FBI Weighs 3 New Tech Tools in Nancy Guthrie Case as $1.2 Million Reward Goes Unclaimed
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jun 2
$1.2 million in reward money still has not produced a break in the four-month Nancy Guthrie disappearance case, as the FBI discusses adding new technology to identify the suspect.
Morgan Wright, a forensic-technology expert, said the likely tools fall into three areas: video forensics to sharpen footage, signal analysis of cell-site or ad-tech data, and blockchain tracing tied to ransom or extortion messages.
Wright said the public evidence points to a lone kidnapper, noting only one person appears on video and the blood trail ends at the driveway, suggesting a vehicle was used.
The investigation has already used a helicopter-borne Bluetooth scan to detect Guthrie's pacemaker and recovered Nest doorbell footage with Google's help despite the missing camera and no cloud subscription.
