IRONCLAD EVIDENCE FROM A HOSPITAL BED: The Guthrie family’s elderly gardener suddenly regained consciousness after a mysterious “accident.” His first words were: “The person who took Nancy was…”
Investigators confirmed that the long-time gardener, in his late seventies, had been unconscious for several days following what was initially described as a workplace accident. He was found near the rear service path shortly after Nancy Guthrie went missing.
Medical staff say he suffered head trauma consistent with a fall, though detectives have not ruled out outside involvement. Unable to be questioned during the critical early phase, his sudden recovery has now focused attention on him.
Witnesses report that moments after opening his eyes, he spoke the single alarming sentence before losing strength. Authorities secured the room, documenting the utterance, but stress that it must be treated cautiously until he can give a coherent account.
Detectives are investigating whether the gardener actually witnessed Nancy being taken, overheard a conversation, or if his “accident” was an attempt to silence a potential witness. No names have been confirmed, and medical professionals warn that fragmented speech can mix memory, confusion, and stress.
For now, his statement is a developing lead, not definitive proof. Nancy Guthrie remains missing, and its true meaning has yet to be determined.
