Nancy Guthrie was believed to have been abducted from her Arizona home.

The back door of Nancy Guthrie's home was left propped open and blood spatter was found on the front porch on the night of her mysterious disappearance.
As theories swirl on what that means for the investigation, former FBI agent Raymond Carr admitted he had doubts that the alleged kidnapper took Savannah Guthrie's ailing mom out of the house through the back entrance.
'I Think It Was an Entry'
The back door to Nancy Guthrie's house was left propped open on the night of her disappearance.
"I don’t think that the back door was an exit, I think it was an entry," Carr explained during an interview with NewsNation on Monday, March 30.
While eerie camera footage from Nancy's doorbell camera revealed a masked man appear to go into the home from the front door, Carr also theorized the suspect did not act alone, noting that "additional individuals" may have also gotten inside through the open back door.
However, he said the suspect or suspects "had to leave from the front of the home because of the blood that was found on the steps and on the porch."
"There’s no doubt in my mind that she left from the front," he revealed.
'No Signs of Assault'
A source claimed most rooms in Nancy Guthrie's home were 'immaculate.'
This update comes after NewsNation's Brian Entin reported there were "no signs of an assault" inside of Nancy's home.
"Most of the rooms were described as 'immaculate,'" he shared at the time. "So, the house was very, very clean."
The house was in such good condition that the Guthrie family initially thought their mother had suffered "some kind of medical episode" and medical personnel had been the ones to prop open the back door and take Nancy to the hospital.
"We thought maybe they came, and there was a stretcher, and they took her out the back," Savannah said in an emotional sit-down interview on her mother's heartbreaking disappearance. "But her phone was there, and her purse was there, and all her things. And it just didn’t make any sense."
'Injured But Not Killed'
Blood spatter was found on Nancy Guthrie's front porch and driveway.
As Radar previously reported, retired FBI agent Andrew Bringuel also suggested the blood found at her home indicated that Nancy's attacker was willing to injure her, but did not want to kill the elderly woman.
"If his intent was to murder her, he could have done so with the weapon on his person," he shared. "If she resisted, he hurt her – how badly in her compromised state may have led to tragic consequences the subject didn't plan."

A former FBI agent claimed blood patterns indicated she was carried out of the home.
Retired special agent Maureen O'Connell also analyzed the blood spatter found on Nancy's porch and determined it was unlikely she left on her own.
"I doubt that she walked out because there were no voids," she said last month. "So, let’s say the pattern of the blood is concentrated here, but the sphere is this big, it’s round, you would have a void here from one foot or from another foot or from something ... There don’t appear to be any voids."
"In my mind, she’s wrapped up in something and they’re carrying her out," she determined.
