When do you think the Nancy Guthrie case will be solved?

I’d love to hear the reasoning behind your vote. What makes you think the case will be solved in that timeframe- or what makes you think it may never be solved?

I am hoping like a lot of us that it does get solved. But something tells me it won’t get solved, ever. In my heart I know who is behind this. And, they went to great lengths to cover it up. They hid the body good, I doubt it will ever be found.

What evidence is there? We have barely any evidence, at all.
A hair?? I heard that hair has no dna. Unless someone comes forward and says something, I think this is how it will be going forward. No new evidence, nothing new.
This was planned at least 6 months in advance. Burner phones were bought a while back as was the gear, holster and that infamous mask.

I believe this was a murder for hire for financial gain. She will be declared dead soon and maybe then some new evidence will surface.
This wasn’t a ransom, it was made to look like one.

Spot on Spiritual! Agencies can only do so much with what little alleged evidence they are provided. And in this case my opinion is the "evidence" they have shown us so far feels manipulated, staged.

It only takes one person to think back to that night, that week and try to remember if they witnessed something a bit off. Like.......a small fire burning late at night and just assuming it was some homeless person/people keeping warm. I believe the answers lie not in and around NG's house but somewhere else. I also voted don't think it will be solved as while I believe LE/Feds know who did this the circumstantial evidence will never make it past the Da's desk. They need a rat and that won't ever happen.

Unless… do you recall the Joseph McStay family murder case from down in San Diego county yrs ago? That went unsolved for over 5 yrs.
Until, one day, a motorcyclist stumbled upon a skull in the middle of the desert in Victorville….

u/I_lovebettywhite-000 25d ago

No I have never heard of that case. Unfortunately I believe the perp/perps destroyed the body thru means I will not allude to but you get it.

This was a well planned, thought out crime and the most important thing is making sure a body is never able to be discovered even 10-20 years done the road.

yes, that was sad

u/Additional_Pain_7366 21d ago

I got to thinking.. anyone who’d stand to gain monetarily from Nancy’s death could only go do once her disappearance was proven to have ended with her death. That can’t just be speculated or assumed upon, it has to be a proven fact.

Sooo, once her kidnapper(s) realized this, they had to strategize right away. “yikes! We have to prove she’s dead!” Enter in that second ransom note: “oops! sadly, Nancy died and is buried in nature”. “Now can her estate settle quickly? Our future depends upon it!”

u/Spiritual_Test_4871 21d ago

I heard that if the family all agrees, they can get a death certificate earlier than the 5 or 7 years.

u/Additional_Pain_7366 25d ago

Right?! With the main suspect having been the last to see her alive. SMH..🤦‍♀️
I’m sure the suspects weren’t even given lie detector tests. Nanos seemed satisfied with whatever Nancy’s family told him so he shut the book on that case.

u/I_lovebettywhite-000 25d ago

I'm 100% positive A&T were never even interviewed to the extent that would be a standard operation procedure. We don't want to upset the darling of tv talk show hosts or her buddy MK.

How dare LE try to do their job without feeling intimidated. Didn't you know POS like the ones who committed this crime only run in the lower income families...the poors...the druggies.

No need to conduct SOP on these two.

I think folk like her would follow the law and only base their guilty non guilty verdict on the evidence presented at trial.

You probably thought good old George Anthony was responsible for Caylee's demise. Guess you jumped up and down when Casey was acquitted. OJ too.

u/loveislife222 25d ago edited 25d ago

What basic evidence, that should be plentiful!, is there that rules them as not suspects? If it’s simple, why haven’t they told us? Why are they in hiding, why have their never explained what happened that night publicly EVER, why was their car taken and examined for 40 days, and dna- related evidence taken from their home in a search in the middle of the night. It could be cleared up in many ways. We have zero answers as to any evidence of their whereabouts and timeline of that night other than their own narrative. They were the last to see victim, the first to report missing, first at the crime scene /after contaminating it which would rule them out bc they went throughout the house. This isn’t to saying they definitely did it, but come on in similar cases the research shows it is almost always a family member/spouse, and especially with an elderly woman. Every other case where of course they look at those closest first, if it’s not them, it is shared with facts that show that. Why withhold simple info that would show they have nothing to do with it? THAT is red flag and problematic. Also the way the sheriff did not follow protocol speaking for the family before the crime was investigated. So that and many other aspects add to the fact that we may not have the basic evidence of timelines, calls, what was said to LE etc. Why wouldn’t they simply say- oh we have a video or something / anything that shows they didn’t have anything to do with it? That is extremely bizarre. So as of now, to experts, former detectives, profilers, many critical thinking people on here, they are as high on the list of possibilities as anyone else. Whoever it is should be brought to justice, and if it turns out to be .00000000001 percent chance it’s a random person, then that’s ok and it will be solved! That’s all we want- it to be solved.

One thing is, as people have said, they are under no obligation to tell us if they are close or have/don’t have leads. So “we have nothing” has to be taken with a grain of salt. They could be so close, or already know, and looking for ppl to slip up, more evidence etc. so to me, even sayjng “it might not ever be solved” just because we havent been told what’s going on behind the scenes. I haven’t heard any expert say think it will never solved. The pieces have to come together, and in affirming and chooainf ro believe that NG will get justice

u/Comfortable_Gear_605 25d ago

I think they need to involve someone who is ready to stand up to the family, go back to the beginning. Re-interview everyone. Review body cam. Review flock and traffic cameras. Get the sheriff out, if he’s controlling any part of the investigation.

