Summary
On Day 58 of the search for Nancy Guthrie, a chilling new detail is raising even more questions about what happened inside her home. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield breaks down the biggest developments in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, who vanished from her Tucson-area home under deeply suspicious circumstances. New details focus on the back patio entry into the kitchen, where two doors were allegedly propped open with flower pots, while the back gate was reportedly propped open the same way.
Ashleigh is joined by Bob Krygier, retired lieutenant and former SWAT commander with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, to break down what those details could mean about how the perp got in, whether the setup suggests planning, the possibility of more than one person being involved, and the biggest questions still hanging over this case.

| 1:51.1 | And the back doors were propped open. |
| 1:55.3 | That's how Savannah worded it. |
| 1:57.2 | And it seemed like maybe it was a misstatement. |
| 2:00.1 | Nope. |
| 2:00.5 | She said it two different times in the interview. |
| 2:03.4 | Back doors propped open. Well, this sounded very different than the source that I had, |
| 2:10.3 | back door wide open on day three. I've had two subsequent law enforcement sources since that |
| 2:16.4 | have confirmed back door wide open. |
