The remarks come after seven months have elapsed since the 84-year-old was reported missing. A former FBI agent has shared his expert insight into whether the Nancy Guthrie case will be solved and if the octogenarian is dead. Notably, authorities have not declared Nancy Guthrie dead and continue to investigate it as a kidnapping case, as far as the public information goes.
Authorities are yet to publicly name a suspect in the case, or announce where Nancy’s possible whereabouts might be. Storey further pointed to the lack of ransom notes from the actual kidnappers, given that the notes the family received were found to be false by the FBI. He noted it was likely Nancy died of a heart attack after she was kidnapped, and then was buried. Hence, there was never really a ransom note sent since the kidnappers would not be able to provide proof of life, and thus decided to walk away from the situation entirely. Notably, these are only theories shared by Storey, the ex-FBI agent, based on his law enforcement experience.
TODAY show host, Savannah Guthrie ‘s mother, was reported missing on February 1 and authorities believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona the night before.
“Any time there’s a kidnapping…we advice them to ask for some proof of life,” the ex-FBI agent continued.

He added that ‘somewhere along the line somebody always talks’. He theorized that if several people were involved in the kidnapping, there might come a time when one of them is arrested for something else.
“I think it will be at some point,” the ex-FBI agent said.
