A self-styled investigator has made a shocking claim in the Nancy Guthrie case. Jonathan Lee Riches or JLR, who is back in Tucson, claimed to ‘have an idea’ about the perpetrators in the kidnapping case.
Amid this, JLR made the claim that he had an idea of who might be behind the kidnapping. Here's all you need to know about the self-styled investigator's post.
JLR claimed in an X post that he had ‘an idea who the Nancy Guthrie perps are.’
“We are watching!!,” the self-styled investigator added.
However, JLR did not provide any further information about who the perpetrator might be. HT.com could not independently verify his claims.
It is unlikely that JLR, a streamer and self-styled investigator, might know more about the Nancy Guthrie case than the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI. Throughout the trial, JLR has consistently brought up Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni, playing to public interest in the duo, though he hasn't directly accused them of anything. Notably, his posts about Tommaso and Annie continued long after the Pima County Sheriff's Department made it clear that none of the Guthrie family members were suspects in the case.
JLR's post claiming to know who might be behind the kidnapping was also slammed online.
One person commented on the post “Noone knows who the perps are or they would be arrested already!!”. Another asked “Just a theory or have evidence?”. Notably, if JLR had evidence it would make sense to approach the authorities so they could take action as they saw fit.
Another sarcastically remarked “Sure ya do, bud.”
