According to Parade, which has acquired preview clips from the program, the profilers are inquired if the armed man seen on Guthrie’s front stoop acted independently. The specialists propose that it is plausible there was more than one individual engaged in the abduction and that there may have been a "boss" figure, coordinating the crime from behind the scenes.

“I just had a thought. That person [on Nancy’s stoop] may have been eliminated,” Dr. Burgess said.

On Friday, May 1, it was three months since Nancy was reported missing from her residence in the Catalina Foothills, located north of Tucson, Arizona. The investigation is being led by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with support from the FBI, and there have been no significant updates made public regarding Nancy’s disappearance since that time.

She was reported missing around noon the following day after failing to arrive at a friend's home to participate in an online church service. A total reward of $1.2 million for Nancy's safe return has been established by both the Guthrie family and law enforcement agencies.

On February 10, the FBI made public footage that they said showed a masked and armed individual captured by her doorbell camera on the morning of her disappearance.
