Detectives in Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance Are ‘Stuck’ on a Motive

Investigators weigh burglary theory after surveillance and DNA evidence emerge amid 40,000 to 50,000 tips, while authorities and media differ on motive and abduction intent.

  • Investigators are now weighing that Nancy Guthrie's disappearance may have resulted from a botched burglary, not an intended kidnapping, after she was last seen on January 31 at her Tucson-area home.
  • CBS 5 crime correspondent Briana Whitney reported an inside source saying evidence and surveillance led investigators to suspect a burglary gone wrong.
  • Surveillance images show a masked person tampering with Guthrie's door camera last week, and investigators recovered a glove that appears to match; DNA from an SUV stopped Friday is being tested and its profile processed.
  • The family issued an emotional plea, and authorities report between 40,000 and 50,000 tips as the case remains active.
  • Law enforcement continues processing DNA from the towed vehicle, the FBI said it has "no clue where that came from," and investigators say the motive remains unclear.
