Nancy Guthrie suspect ‘obsessed’ with Savannah; real motive behind kidnapping revealed

Investigators initially said there was no video available because Guthrie did not subscribe to a doorbell camera. But digital forensics experts have struggled to find images in back-end software that may have been lost, corrupted or inaccessible. But then a shot came along. The FBI shared a video showing at least one masked man at Nancy’s doorstep the night she was allegedly kidnapped.

We don’t yet have a name or full face of the suspect.

“It could also just be his own delusion and he may have developed anger and resentment towards her,” he said. “Therefore, he felt justified in taking his mother to harm her.”

The reporter immediately asked Clement if he thought the man had “some kind of crush on Savannah and she probably watches her on TV every morning?”

He replied: “I think that’s the highest possibility. If someone ends up recognizing someone who’s always talking about her, we might be able to catch him.”

“To think that I brought this to her bedside, it was because of me. I just said, ‘I’m sorry, Mom. I’m so sorry.'”

Guthrie spoke of the shock she felt on Feb. 1.

“My sister called me. I said, ‘Is everything okay?’ She said, ‘No. “She said, ‘Mom’s missing,'” Savannah Guthrie said. “I said, ‘What? What are you talking about?’ And she said, ‘She’s gone. “She was panicking. I was panicking.'”

“We are in pain,” she told NBC News colleague Hoda Kotb. “We are feeling the love and prayers from our neighbors, the Tucson community and across the country,” Guthrie wrote in an earlier social media post, ending the sentence with a heart emoji. “Please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. Bring her home.”
