In the search for Nancy Guthrie, the former head of law enforcement for the Colorado Attorney General’s Office and the missing 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, a graduate of the FBI National Academy, said the Porch Man may have been a thug recruited by an overseas cybercrime mastermind. Lisa J Miller told Fox News Digital the kidnapping had the hallmarks of a wrench attack.
A “wrench attack” (also known as a $5 wrench attack or rubber hose cryptanalysis) is a physical attack or kidnapping in which a suspect uses violence or coercion to force a cryptocurrency holder to reveal their private key, password, or mnemonic phrase.

However, Miller also pointed out that Nancy’s case was not a “classic spanner attack.”
“At the beginning of the Nancy Guthrie case, we were all looking at it and we saw some things that didn’t seem appropriate,” she said. “What we saw with Nancy Guthrie was not a typical wrench attack.”
Miller went on to say that the man caught on the surveillance camera, now widely known as the “Porch Man,” displayed the behavior of a street-level agent rather than a sophisticated mastermind.

“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.”
Miller believes the Porch Man’s apparent clumsiness in the footage is consistent with being a hired local thug. She said it appeared someone who was more technically capable masterminded the crime and may have been carried out in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the United States.
