Nancy Guthrie case suffered when authorities 'rushed to judgment' that she had 'wandered off,' source alleges

Nancy Guthrie case suffered when authorities 'rushed to judgment' that she had 'wandered off,' source alleges

The Nancy Guthrie case was bungled from the start, an anonymous source alleges in a new report.

"Speaking with some people, that actually know the intimate knowledge of this investigation, told me that there was a rush to judgment of what was happening at that scene, and it was that Nancy had somehow wandered off," the source said in a NewsNation interview that aired Thursday. "So they rushed to that judgment, stayed with that judgment, and then ran this investigation as if it were a search-and-rescue issue, as opposed to a possible criminal issue."

Law enforcement on the scene were not "tenured homicide detectives" and "didn't have a lot of experience," which happens when people install their friends into positions, the source also alleged, adding that there are no solid suspects.

the media and the public would give as much attention and care to the countless missing women of color, including indigenous women, as they do to this case. But nobody gives a shit, least of all law enforcement at any level.
