Nancy Guthrie Forensic Evidence Points to Chilling New Detail in Her Abduction
What To Know
- A retired FBI agent opened up about blood spatter patterns found at the scene of Nancy Guthrie’s presumed abduction.
- The expert explained that the blood evidence suggests the 84-year-old was ‘wrapped up’ and ‘carried out.’
- Nancy has been missing for over six weeks, with law enforcement continuing to chase leads.
A retired FBI special agent believes it’s unlikely that missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie walked out of her home on her own accord and was instead “wrapped up in something” and carried out.
Maureen O’Connell, an ex-FBI agent, shared her assessment based on forensic evidence and the pattern of blood found outside Nancy’s front door. Appearing on Brian Entin Investigates on Sunday (March 8), O’Connell said, “I doubt that [Nancy] walked out because there were no voids [in the blood spatter].”
“So, let’s say the pattern of the blood is concentrated here, but the sphere is this big, it’s round, you would have a void here from one foot or from another foot or from something,” she explained, per InTouch. “There don’t appear to be any voids.”
As for what this means, O’Connell said that, in her mind, “[Nancy’s] wrapped up in something and they’re carrying her out. The shape of the blood droplets… they’re all round and the sphere is intact. That means it went straight down. It wasn’t moving at speed.”

Nancy, the mother of Today’s Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since January 31, when police believe she was abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona. Since then, investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and shared a description of the potential abductor. Photos also show blood spatter at the front of the property.

As of writing, no suspects or persons of interest have been named publicly by law enforcement. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously stated that Savannah and her family have been ruled out as suspects. Nanos also confirmed the blood on the stoop belonged to Nancy.
Fellow retired FBI agent Jim Clemente wasn’t fully on board with O’Connell’s theory. He agreed that the droplets suggest the blood dripped “straight down” and “wasn’t moving at speed.” But if Nancy was wrapped up, Clemente noted, “She wasn’t wrapped up well.”
Clemente offered an alternative theory, saying that if Nancy had tried to fight the suspect, it could have resulted in her suffering an injury that made her bleed.

I think she's dead. Any woman that age is on some type of medication. She has to get it somewhere?? I'm sure they didn't bring it w/them. It's been way too long & nothing has been found! I hope something is found real soon for everyone's sake.

I don't think it was a kidnapping. I think it was a planned murder and body removal. The motive could be all over the place, but who benefits would be a good starting point.

I believe it is SATG or similar due to jammers used. They have targeted my area and are using various groups such as cartels, new parolees. They use various ploys. Here in SC, they used internet door to door sales, fake policeman, I’m 70 and one tried to force his way in my house after being told to leave. They threatened my daughter’s family when told to leave. The one that came to my house committed a home invasion the next day on a neighbor. They travel in groups of like a dozen hut pair off. They watched my house for 10 months. They rent or squat and travel like gypsies. They use jammers. They erased or blocked the video when he tried to get in my house. My dog chased him off. Be careful and don’t open your door to strangers. They come as utility workers and all sorts. Call the service they represent but don’t open the door. Verify by phone first but by your research and not numbers they give you.

The family failed at securing their loved one. They had enough money for better security and took it for granted their loved one is ok. She should have had better alarms, people checking on her etc. With what is going on with illegals in the country they may have picked Nancy because she did not have security.

But, who want to abduct a senior her age? You would think a person her age would be hard to handle and keep alive! I can see robbery but why add kidnapping to it? The reason is the big question!

As a 60+ woman with thin skin on durietics, if I were pushed up against the metal storm door in a hurried exit my arm would easily tear and bleed like that while I stand there trying to stop the bleed. Too easy for thin skin to tear very easily against anything.

The blood spatter on the front porch is very clearly "Staged".
1- Its a blood spatter pattern for one entering the home (Step to the right to open the door), it is not a blood spatter pattern for one exiting the home (Straight across the threshold, turning Left to close the door)
2- No foot prints in the blood spatter (difficult to avoid on a dark porch)
3- No continuation of blood spatter across the White walkway from the porch (stops on the porch).
All of this evidence points to a "Staged" crime scene.. The FBI certainly understands this to be the case. This is why they are not playing along with the abduction theory.

Hello! Just read the news article and am not impressed. First, the blood splatters found at the entry could have been there before she went missing - she was outside gardening, etc and with all the bushes, cacti, etc probably cut herself and went inside to get a bandage. Also, that being among the probables, I lived in Phoenix many years and often went outside my home to tend to bushes, etc and sometimes I did get cut and it did bleed on the entry going into my home Secondly, everyone is just assuming that she was abducted. I have thought all along that she may have gone outside to check on a package delivery when she got home (there was a package delivered at her door in one of the photos) and the heavy security door closed behind her. I mean who takes a phone and your purse with you to check out a delivery? Given that synopsis, and the fact that the police inspector stated there were blood drops on the pavement leading down toward the driveway, she may have gone down to try and find something to break a window or ? to get in, thus the broken glass at the entry. She may also have gone around the back where she also had to try and get in, thus the "forced entry" the police found. If she was actually unable to get enough clearance to actually enter her home, she may have started to walk out toward the front and seek help.

Savannah did it, she has the height, same color eyes and theres no man that's looking to kidnap someone, going to play around with a door camera, a man would of ripped it off, and broke in, but there was no sigh a breaking in, savannah did it cuz she had a way in

With this well orchestrated and metered release of "information ", how this sheriff has proceeded, how he uses his "own" privately funded DNA facility not the FBI's, it is my belief that he is working for his future. Either a movie deal or a Blog or something when this comes to an end. Stay tuned this whole thing stinks.

I think she had an argument with someonend the lost their temper and accidentally killed her. They panicked and carried her body out of the house and dumped her somewhere. It’s so messed up.
