Nancy Guthrie Motive bombshell: Experts reveal chilling ‘wrench attack’ cyber-kidnapping twist

Miller said a “wrench attack” is when cybercriminals use violence or kidnapping rather than hacking to force victims to hand over passwords or money.

Miller believes Nancy Guthrie’s case has some of these characteristics but is different. “At the beginning of the Nancy Guthrie case, we were all looking at it and we saw some things that didn’t seem appropriate,” Miller told Fox News Digital. “What we saw with Nancy Guthrie was not a typical wrench attack.”

She pointed to the man captured by the Nest doorbell camera on Nancy’s front steps, both on the day of the kidnapping and three weeks earlier, as key evidence. “The street thug theory fits with what we saw in the Guthrie case because when the FBI released the photo of this porch guy, I called him the ‘porch monster’ from the beginning, I mean, this guy came across as kind of goofy,” Miller said. “Look at his attire, look at how he was carrying the gun…However, there are some very complex elements in this case that again fit what we see in traditional wrench attacks.”

According to Fox News, the typical plotters behind such attacks are young, tech-savvy and operate overseas, likely from countries with which the United States does not have extradition treaties. “They know where to go,” Miller told Fox News. “They know how to hide their digital tracks and where to operate from.”

Miller also said she believed at least some of the early ransom demands were genuine. “I have not thought for one minute, and I have said it before from the early stages, that the FBI would put Savannah Guthrie [and] Her family would have been traumatized by the recording of these videos if they did not believe there was something real behind them,” she said.

One man, Derrick Callella, 42 californiaAccording to Fox News, a was arrested for using the crime to send false ransom demands.
