KEY CLUE: How Backpack Detail Could Lead to Guthrie Suspect

The FBI has identified the black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack carried by the masked suspect in the Nancy Guthrie abduction as a crucial lead. Former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer noted the backpack’s low cost and availability at Walmart, suggesting the crime was “low budget and not professional, just planned.” Investigators hope the detail will help narrow tips and connect the suspect to local purchases.
