Nancy Guthrie Update: Kidnapper's Total Silence Analyzed by Psychologist

The Nancy Guthrie case has entered its most disturbing phase. Three weeks since her abduction, the person who took this 84-year-old woman has communicated nothing. No demands. No ransom. No proof she's alive. Just complete, unbroken silence.

Investigators have received ransom notes—but those came from opportunists, not the actual kidnapper. The person holding Nancy has made no effort to leverage her for money, negotiate her release, or even acknowledge they have her.

Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott joins True Crime Today to analyze what this behavioral pattern means. In kidnapping cases, silence isn't neutral—it's evidence. When someone takes a human being and refuses to engage, it tells investigators something about their psychology, their motives, and potentially their intent.

Scott examines the possibilities. Is this silence strategic calculation? Post-crime panic? Or something more disturbing—an offender for whom the act itself was the point, the taking and controlling, with no need for acknowledgment or external reward?

The Guthrie family has made repeated public appeals. They've offered payment. They've pleaded on camera for any sign their mother is alive. The response has been nothing. What kind of person remains unmoved by those pleas? What does that tell us about who has Nancy and what they want?

This episode provides expert psychological analysis on the most critical question in the Guthrie case: what does three weeks of silence mean—and what does it suggest about what comes next?
