Nancy Guthrie case suffered when authorities 'rushed to judgment' that she had 'wandered off,' source alleges

The Nancy Guthrie case was bungled from the start, an anonymous source alleges in a new report.

"Speaking with some people, that actually know the intimate knowledge of this investigation, told me that there was a rush to judgment of what was happening at that scene, and it was that Nancy had somehow wandered off," the source said in a NewsNation interview that aired Thursday. "So they rushed to that judgment, stayed with that judgment, and then ran this investigation as if it were a search-and-rescue issue, as opposed to a possible criminal issue."

Law enforcement on the scene were not "tenured homicide detectives" and "didn't have a lot of experience," which happens when people install their friends into positions, the source also alleged, adding that there are no solid suspects.
