Summary

Nancy Guthrie remains missing as the search enters day 24, and a new statement from Savannah Guthrie is raising serious questions about what may have happened inside the Catalina Foothills home the night her mother disappeared. Meanwhile, investigators are dealing with new complications involving the unknown male DNA recovered from inside the home, reports that the sample may be partial and not eligible for CODIS, and continued questions about surveillance footage, forced entry, and what evidence police actually have. In this episode of Drop Dead Serious, Ashleigh Banfield is joined by former FBI Special Agent and former hostage negotiator Chip Massey, founder of The Convincing Company, to break down Savannah’s statement, the one million dollar reward, the latest reporting about the DNA evidence, and what investigators may be focusing on next in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
