FBI had been planning to incorporate new tech tools into investigations Nancy Guthrie’s Sources told Fox News Digital over the weekend about the disappearance. Experts believe the move could ultimately expose suspect.
While the FBI did not elaborate on the tools, Morgan Wright, CEO and founder of the National Cold Case Center, said he believes the tools may focus on one of three areas.
Expert: Solution to case may be ‘technical’
“I think the solution in this case is going to be something technical, something they come up with — a new way to analyze the data,” he told Fox News Digital. “I’m looking at things like video, video forensics, signal analysis, blockchain.”
According to media reports, video forensics may include technology that enhances public or unknown videos to help identify suspects or their vehicles. Signal analysis might include mobile site or ad tech data analysis, and blockchain might be able to reveal who is behind extortion attempts and whether they are legitimate.

“If I were to break it down into three buckets, I would say it’s going to come out of one of those three buckets,” said Wright, editor and host of the Crime: Reconstruction substack and podcast.
Studying genetic genealogy could provide major breakthroughs, but it’s not exactly new technology, Wright explained. He added that public evidence showed there was only one kidnapper.
“I don’t know what else to indicate about the second person,” he said.
Wright said the suspect tried to cover the camera and then carried the camera with him to cover his vehicle, but not his face. His face was hidden behind a mask.
“The blood was sitting on the edge of the driveway,” Wright said. “So we know there’s a vehicle.”
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos Previously admitting in an interview with People magazine, the Guthries must be “frustrated” by the lack of answers. However, the answer seems certain to come.
“My team, I’ve always said, they’re going to fix this,” he said. “I believe that absolutely 100 percent. … When you have the best minds in the country working on problems, I think they’re going to solve them. It’s just going to take a while.”
