Has it been confirmed that the blood drip is from her?

good question, and if not hers, could her abductor have been hurt when forcing entry?

If you're doubting the "not a suspect" part, why not doubt the "last to see her" part as well? All reputable MSM has reported the sister, Annie, as the last to see Nancy.

IMHO, if the son in law was also the last to see her, it meant he was WITH Annie when they dropped her off. But I'll keep that as an IMHO until I see it on a more reputable source.

Well people are saying that the dinner was at the daughter’s house so it makes sense that her husband /partner would drive the mother home.

It would be a strange thing for a publication such as that to post about the daughter’s husband. I think MSM holds back a lot. I trust very little from them. Well, the 1:30 press conference may give more info.

well, I guess that answers my last question. DNA would be expected to be all over her home so I have to assume the DNA came from the small amount of blood located at the scene

Okay so something just popped into my mind when reading the comments about the security system and possibly it being turned off/disabled before whatever happened took place.

BTK popped into my mind. He worked for ADT I think it was.

I certainly hope this is not going to end up as someone just wanting to kill people like BTK and used something like working for an alarm compnay to gain access to homes.

If they don't think it's abduction for ransom and they don't think it's robbery gone wrong, then that is narrowing down things to some not so good options.

IMO For adults who are not where they are supposed or expected to be. A short delay before calling 911 is not unusual or inherently suspicious. We know now that something was very wrong and that every minute matters in an abduction, but the family didn’t have that information at the time. In many cases, family or friends first check the home, nearby areas, and routine locations before calling LE. Evidence that LE discovered in or around the home can easily be overlooked by loved ones who aren’t viewing the scene through LE lens. People also hesitate because they don’t want to overreact, embarrass the person if they turn up, or feel like they’re wasting ER resources. The delay in this case doesn’t strike me as suspicious. I actually have a tremendous amount of sympathy for families of missing people when this happens. No one beats them up more than themselves. IMO

Could be the three of them walked her into her home and Annie was the last one to give her a hug, then they left. I don’t have any reason to believe the SIL is a suspect.

Do we know what Nancy Guthrie did for a living before she (presumably) retired?

On her facebook she mentions working at a newspaper during the time JFK was assassinated.

If there is a grudge, 'longstanding' then perhaps it is from her own working life rather than her daughter's?

Hey Everyone.
Remember, we do not blame the victim. We don't know what Savannah paid for or what Nancy would allow. Please let's stick to the topic.
You all are doing amazing work. You'd be surprised at who is reading here. Keep it up.

It was stated by a poster that she owned the home for 50 years. That was helpful in knowing it was not purchased for her by her daughter,

If NG was on blood thinners and attacked in bed, it’s very possible that she bled more then expected which startled a garden variety sexual deviant into thinking he killed her.

However, if the scene was a bloody mess, you would think that whatever child came to check on NG would see that and call the police immediately.

My gut feeling says this is similar to the Reiner’s, where a very close family member was set off for whatever reason and went after the matriarch. It seems like the police have a pretty good idea about what happened but they need to work backwards to close the case.

My gut feeling says the same thing. To me it feels very strongly it is a family member or close friend. Jmo

Could be the three of them walked her into her home and Annie was the last one to give her a hug, then they left. I don’t have any reason to believe the SIL is a suspect.

I think that's an entirely reasonable conclusion. See the quote below:

Nancy Guthrie believed abducted from home near Tucson

Key questions surrounding abduction of Savannah Guthrie's mother as 'Today' host asks for prayers

Law enforcement believes Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her bed in Arizona, but they’ve been tight-lipped about what details led them to that conclusion about the 84-year-old mother of “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie.

www.wgal.com

"Nancy Guthrie was last seen Saturday when her family took her home from dinner around 9:30 or 9:45 p.m., (Sheriff) Nanos told CNN. They got her in the house, and she went to bed, he said."

(Bold emphasis mine)

I think if the SIL drove to check on her at 2am, and she disappeared at 2am, this forum wouldn't be discussing her disappearance, it would be discussing his arrest.

I have my doubts about what this report means as well.

This is NOT what that article says.
AND that article is from an entertainment blog NOT MSM.
They have already identified a "husband" when all other accounts say "a partner"

We should be very careful speculating from this "showbiz411" piece.

moo, of course... but I do see these mis-statements stirring up the wrong speculations!

So the part about the son in law later checking up on her is wrong?

Blood found inside home of Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy Guthrie, source says

Investigators are combing through the house of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's mother, Nancy, in search of clues to the 84-year-old's disappearance.

www.cbsnews.com

Per the article, "Nancy Guthrie's family has asked residents near her home to review their security footage from over the weekend, especially between the hours of 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. on Sunday..."

I wonder why they are only asking up to 4am when the family discovered her missing closer to noon?

 

[Bounceycat]

So the part about the son in law later checking up on her is wrong?

I've never seen it says he LATER checked in on her. And this gossip rag is the ONLY media source saying anything about him specifically.

 

[Sadi]

My gut feeling says the same thing. To me it feels very strongly it is a family member or close friend. Jmo

I hope this isn’t the case, it’s just too sad to think about.

 

[muddlehead]

Maybe, MOO, a money / family thing / whatever argument rose up
at dinner between Nancy's daughter and partner and Nancy
and it triggered the kidnapping

And is it possible the last 2 to see Nancy the night before
are the 2 who called in her disappearance at noon the next day?

Just MOO

 

[CHEL]

Maybe we should just wait for the press conference later today. I am sure there will be more clarification then.
