Megyn Kelly Has New Video of Gang She Suspects Abducted Nancy Guthrie
What To Know
- Megyn Kelly speculated on her show that a transnational criminal group could be responsible for Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
- Security experts debated the theory, with one noting the lack of DNA matches in U.S. databases as a possible indicator of foreign involvement.
- Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for seven weeks.
It’s now been seven weeks since Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona, and investigators have still yet to name any suspects or solid theories on what happened.
Former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly, however, has one leading theory, and that’s the possibility that a transnational criminal group could have been behind the abduction. Kelly brought up the theory on SiriusXM’s The Megyn Kelly Show last week when speaking with security experts James Hamilton and Will Geddes.
“You’ve been saying on this program for a couple of weeks now that you’ve seen video of these South American criminals who were breaking into homes,” Kelly said, per Parade, addressing Hamilton, who previously suggested Nancy’s abductors could be part of a South American breaking and entering crew.
Kelly added, “This is my new number one theory. You’ve got me. Now that I’ve seen the video of these guys, I totally get it.”
The veteran reporter went on to show clips of the breaking and entering crews, saying, “They look a lot like our perp. They have a hoodie sweatshirt on. They have black masks. They have gloves. They are pretty much covered head to toe.”
Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since January 31, when police believe she was abducted from her home. Since then, investigators have released doorbell camera footage of a masked suspect and shared a description of the potential abductor.
While Kelly appeared confident in the transnational criminal group theory, fellow guest Geddes wasn’t so sure. “My gut feeling is it isn’t a B&E (breaking and entering),” he stated. “The simple reason being is the value of the contents of the house. And secondly, the actual disappearance of Nancy’s body itself, you know, her person, it’s vanished.”
Hamilton put forward his argument for the theory, noting the lack of DNA hits as a potential tell. “If you came in here on a tourist visa, you flew in from another country, and you came in through a port of entry, we’re not going to have your DNA. If you haven’t been arrested in the U.S., we’re not going to have your fingerprints.”
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously revealed that DNA tests didn’t yield any matches in the FBI database.
Hamilton did admit that not knowing Nancy’s whereabouts creates some doubt about his theory. “I wrestle on that a lot,” he shared. “But I also know that these guys aren’t stupid. And it’s very difficult for you, as an American, to understand how little human life can be valued… It is a theory, but a lot of things seem to be adding up.”

I believe in people's opinions in mystery cases like this and everyone who contributes may just be adding the missing piece of the puzzle for the detectives. Everyone is hoping Nancy Guthrie survived whatever it was, we are all praying and asking for answers.

Let the authorities do their job. The reporters and guest should stop the speculations, all they want is to increase their ratings.

Interview every Uber driver who picked her up or dropped her off in the past year. Also every parcel service staff who have delivered packages in past year. The guy was wearing running shoes. His legs are muscular. He has done heavy lifting and has or does work for a delivery service like UPS. Use the info we have. Go from that.

I don't think anyone knows for sure what happened to Mrs. Guthrie. Until someone does, everyone should stop guessing what they think happened. Let the FBI do their job.

Some person or persons broke in to rob the house, disturbed Nancy, and she recognized them (maybe their voices or mannerisms). They couldn't leave her behind, and didn't have the stomach to murder her. But, of course, after they took her they had to kill her.

What about the person that claim they saw her and the kidnappers but didn't want to come forward because he had a record and he might not get the money.....if she's dead, then no one is going to keep a body around, so im sure shes buriedd somewhere and tbe kidnappers are long gone.......

That was probably a scam.

I guess Megyn Kelly is now the lead investigator on this case. She seems to be spending a lot of time on it. Not sure how the official investigating authorities are doing.....

I don’t the the sheriff has done a very good job investigating. I thought in the beginning he said they didn’t need FBI help....and now the trail is cold.

J
Yeah, I saw a few interviews the sheriff did with reporters way back in the very early days, and it seemed to me that he wasn't very effective, maybe busier talking to reporters than he was doing his job.

Yeah Megyn it’s gotta be foreigners right? After all they’re eating our cats and dogs as well. She’s such a xenophobe. And they’re so sophisticated they try to cover the door camera with grass and twigs. Kelly just wants attention and people should ignore this bigot.

You don't realize how many criminals and gangs entered into the country as a result of Joe Biden's open border policy. Don't you understand that when you have large numbers of people enter the country who we have no record of their DNA, that is a big problem. Personally, I know 3 people who told me they entered the country through the open border and no fingerprints were taken from them. What do you think will happen when they start coming crimes?

The FBI videos showing them walking through the desert trails is so telling of their ineptitude. The huge bushes could be hiding a lot of clues like gloves, even weapons used in a crime, or even a body. There are huge desert plants / bushes even at Ms Guthrie's residence; it took them forever to search the back gulley behind her house and they never actually went down into it. Living in Phoenix it is amazing how many people throw things into these huge bushes - we have found metal water bottles, ties, sweaters, jackets, etc. - Sheriff Nanos should know this since he heads up an investigative force and actually lives in the desert.

I am thinking that it was a revenge abduction. I think it might have had something to do with Nancy's husband being a mining engineer. Were there any mining disasters?

Kidnapping went very wrong. Nancy probably died during the Kidnapping. Probably while being transported. Kidnappers then disposed of her remains. Sad.