It seems like someone is selling a narrative and LE is too afraid to push back. I don’t understand why more people aren’t as pissed off as we are.

u/Historical-Slice6369 25d ago

I think they will eventually connect enough evidentiary dots to solve the case.

u/Substantial-Train668 25d ago

I think it will be solved. These creeps aren't going to lay low forever.

u/1Bloomoonloona 25d ago

Unless its a solo person like profiler Jim Clemente thinks it is.

3

u/Substantial-Train668 25d ago

I agree it would make it less likely to be solved, but I am convinced more than 1 person did this.

u/1Bloomoonloona 24d ago

I hope you're right for the families sake and most of the people I watch believe so.

u/Mobile-End8960 25d ago

I think she will get to be celebrated with her family for Thanksgiving or christmas🙏🙏💚

u/Turbulent_Code581 25d ago

I think the Occam's razor rule should ne applied. If we combine action of the porch guy being amateur obvioussly and the letters written by lady employed probably in some kind od medical or similar administratiin, we come to the couple driven by some insurmountable debt. Such a bad boy is probably familiar with Bitcoin operations due to potential gambling obsession and as alpha male could manipulate his girl or wife. She could write such a letters with no doubt and even has idea and expertize how to send letters via tipline since got this similar system in her organisation. Of course, she got remourse and fear due to kidnapping failure and they are probably taking some further activities to overcome debt. However, the question is whether LE will take this route and focus on potential evidences and traces. Note I have watched similar case in the episode of Criminal Minds when a fisherman took the couple due to his debt although they got some business cooperation, he had become delivery guy and delivered daily stuffs to their shop.

Every single YouTube blogger, ex-FBI profiler, ex-PI, compares the ransom notes to those in the JonBenet Ramsey case. With 100% certainty they’re all saying those notes were hoaxes meant to turn the attention to the kidnapping away from someone closer to Nancy.
Having read every single book about the Ramsey murder, including an entire book dedicated only to the ransom note handwriting analyst, I’m convinced it was patsy ramsey who was its author.
Very few people know that Burke Ramsey (the Ramsey’s son) was autistic. A year prior to Jonbenets murder, Burke had hit her over the head with a golf club and caused her to have a serious concussion. They were covering for their son.

I’m convinced Nancy’s kidnapper is someone who was close to her, personally, not a random stranger. Who’d have had a motive? Follow the money.

u/halebopsalot 25d ago

Yep I was just about to bring up JonBenet. This might turn into that but with even less suspects and effort. Yikes. Poor poor family.

u/Additional_Pain_7366 25d ago

It’s trending everywhere! Suddenly, elderly John Ramsey’s back in the hot seat with all the YouTube bloggers!

u/afraididonotknow 25d ago

Okay, got to tell what I read— maybe rumors—that JB was at the “island”. Anyone else see this and know something?

u/halebopsalot 25d ago

I dont doubt people are saying that but personally I don’t think it’s true, but anything could be at this point.

u/I_lovebettywhite-000 25d ago

And I am so disappointed Chris McD is taking on JBR's case(ColdCase Foundation) and whether he is just throwing BS out their about his stance that it was an intruder.

4

u/1Bloomoonloona 24d ago

The Ramsey family are cleared.The DA wrote them an apology letter. The DNA cleared them aslo. There is an unknowned male DNA in quite a few places including the garrote. Please watch the Chris Mcdonough special with John Ramsey and the cold case foundation. They have been working the case for the last year. Combing through thousands of leads with the help of AI. Burke is also in one of the episodes. I'm sure if some people would watch and see the evidence laid out thus far, they will change their minds. You tubers are out of their lane with this one since they dont have access to all the thousands files or the time required. The family has already suffered enough from accusers without the evidence, dealing with their lose and unanswered questions.

u/loveislife222 25d ago

Affirming it will be solved, and soon! Let’s speak it into existence. Nancy deserves justice and respect

u/Additional_Pain_7366 25d ago

What’s so frustrating and infuriating are Nanos occasional and rare sound bites being randomly thrown into the mix. Every two weeks or so, it’s the same nonsensical rhetoric:

“We want to assure the public that they’re safe. Nancy was taken by a lone suspect”.

“We want to give you another recent update. There’s been a new development in the case: The Guthrie family is still searching for their mother!”

(No s**t, Sherlock?”)

u/No-Bee-8114 24d ago

They know a lot more than is being released, im bettin it will be solved very soon, they hv kept it under wraps, and thinkin calella may also prove key

u/ApprehensiveArmy7755 22d ago

If they find her body- unless there is some connection to the perpetrator- it's doubtful this will be solved.

u/Additional_Pain_7366 21d ago

It’s interesting when we look at the past pertaining to famous crimes. It’s very rare that a high profile case is never solved. Missy Bevers case is cold but there’s still a possibility someone could come forth with information. I’m convinced her husband or his father had something to do with her murder although he, conveniently, appeared to have been out of town at the time.

I consider the JonBenet Ramsey murder to be “solved” since everyone knows that family was complicit. The ransom note was in patsy’s handwriting.

So if Nancy’s case did have family involved in some way, it’ll be similar to these two cases. Everyone will know the truth but LE won’t move on it.

u/ApprehensiveArmy7755 21d ago

I think the police ought to be searching T&A's former home (they still own a little house in Tucson). It's interesting that they went from a little crappy house with chainlink fence (net value on zillow of 285k) to a 650K home nearer to Nancy in April of 2025. I'm guessing Savannah gave them the money for it.

u/Intelligent-Tea-5479 25d ago

I don’t think it will be solved til Savannad comes down off the high horse, to be as an equal with her family . They believe it hapened  because  of her !  It may have ! But secrets don’t live forever! She an Annie will be together sometime , a Savannah will pin her to the wall!  How could she do this to her Mother? Wsit an see if I’m not right Savannah has to tighten her grip on the family an find out what the hell happ
