Investigators Believe Nancy Guthrie Is the Victim of a 'Targeted Kidnapping'
Nancy Guthrie's blood was found on her front porch.
Nancy was last seen by family members of the evening of January 31, and the sheriff has stated he believes she is the victim of a "targeted kidnapping." A trail of blood confirmed to be Nancy's was notably found on her front porch.
Since her disappearance, the FBI has released surveillance footage of a masked suspect seemingly tampering with her doorbell camera, shared a description of the intruder and revealed they found DNA evidence at the scene.
While the DNA discovery could potentially lead to an arrest, it was confirmed to contain genetic material from more than one person, meaning it will be difficult to analyze and could take a long time to get results.
