A renowned criminal psychologist who helped convince O.J. Simpson to surrender to authorities said he believes Nancy Guthrie\u2019s disappearance was likely a burglary gone wrong.<\/p>\n
\u201cUnfortunately, I think this case is a simple matter of a burglary gone wrong and then attempts to cover things up,\u201d forensic psychologist Dr. Kris Mohandie told Fox Digital.<\/p>\n

The expert said that the creepy doorbell camera footage<\/a> that shows a masked man at the 84-year-old\u2019s front door on the night of the abduction suggests that the mother of \u201cToday\u201d show host Savannah Guthrie was the victim of burglary in her home rather than a sophisticated kidnapping plot.\u00a0<\/p>\n Mohandie said that it\u2019s \u201cappropriate\u201d for law enforcement to investigate any leads into finding out the fate of the matriarch\u2019s disappearance.<\/p>\n However, he said it\u2019s still doubtful that the two ransom letters sent to the family \u2013 which were recently released by the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office in full \u2013 are in any way related to those who took her from her home<\/a> back in February.\u00a0<\/p>\n FBI Director Kash Patel released a surveillance image of a suspect wanted in connection with the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie from her Tucson, Ariz., home on Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2026.
