A former New York Police Department hostage negotiator has come forward with a chilling theory about what may have happened to Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother, and it paints a disturbing picture. Wallace Zeins, who spent years negotiating high-stakes abductions for the NYPD, believes that 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was likely taken by more than one person from her Tucson, Arizona home late Sunday night.
