Why Are Police Searching Nancy Guthrie's Septic Tank?
A former SWAT team captain said it's possible investigators are 'trying to make sure' that nothing is in the septic tank that 'could indicate any kind of guilt.'
A news outlet spoke with former SWAT team captain Josh Schirard to find out why Nancy's septic tank would have to be searched.
"A lot of people forget that having a septic tank means wastewater doesn’t go into a city sewer, it goes into the tank," he shared. "So, somebody may have flushed something thinking that would get rid of it, but instead it would actually just be deposited in the septic tank."
He added: "It is a possibility that (investigators) are now trying to make sure that there's nothing in there that could indicate any kind of guilt."
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February 1.
