Nancy Guthrie case latest: Weeks after ‘Today’ host Savannah Guthrie’s mother went missing from her Tucson home, new claims about the presenter’s husband, Michael Feldman, have emerged, linking the kidnapping case to the Jeffrey Epstein files and former President Bill Clinton.
Latest in Nancy Guthrie case
A major piece of evidence and lead in the case was a glove found a few miles from Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home. It was sent for a DNA match. However, there was no further development.
“There were no DNA hits in CODIS,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said. “At this point, there have been no confirmed CODIS matches in this investigation,” the department said, suggesting that other DNA samples had been put through the system.
CODIS is a storehouse of DNA taken from crime suspects or people with convictions. Any hits could identify possible suspects in Guthrie’s disappearance.
A porch camera recorded video of a man, wearing a backpack and ski mask, outside Guthrie’s home. Ransom notes were received by the Guthrie family and multiple news outlets. But nothing led to any strong leads. The kidnappers have not been identified yet.
Update on Michael Feldman
Meanwhile, Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, arrived in Tucson to help the search for his mother-in-law. TMZ shared a video of the businessman at Tucson International Airport on Tuesday afternoon.
This came as several social media theories linking Feldman to Epstein files. “Her husband’s company is listed as a co conspirator in the Epstein files… FGS Global,” one post with over 1 million views on X, platform formerly known as Twitter, read.
“Don’t forget that Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Michael Feldman, worked for the Clinton/Gore admin. Interesting timing with the Clinton’s hearing coming up and the Epstein files,” another person tweeted.
Fact-checking claims
Is Michael Feldman named in the infamous Epstein files? No. Neither is his current company. We went through the documents released by the Department of Justice. One Michael Feldman wrote an email to Epstein. But it is likely someone else, who described himself as a ‘theoretical physicist’.
Did Michael Feldman work with Bill Clinton? Yes. Savannah Guthrie’s husband, a communications consultant, previously worked in the Clinton administration as chief liaison to Congress and senior adviser for former Vice President Al Gore. He is currently at PR firm FGS Global.
FGS Global is not listed in the Epstein files. Feldman helped found Glover Park Group in 2001, and its name appears twice in the Epstein files. The firm merged with other companies to form FGS Global in 2021.
However, being mentioned in the files does not mean any wrongdoing. Public figures like Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Bill Clinton have also been mentioned.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the Guthrie family had been cleared as possible suspects in the Nancy Guthrie case.
