have information leading them to this. They're going back and
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: retracing not just their footsteps from their original search, but
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: they're also widening the search, making it a little bit
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: bigger on the side. As they go out from her home.
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: They obviously have some information that has led them back
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: down this path, because if you remember, they very quickly
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: said this type of a search is done. Helicopters were gone,
• 19:37
  Speaker 6: drnes were gone. Well, we got helicopters back in the air,
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: we got drones back in the area. So they're doing
• 19:43
  Speaker 6: another search, retracing their footsteps and expanding it a little bit.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: So Donder Gray Stafford, Star Zoologic podcast zoologist, a consultant,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: author of faculty A they going to encounter as they
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: expand the search. Okay, you're starting in her at her place,
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: and you're going out out, out out out Geographically.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: Well, Nancy, A lot of people have the misconception that
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: Arizona is a very barren terrain. There's actually a lot
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: of wildlife and a lot of plant life here, much
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: of which is very hazardous to walk through because they
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: have thorns and that sort of thing. So moving out
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: from our home, there's going to be trails, they're going
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: to be dry washes. When it rains, water will pass through.
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: We haven't had a lot of moisture this winter, so
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: I suspect that it's going to be very dry in
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: the area, but it still may make passage difficult in
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: some of those thick rush areas, away from trails, away
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: from washes.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Brian Fitzgibbons, don't you see where the facts are leading us?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: This is not random. If this were a random burglary,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: you'd have items taken from the home.
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: We've heard nothing about that. It's not a family member.
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: Now you have to move out someone that knew her
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in the sense that they knew of her.
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: They clearly waited.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Until Annie dropped her off from the evening church event
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: that Saturday night. According to the neighbor, the mystery car
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: was seen shortly after that, which means they knew when
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: she would be dropped off. Either they were there or
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: they already knew. They have an intimate knowledge of her life,
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: that she lives alone. The doorbell cam was taken off
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: the door. A lot is happening here, indicating it's not random.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: So let's run with it. Where do you go?
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: Investigators are going to start looking Nancy at anybody who's
• 22:04
  Speaker 5: in and around that house with a degree of regularity.
• 22:08
  Speaker 5: And I say this not to accuse a landscaper, a
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: pool tech, a home health aid, anybody who's a home
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: cleaner coming into that house regularly. They're going to expand
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: and look at who lives with those people, who do
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: they associate with, Who might hear that Savannah Guthrie's mother
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: lives right down the road, and know that this could
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: be a target. So it may not necessarily be that
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: person that contractor that comes into the house, but it
• 22:38
  Speaker 5: could be somebody that's connected to them. And I can
• 22:40
  Speaker 5: guarantee you that investigators are going thoroughly down that list
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: of individuals that have had regular and consistent access to
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: missus Guthrie's home.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: You know, another issue on Dave mac is Savannah started
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: with me at Court TV. She has covered missing people,
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: She's covered homicide, She's covered it all. She knows all
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: the statistics, she knows all the facts, and this has
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: got to be excruciating for her. I'm trying to paint
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: every fact not only nefariously, but with in the best
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: possible like this has got to be killing her as
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: she gets dribbles in bits of evidence, blood, doorbell, kim gone,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: just dragged from her bed, mystery car.
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: It's heartbreaking.
• 23:45
  Speaker 6: And Nanthy, I will tell you that one of the
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: things that I noticed when we first started looking into
• 23:51
  Speaker 6: this story is how emotional you got, and how many
• 23:55
  Speaker 6: of her Savannah guthriees Cowords, people who have worked with
• 23:58
  Speaker 6: her over the years, how am emotionally got because she
• 24:01
  Speaker 6: is genuinely, truly liked, and she is actually at her
• 24:06
  Speaker 6: wits end. She's yeah, as you mentioned, she's been down
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: this road and covering stories. Savannah Guthrie is reaching out
• 24:13
  Speaker 6: and saying, please pray, pray for my mom. We need
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: her back. She knows all these signs are sadly not good,
• 24:22
  Speaker 6: and yet there's still hope. And there are even signs
• 24:25
  Speaker 6: out in front of the yard somebody had made in
• 24:28
  Speaker 6: front of Nancy Guthrie's home saying we stand with you.
• 24:31
  Speaker 6: You know, Savannah was on her way to covering the Olympics.
• 24:35
  Speaker 6: You mentioned she just returned to the set of the
• 24:38
  Speaker 6: Today Show a week and a half ago after being
• 24:40
  Speaker 6: off for throat surgery then where she couldn't even speak
• 24:44
  Speaker 6: and her voice is just now coming back. It's been
• 24:47
  Speaker 6: a tough time for her over the last couple of months.
• 24:50
  Speaker 6: She just got back on the set and now she's
• 24:52
  Speaker 6: out of course in Arizona to be there to help
• 24:55
  Speaker 6: find her mom. And I think the shocking part of
• 24:58
  Speaker 6: all of this Nancy is. We have an eighty four
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: year old woman of sound mind, but with physical elements
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: preventing her from being able to go more than fifty yards.
• 25:09
  Speaker 6: She has medication she has to take twenty four hours
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: and the max she can go, and we're now well
• 25:17
  Speaker 6: past that. So she's without her medication. She might be hurt.
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: We've got blood going from the entryway to the driveway Nancy.
• 25:25
  Speaker 7: At this hour, we are following up on claims there
• 25:28
  Speaker 7: could be a ransom note with the alleged kidnappers demanding
• 25:32
  Speaker 7: a specific amount of bitcoin and demanding the cryptocurrency be
• 25:36
  Speaker 7: sent to a specific Bitcoin address to add to the mix.
• 25:41
  Speaker 7: The bitcoin address has been verified as real, the alleged
• 25:45
  Speaker 7: note has been forwarded to the PMA County Sheriff's Office
• 25:48
  Speaker 7: and responding to word the possible ransom note, the PMA
• 25:52
  Speaker 7: County Sheriff's Department took to x to say they are
• 25:54
  Speaker 7: quote aware of reports circulating about possible ransom notes regarding
• 25:59
  Speaker 7: the investigation into Nancy Guthrie. We are taking all tips
• 26:02
  Speaker 7: and lead seriously. Anything that comes in goes directly to
• 26:05
  Speaker 7: our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI. A possible
• 26:10
  Speaker 7: break in the case but as yet unverified.
