Fox News host Greg Gutfeld made headlines this week with a controversial suggestion regarding the ongoing case of Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie. During a segment on “The Five,” Gutfeld proposed that Savannah should take a polygraph test to encourage other family members and associates to do the same, thereby potentially advancing the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance.
Gutfeld shared his approach with legal expert Paul Mauro, emphasizing that while Savannah may be seen as an unlikely suspect, offering to take a lie detector test could pressure others within her circle to follow suit. He argued that since no one has been officially ruled out in the case, the move could help clarify the situation. Mauro acknowledged Gutfeld’s idea but noted that, as of now, no polygraphs have been administered in connection with the investigation, despite the public’s interest in the case.
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since January 31, after having dinner with her daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni. Recent developments in the case include unsettling images of an armed masked individual outside her home in Tucson, along with the discovery of a potential clue, a glove located about 1.5 miles from her residence. Authorities are still searching for suspects, and the investigation remains ongoing, with a ransom deadline having recently passed without resolution.
Gutfeld’s earlier remarks also highlighted the need for thoroughness in the investigative process, questioning whether polygraph tests had been administered to others connected to the case. He urged Savannah to take a stand, indicating that her willingness to undergo such a test might alleviate any speculation about her involvement and could encourage others to cooperate as well.
In a profoundly challenging situation, the hope is that the efforts of law enforcement, families, and the media will help lead to answers in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and bring her home safely. As the investigation continues, the question remains whether Gutfeld’s unconventional strategy will gain traction or if authorities have a different approach in mind.
