A private investigator has suggested that Nancy Guthrie's potential abduction could have been a crime committed as a result of a snap decision by an amateur.
Lisa Ribacoff-Mooney, a polygraph expert and the owner of Interpoint Investigative Services, told RadarOnline.com that there was a 'chance' that the 84-year-old was targeted because of her daughter Savannah Guthrie's fame and 'financial status.'
However, Nancy's home might have also been chosen for a different offense entirely, she added.
'I think that this was a burglary gone wrong that resulted in a kidnapping,' Ribacoff-Mooney said.
Ribacoff-Mooney added that Nancy may have panicked during a robbery and 'said who she is and who her daughter is to use that as a motive for the perpetrators to leave the residence.'
That is when the suspect may have decided to kidnap Nancy for ransom, she explained.
Nancy was last seen just before 10 pm on January 31 after having dinner with her daughter Annie, and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.
