Expert Reading of Blood at Nancy Guthrie Home Points to Violent Struggle

Investigators remain without a named suspect despite ongoing FBI DNA testing.

Overview

  • Retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente, in Wednesday’s NewsNation interview, said porch blood patterns show Nancy Guthrie was close to the ground and likely coughed up blood.
  • He said the trail appears to end as if she was lifted and carried and he reads the scene as the work of a single attacker.
  • Authorities have confirmed through DNA that the porch blood is Guthrie’s and have released video of a masked person at her door, yet no suspect has been identified.
  • FBI testing of collected DNA, including hair and a glove recovered about two miles from the home, has not produced a match in national databases.
  • The Guthrie family is offering a $1 million reward and investigators continue wide video reviews and tip checks as the suspected kidnapping case stays active.
