A self-proclaimed investigator questioned whether Nancy GuthrieThe kidnappers are very rich. Before passing by FBI The attorney claims “the greatest defense attorney in the world” will handle the case. The question was raised by Jonathan Lee Riches (JLR), who shared excerpts from an interview with former FBI agent Maureen O’Connell with Megyn Kelly.
In the interview, the former law enforcement official claimed that sources told her that authorities were close to “Put the case together‘. She added that it could take so long because “the greatest defense attorneys in the world” are likely to be handling the case and authorities must be prepared for the possibility of “voluminous” amounts of evidence being “thrown out” during the trial.
The former FBI agent went on to explain that cases are often brought before prosecution and trial are contemplated, so evidence must be watertight to avoid being thrown out during trial. O’Connell shared her insight that whoever was the defense attorney in the case would have done their best to exclude the above evidence in order to give their client, the perpetrator of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapping, a fighting chance.
However, hiring a good defense lawyer doesn’t come cheap, which is something Jaguar Land Rover points out when sharing excerpts from the interview.
What did Jaguar Land Rover say to Nancy Guthrie’s kidnappers?
in an postalJLR, who has been following the case for some time, wrote, “She claims that the greatest defense attorney will take on the case. It will cost money. Is she implying that Nancy Guthrie, the criminal, is rich?”
He added, “No defense attorney is going to take this case for free, pro bono.”
The self-proclaimed investigator said that given the high profile and national attention of the case, defense attorneys would not take on the case for free despite the publicity involved. Although Jaguar Land Rover didn’t specify, Nancy Guthrie is an 84-year-old woman and the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.

Whoever represents her kidnapper is likely to get more negative publicity than positive. Moreover, public sentiment strongly sided with the Guthrie family. So the self-proclaimed investigator’s view is that anyone representing the guilty party is likely to charge a hefty fee, especially if it’s an experienced attorney, which the former FBI agent seemed to indicate when he said “the greatest defense lawyers in the world” would take on the case.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing by her family on February 1, and authorities believe she was taken the night before from her home in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson, Arizona. So far, video released by authorities showing a masked man showing up at her door the night before is all the public knows about the suspect in the case.
