As Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie, remains missing, three experts offered their detailed profiles of the suspect.
On Wednesday, May 6, The CW aired a special titled NewsNation Presents: The Nancy Guthrie Mystery. Brian Entin, NewsNation's senior national correspondent, spoke with three experts: clinical and forensic psychologist Dr. Gary Brucato; criminologist, behavior analyst, and attorney Dr. Casey Jordan; and criminal profiler Dr. Ann Burgess, the inspiration for the Mindhunter series.

“I’m going to tell you, this guy, I’m just going to say, based on what I know about this kind of prowler burglar who, as Gary points out, probably has some kind of minor league record, but it represents a fraction of all this stuff that he’s actually done," Jordan told Entin.
Additionally, the criminologist predicted that the perpetrator in Nancy's case is roughly 27 or 28, and "definitely lives locally," but "probably not there anymore."
Jordan continued, "I think he was either eliminated by a puppet master or he fled. And I’m not saying he’s Mexican, but it’s the closest border. And that’s where he would go. This is a guy who, on the day this came out, quit his job, left town, broke up with his girlfriend, changed his behavior completely.”

Meanwhile, Burgess shared, “Yeah, the only thing I’d add there is to look for anyone that wasn’t working, that was just doing odd jobs kind of thing.”
Brucato described the suspect as "somebody with some sort of cruel, sadistic, scheming kind of personality." He explained, "You do not develop that kind of personality overnight. You tend to have a long history of being that way. "
The forensic psychologist further explained, "Whereas if it’s true that they tend to be very cool under pressure like this, what makes them very not cool is when there are slights to their ego. I think they need to go around talking to people and say, look, I’m already kind of hotheaded, nasty, grudge-holding, kind of egotistical guy who might have had some run-ins with the law."

Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills residence on the evening of Jan. 31. The Pima County Sheriff's Department launched its search for the 84-year-old on Feb. 1, after her family reported her missing. More than three months later, no suspect has been named in the case, and Savannah has offered a $1 million reward.
