- Nancy Guthrie case points to criminal underworld 'wrench attack' theory, retired detective says
Nancy Guthrie, mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, was apparently abducted in what experts suggest may be a "wrench attack" - a crime where hackers hire local criminals to kidnap victims' relatives for ransom. A retired detective notes the case shows mixed characteristics of both sophisticated cybercriminal tactics and street-level thuggery, with no arrests made over 100 days after ransom notes were sent to media outlets.
