New evidence emerging at Guthrie’s home has made the search for her mother even more difficult…
LATEST EVIDENCE
Police have confirmed a dramatic new development in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, after the elderly gardener who works for the Guthrie family regained consciousness following what authorities described as a mysterious accident earlier this month.
According to investigators, the man had been hospitalized and unresponsive for several days, leaving detectives unable to question him despite believing he may have witnessed something important. Late Monday night, doctors reported that he suddenly woke up and was able to speak briefly.
His first and only sentence, spoken weakly but clearly, immediately drew the attention of police. Investigators have not released the full wording to the public, but confirmed that the statement directly identified the person responsible for Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.
“What he said was coherent, specific, and consistent with evidence we already have,” a police spokesperson said. “It was not a guess.”
Due to the gardener’s fragile condition, questioning was halted shortly afterward. Authorities stated that his words are now being treated as new evidence, not yet as a formal witness statement, and are being carefully verified against surveillance footage, timelines, and prior testimonies.
Police would not confirm whether the individual named by the gardener is the same suspect currently being questioned, but acknowledged that the information has significantly strengthened one investigative theory.
The Guthrie family has been informed of the update. Sources close to the family say the news was both emotional and overwhelming, but they remain hopeful that the case is finally moving closer to clarity.
Investigators emphasized that the inquiry is still ongoing and urged the public to avoid speculation.
“This changes the weight of the evidence,” the spokesperson added. “But we are proceeding carefully. Every word matters.”
Further updates are expected as police continue to verify the gardener’s statement and assess its legal significance.
