Nancy Guthrie Deserved Better Than This

She's been missing since February. An 84-year-old woman taken from her home in the middle of the night. Blood left behind. No answers. No arrest. And now we're learning the people responsible for those first critical hours of the investigation may not have been equipped to handle what they walked into.

Sources have confirmed that the sergeant running the initial response to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, had reportedly never worked a homicide. Experienced detectives had allegedly been reassigned before she ever went missing. The department's search and rescue plane was reportedly grounded because its pilot was moved to patrol. This is the system that was supposed to bring Nancy home — and it may have been compromised before anyone picked up the phone.

Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer joins Hidden Killers to examine what those failures mean — what gets lost when the people handling the most important hours of an abduction investigation aren't qualified to be there, and whether a task force can recover what may have been forfeited from the start.

Nancy Guthrie's family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery. They are still waiting. They are still hoping. And they deserve answers about why the response to their mother's disappearance looked the way it did.

Anyone with information is urged to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or 520-351-4900.
