A former New York Police Department hostage negotiator has come forward with a chilling theory about what may have happened to Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, and it paints a disturbing picture.

Wallace Zeins, who spent years negotiating high-stakes abductions for the NYPD, believes that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was likely taken by more than one person from her Tucson, Arizona home late Sunday night.
Speaking in an interview on Tuesday, February 3, Zeins said Nancy’s physical condition alone makes a solo abduction highly unlikely.

“She is 150 pounds, 5 feet 5, waking up in the middle of the night, not in the best health, cannot walk or run, so I would think there is more than one person involved in this particular crime,” Zeins told CNN.

What investigators know so far
Nancy was last seen Saturday evening, January 31, when she had dinner with Savannah’s sister, Annie. Annie dropped her off at home around 9:30 p.m.
