Fox News host Greg Gutfeld asserted that the mysterious disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie “doesn’t make sense,” and urged the entire family, including her daughter, “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, to take polygraph tests. Gutfeld argued that if Savannah voluntarily submits to a test, it would ethically obligate other relatives and close associates to also participate, helping to eliminate speculation about the family’s involvement. He also strongly criticized the alleged ransom notes—which demanded $6 million in Bitcoin and were sent to news outlets—labeling them a “ruse” and a “red herring,” suggesting real perpetrators would contact the wealthy family directly and discreetly.
Beyond the polygraph demands, Gutfeld called for a rigorous re-examination of Nancy Guthrie’s relatives’ finances to determine who may have been in need of money. The search for Nancy continues, following her last sighting on February 1. While Arizona police have yet to name any suspects, reports indicate that the investigation is actively gathering DNA samples from hired help, such as landscapers and pool cleaners, allowing them to compare this evidence against materials collected from the scene to potentially eliminate or identify individuals.
