In form of Nancy Guthrie The case continues, with a former FBI agent pushing the theory that the back door reveals how he was let out of the house. On NewsNation, ex-FBI special agent Raymond Carr told anchor Elizabeth Vargas that he did not at all believe that the back door served as an escape route – instead, he suggested that it may have been used to get more people into the house while the focus was on the front.
FBI expert believes back door of Nancy Guthrie’s home was entry point, not exit
Discussing the Nancy Guthrie case with Elizabeth Vargas, former FBI agent Raymond Carr said, “I don’t think the back door was an exit, I think it was an entry.” He added, “I think that’s how additional people may have been allowed into the house.”
Carr said investigators had a strong reason to focus on the front entrance, saying, “I agree with the SWAT commander that they had to go through the front of the house because of the blood found on the stairs and the porch,” he said, adding, “There is no doubt in my mind that she went through the front.”
Notably, his theory matches what Savannah Guthrie has shared publicly about her mother’s disappearance. In my interview with TodaySavannah said her family initially wondered if the paramedics had come at night “because the back door was open.” However, she said details were not included.
Savannah also emphasized how unlikely it seemed that her mother would have walked on her own, saying, “My mom, she was in a lot of pain,” adding, “On a good day, she could go to the mailbox and get the mail, but not most days. So there was no need to wander.”
Carr told NewsNation that the physical reality of the scene supports the idea that more than one person played a role in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. When Vargas noted how difficult it would be to transport the 84-year-old woman through the rough terrain, Carr responded that it would be “absolutely” too much for one person alone.
