Intelligence experts and law enforcement agencies are now speaking out about the possible motive behind the kidnapping of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
Sources from local media outlets shared more about how the experts strongly believe that the motive of the kidnappers was most likely linked to her daughter and NBC host Savannah Guthrie.
They referred to how it was not just any random crime after a ransom note demanding millions in bitcoin was being circulated online.
Some analysts feel strongly that finances are not the sole motive. Instead, the focus is more linked to a possible link to her daughter, who is a high-profile TV journalist. One other theory speaks about how the kidnapper might have had an obsession with Savannah or a grievance linked to her public life, and therefore, they chose to make Nancy a target due to her daughter's fame.
Investigators have further gone on to note that surveillance equipment around Nancy's home was deliberately disabled before she vanished, and blood evidence indicates more about how she might have been taken against her will.
