True crime content creator Melissa Earnest has shared a video on X while discussing the Nancy Guthrie case, questioning if it shows “a wheelchair carrier attached to” a vehicle. Nancy has been missing for over four months now, with no suspects having been identified in her abduction.
“Does anyone else remember when @JLRINVESTIGATES posted a photo of small tire marks in Nancy Guthrie’s yard? Now, look at the video I posted on something on the back of the vehicle in question. Could it be a wheelchair carrier attached to the vehicle? Are those wheelchair marks,” Earnest wrote.
HT.com could not independently verify the video.
True crime YouTubers and content creators have shared various theories on the case over the months, including ways in which Nancy may have been ambushed, what the blood in the house indicated and more. Some content creators who showed up at Nancy’s house were even arrested.
