Just this week, Savannah Guthrie cried on The show today cover-up of her mother’s kidnapping.
Though anonymous tips for unmarked graves seem to be dead ends, hope may be on the horizon.
Authorities may be looking at the unidentified figure haunting Nancy’s porch camera footage.
Donald Trump also weighs in, expressing what looks like sympathy for the Guthrie family.
Does ‘Porch Guy’ have a name?
Former FBI agent Maureen O’Connell spoke to Megyn Kelly about her eponymous web show about where she thinks the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance stands.
In her estimation, she is “75 percent” confident that authorities are “getting close” to the one person we know was involved in the kidnapping.
This person is, as she puts it, “porch man.”
Hopefully, she says, once he is in custody, it will be like the first stone in an avalanche.
O’Connell predicts that “the floodgates will open” and authorities will learn about alleged co-conspirators and the location of Nancy’s remains.
“Things happen,” O’Connell added cryptically without evidence, more than five months after the kidnapping.
The Porch Guy is referring to the creepy footage from Nancy’s home security, released by the FBI, showing an unidentified person.
The mark and the armed intruder appeared to be fiddling with the doorbell camera.
Savannah has spoken about how harrowing the brief footage was for her to go through as she imagined what her mother must have woken up to in the middle of the night.
While it is possible that a kidnapper worked alone to abduct an 84-year-old grandmother, there is speculation by some investigators that this was the work of a team drug addicts or even organized crime.
‘I hope they find her’
On Tuesday, June 23, Donald Trump took a brief break from spouting unhinged theories about algae sabotage to address Nancy’s disappearance.
“I hope they find her,” he muttered clip.
“I mean, Savannah’s been through a rough patch,” Trump began, before continuing, “That family’s been through hell.”
He repeated, “I hope they find her.”
Trump is very TV oriented. It is likely that he saw extensive coverage of Nancy’s kidnapping by watching the news.
Now, unfortunately, may be the most convenient time in decades for kidnappers to potentially get away with their crimes.
Kash Patel is the head of the FBI, although he is accused of largely misusing official travel to entertain himself and his girlfriend.
Huge amounts of government resources have been diverted from normal tasks of protecting America to either terrorizing American communities through ICE or launching attacks against Trump’s enemies and critics.
O’Connell certainly knows how the FBI normally operates. But she may be basing her experiences on her own time in the Bureau and not on how things work in 2026.
Savannah and her family deserve closure. Nancy deserves to be laid to rest. It’s just hard to believe that hope is realistic at this point.
