What To Know
- Retired FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer shared a 10-step plan to advance the Nancy Guthrie abduction case.
- Key recommendations include updating and expanding billboards and posters with enhanced images of the masked “Porch Guy.”
- Coffindaffer also advised using blockchain tracing for ransom payments and reanalyzing physical evidence.
A retired FBI agent just revealed her 10-step plan to solve the Nancy Guthrie case, nearly five months after Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mother was abducted in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1.
On Saturday, June 20, Jennifer Coffindaffer took to X to share her top “investigative tools not being used” in the case.
More than half of Coffindaffer’s suggestions involved “Porch Guy” — the masked individual seen on Nancy’s front porch in footage from her doorbell camera — and/or billboards. The former FBI agent urged investigations to update current signage to include both Porch Guy’s face and Spanish messaging, as well as to add billboards in Tucson. Coffindaffer also suggested releasing enhanced photos of Porch Guy to the public, including posters of Porch Guy’s face placed in every storefront and street corner in Tucson.

Additionally, the expert proposed that investigators “tickle the wire” by “depositing a substantial amount of money ($100,00) in the Bitcoin account on the two ransom demands.” She suggested they also hire CertiK, a Web3 and blockchain security firm, “to set up a trap in terms of the blockchain to trace.”
Other smart moves to make in Nancy’s case, according to Coffindaffer, would be increasing the reward from $1.2 million to $2.2 million, reanalyzing Nancy’s doormat for DNA, and releasing Porch Guy’s shoe size “based on relative size to porch tiles.”
She continued, “For heaven’s sake, allow the Cajun Navy, EquuSearch, Madres Buscadoras, and any other private search groups to look in that desert. Sheriff [Chris] Nanos, have a deputy lead the oversight.”
To conclude her update, Coffindaffer pointed out, “Unless LE [law enforcement] knows who did this, they need the public’s help.”
Recently, the retired FBI agent similarly speculated that law enforcement already knows who Porch Guy is, declaring that otherwise, the “ball has been dropped.”
Nancy, 84, was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on the evening of January 31. Despite Savannah offering a $1 million reward, in addition to other reward money, no suspect has been named in the case.
