Retired FBI Profiler Says Blood Pattern Points to Coughing and Lone Abductor in Nancy Guthrie Case

Police have not named a suspect as forensic testing continues.

Overview

  • In a NewsNation review this week, retired FBI profiler Jim Clemente said porch droplets show Nancy Guthrie was close to the ground and may have coughed up blood.
  • He said a smear on the walkway and the point where the stains stop indicate she was likely picked up and carried.
  • Clemente argued the scene supports a single kidnapper, citing no clear signs of extra shoe prints or multiple movements.
  • Investigators earlier released doorbell video of a masked visitor at the home, but they have not identified that person.
  • Guthrie, 84, was reported missing in early February from her Tucson home, and police believe she was abducted as her family offers a $1 million reward.
