FBI Insider: Today Show Intruder Not Linked to Nancy Guthrie – Case Is Cold
A former FBI agent has poured cold water on the theory that the man who stormed the Today show set last week is connected to the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. The case, now six months old, is officially cold.
NewsNation's Brian Entin pressed ex-FBI agent Steve Moore on the possibility that the intruder who lunged at Craig Melvin was the same stalker who may have taken Guthrie. Moore didn't mince words.
Why the FBI Says the Intruder Is Not a Suspect
Moore dismissed the link outright. He pointed to NBC's elite security team. If the feds had flagged a real threat to Savannah Guthrie, NBC would have locked down the set. They didn't. That tells you everything.
“If the FBI had told them there was a stalker or potential danger to the stars of the Today show, they would have reacted appropriately,” Moore said. He added that if he were a betting man, he'd put all his money on the intruder being unrelated.
Savannah herself doesn't seem rattled. Moore noted that if she believed she was in danger, she'd have spoken up. Her employer would have a duty to protect her. Silence speaks volumes.
The Nancy Guthrie Case: A Cold Trail
Six months. No arrests. No sign of Nancy Guthrie. Moore confirmed the grim reality: “The case is cold. The case is completely cold.”
But cold doesn't mean closed. Moore explained that the FBI hands cold cases to fresh agents. New eyes, new angles. They call them “old dogs” – cases that never die. The trick is to start from scratch and avoid the same dead ends.
Moore believes that's exactly what the FBI is doing now. Rethinking. Reopening. Hoping for a break.
What This Means for the Investigation
For now, the intruder is a sideshow, not a suspect. The real work is on the cold trail. Americans deserve answers. The Constitution guarantees due process, not closure. But every family deserves the truth.
We'll keep watching. The FBI better be.
