Coffendaver explained that Reynolds was fired for “attempting to use his position to force a female arrestee to have sex with him.”
She then drew comparisons to Guthrie’s case to show why Reynolds was not a suitable suspect. She noted that the modus operandi or manner in which Reynolds committed his crimes was different from the manner in which Guthrie’s kidnappers committed their crimes. “Whoever kidnapped Nancy Guthrie was wrong,” she commented.
The former FBI agent also noted that footage of the suspect showed the wrong size of the person, as well as the wrong gun and holster for the officer.
Coffendaver added, “The choice of woman was wrong – Nancy is not a MILF. She is a loving grandmother, not a sexy 40-year-old soccer mom type.”
The former FBI agent expressed interest in Reynolds for different reasons, explaining: “I would rather know if he assaulted any other women he arrested. He is a sexual deviant who preys on those over whom he has power in his capacity as an officer. He wants easy prey.”
“I do not believe this 22-year-old is a porch man,” she concluded in her assessment.
