100 Days In, Guthrie Case Tests CSI Myth of Quick Crime Solves

It's been 100 days since Nancy Guthrie was abducted at her Arizona home, and despite massive searches and extensive media attention, authorities have no solid leads. The case has revived discussion of the 'CSI effect'—the belief that modern crime-solving is fast and high-tech—against the backdrop of rural geography and limited surveillance. Public punditry has offered a flood of theories that at times strained cooperation between federal and local investigators. DNA analysis continues, investigators chase clues from items tied to the suspect, and Guthrie's family remains hopeful as authorities press for tips to bring her home.
