The suspect’s mother-in-law has publicly revealed to police her son-in-law’s last phone call on the same day Savannah Guthrie’s mother went missing
THE CRIME CALL
Investigators have disclosed a significant new development in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, confirming that the suspect’s mother-in-law recently provided police with details of a 27-second phone call made by her son-in-law on the very day Nancy was reported missing.
According to authorities, the woman came forward during a follow-up interview, stating that she initially did not consider the call important. However, after learning of emerging evidence in the case, she realized the brief conversation might hold investigative value.
Police say the call, which has since been verified through mobile records, was placed during a critical window in the timeline detectives have been working to reconstruct.
“Short calls can contain very meaningful information,” a police spokesperson explained. “The final seconds of this exchange, in particular, provided a clue we are now actively pursuing.”
While officials declined to release a full transcript, sources familiar with the investigation indicate that the suspect’s tone during the call shifted noticeably. The closing remarks reportedly referenced a location or physical detail that investigators believe may connect directly to the ongoing search efforts.
Authorities emphasized that the call contains no graphic or explicit content, but acknowledged that its implications are considered highly significant.
Detectives are now cross-referencing the information with surveillance data, geographic records, and previously collected evidence. The newly revealed details have reportedly influenced both search strategy and questioning priorities.
Sources close to the Guthrie family say they have been informed of the development. The family has not issued a public comment but continues to cooperate with authorities.
Police stressed that the investigation remains active and urged the public to avoid speculation.
“This is an evolving case,” the spokesperson added. “Each new piece of information must be carefully verified.”
Further updates are expected as investigators continue their analysis of the call and its potential significance.
