Nancy Guthrie case. What went wrong? Tonight, we're just asking what happened to Nancy

Guthrie. We're asking tougher questions. Did the investigation fail from the very beginning?

Good question, right?

From a questionable initial response to crime scene issues to a reported rift between the sheriff and the FBI, we're breaking down step by step what may have gone wrong.

The initial response missed the moment.

Let's start where every case is won or loss, the first 24 hours.

Nancy Guthrie, 884 years old, vanishes from her home.

Right away, this should have been treated as a high-risk abduction, a vulnerable victim,

a time-sensitive, life-or-death investigation, and yet reports and criticism point to serious concerns

about the early handling, including questions about

how quickly the home was secured, whether the scene was treated immediately as a homicide-level

crime scene, and whether command decisions match the urgency of the situation.

So we're going to get into that.

I'm a retired NYPD sergeant, and on police off the cuff, we analyze cases the way cops and prosecutors do what matters and what doesn't and what the internet gets wrong.
