Fox News host Greg Gutfeld argued this week that nothing “makes sense” in the strange case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and said her family, including her daughter Savannah Guthrie, should take polygraph tests.
“Have they given everyone polygraphs? I don’t believe they have. I think Savannah Guthrie might wanna volunteer to do a poly and say, ‘I just don’t want people to speculate that I might be involved,’” the “GUTFELD!” host said during Monday’s show.
He said that the supposed ransom notes that were sent to news outlets and asked for bitcoin to get the 84-year-old back are not real.
“I do think the ransom piece is a ruse because the start and the finish of it don’t make any sense. If you really wanna get the money, you don’t go to TMZ. You don’t go to Harvey Levin. You go to the wealthy family who does it behind the scenes, and you [the public] may never hear about it,” Gutfeld said.
“Also the ending, where do you pay, how do you pay, once you make this whole process voluntary, doesn’t make sense. So I think all this is a red herring,” Gutfeld said.
The Fox News host said that if Savannah Guthrie, host of “Today,” took a voluntary lie detector test, which can’t be used in court without an agreement, it would help rule out her family’s involvement because they would all feel like they had to take a polygraph test too.
“It puts everyone else in her circle obligated to do a poly. They might have declined to do it before, but if you actually say, ‘I’m willing to do it,’ and everybody else decides to do it, great,” Gutfeld said, as the search for Nancy enters its 10th day.
“So if you decline after the daughter publicly says she’s gonna do one, that looks different to me,” he added.
Gutfeld also called for a re-examination of the finances of Nancy’s relatives.
“I don’t mean the ransom, I mean who needed money, and who didn’t get money,” he said, as Monday’s 7 p.m. Eastern deadline to pay an alleged $6 million in bitcoin for Nancy’s return passed.
Nancy was thought to be missing after she didn’t show up to a friend’s house on February 1 to watch a live church service. Her son-in-law dropped her off after dinner the night before at about 9:45, which is the last time anyone saw her.
On the day she was reported missing, Nancy Guthrie was supposed to go to a friend’s house to watch church.
Arizona police say they still haven’t found any suspects in the strange disappearance.
Reports say that some of Nancy’s hired help, like a landscaper and a pool cleaner, are giving DNA samples.
“It’s significant because it reveals that they did get some DNA from inside the home or from the collection of evidence at the scene,” Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas police lieutenant and founder of the Wounded Blue, told Fox News Digital.
“So now they’re going to be comparing that DNA to either eliminate individuals or obtain information about them,” he added.
“Also the ending, where do you pay, how do you pay, once you make this whole process voluntary, doesn’t make sense. So I think all this is a red herring,” Gutfeld said.
