Nancy Guthrie’s Blood Evidence Finally Confirms the Number of Her Abductors, According to Ex-FBI
Although there’s little confirmed information regarding Nancy Guthrie‘s sudden disappearance, authorities haven’t given up on the case. Police believe Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was abducted from her Arizona home in the early hours of Feb. 1, 2026.
Law enforcement is still considering multiple scenarios, including the possibility that more than one person may have been kidnapped Guthrie. However, retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jim Clemente offered a different take, suggesting that the blood spatter found on Guthrie’s front porch is more consistent with one individual acting alone.
“If there was no blood spatter pattern inside the house, then outside by the front door or while she was going through the door this is where she put up a fight or refused to go any further,” he told Fox News Digital on April 27.
Clemente continued, “This is where she was assaulted. Most likely struck in the nose or mouth. She fell to her knees or on the ground, aspirated, then coughed up blood, which also dripped around the same spot.”
“It rules out more than one person because if two people had control of her as they were leaving the house she would never have fallen to the ground,” he explained. “They would have been in control of her body and prevented her from resisting and fighting and falling after she was struck in the face.”
The former FBI profiler previously spoke with NewsNation’s Brian Entin about the masked assailant and theorized that the culprit is “doing what he can to change his appearance, to change the appearance of his car” to get away with the crime.
He added that the criminal is likely trying to “get as much distance between himself and this crime scene as possible” and “as much distance between himself and the victim as possible.”
As for a potential motive, Clemente believes it could all lead back to money. But he also noted that something clearly went wrong, saying, “In order to get that money, he would have to control her, take her, threaten her life. The fact is clearly that actually didn’t happen in these circumstances.”
