Nancy Guthrie’s front door blood evidence points to ‘single abductor’: former FBI profiler
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
GRAPHIC CONTENT WARNING
The blood spatter on Nancy Guthrie’s front porch suggests a single abductor took her out of her home, according to a former FBI profiler.
“If there was no blood spatter pattern inside the house, then outside by the front door or while she was going through the door this is where she put up a fight or refused to go any further,” retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent Jim Clemente told Fox News Digital Monday.
“This is where she was assaulted. Most likely struck in the nose or mouth. She fell to her knees or on the ground, aspirated, then coughed up blood, which also dripped around the same spot.”

Guthrie is the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie. She had lived in her home in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood for decades before vanishing under suspicious circumstances on Feb. 1.

Sources with knowledge of the case previously told Fox News Digital there were no signs of a struggle inside. A masked intruder appeared on doorbell camera video taken at Guthrie’s front porch, and her back door was found propped open. Authorities have said they have not ruled out the possibility that multiple people could have been involved in her suspected kidnapping.
DNA TESTING IN NANCY GUTHRIE CASE COULD TAKE MONTHS BUT MAY BE FAST-TRACKED, EXPERT SAYS
Clemente said he believes her abductor then carried her away with her face up, which limited additional blood spatter. Video taken after local authorities released the crime scene shows a concentration of blood drops near the mat at her front door. The trail grows thin and ends where her front walkway meets the edge of the driveway.
“It rules out more than one person because if two people had control of her as they were leaving the house she would never have fallen to the ground,” he said. “They would have been in control of her body and prevented her from resisting and fighting and falling after she was struck in the face.”
She likely had her face down near the front door where images show the most blood, he said.

“The larger droplets are low-velocity blood spatter that fell directly out of her mouth,” he said. “Her face was facing downward when she coughed up the medium velocity small droplets, and it was within inches of the ground facing straight down.”
There’s no indication of “cast off” blood spatter, he said, which appears when blood is flung off of a moving object.

“The lack of directionality of the blood splatter says that those drops fell straight down, and she wasn’t moving fast,” he said. “So there is a contradiction in the evidence. I believe this was caused by the fact that she was carried from that first location to the car with her face up so only a minimum amount of blood was deposited on the walkway.”

He said it doesn’t look like she was dragged and believes she had been struck in the face with a fist or possibly the butt of the suspect’s handgun.
“This was not done very quickly because if it had been, the blood should’ve had a tail moving the direction that she was traveling,” he said.
Dr. Michael Baden, a famed forensic pathologist, previously told Fox News Digital he suspected the blood drops came from Guthrie’s hands or face.
“The nature of the blood spots with little pale centers or donut shapes are typical for drops that come from the nose or mouth, because they’re mixed with air,” he said in February.

“These are not innocent droplets,” he added. “From the shape, number of droplets and the place of the droplets outside the house on the porch, they are entirely consistent and indicative of occurring during an abduction.”

Illegal migrant accused of NY dumpster rape captured on Texas bus as he fled toward southern border: DA
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. — Texas authorities have arrested an illegal migrant from Honduras on a Greyhound bus headed toward the southern border in connection with the violent rape of a man behind a dumpster outside a New York restaurant, according to prosecutors.
The victim, who passed out drunk before the attack, was allegedly beaten and left for dead in a parking lot outside the Esperanza Deli Cafe in Amityville.
Jose Ignacio Bonilla Garcia, 32, first met the unnamed male victim in the deli, according to the Suffolk County District Attorney‘s Office.
They went outside around 4 a.m. on March 27, and the victim was so intoxicated that he collapsed unexpectedly, authorities said.
NEW YORK BILLS COULD ABOLISH LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE FOR SERIAL KILLERS AND COP KILLERS, CRITICS WARN
Surveillance video allegedly shows Bonilla Garcia drag the unconscious man behind a dumpster and sexually assault him.
The victim woke up in the middle of the attack, and Bonilla Garcia allegedly beat him unconscious once again with his fists and a wood plank, according to prosecutors, leaving him “bloodied and battered” on the ground before fleeing.
A delivery driver found the victim hours later and called 911.

By the time police had identified Bonilla Garcia as a suspect, he had already fled the state on a bus. U.S. Marshals captured him in Rosenberg, Texas, however, allegedly headed toward the southern border.
He has since been extradited from Fort Bend County in Texas to New York and was arraigned Monday.
“Accountability for perpetrators of sexual violence is not just a legal obligation, but also a moral one,” Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney said in a statement. “My office will do everything in its power to ensure that those who commit such heinous acts are held accountable, not just for the sake of justice, but to protect others and to send a clear message that these crimes will not be tolerated in Suffolk County.”
Bonilla Garcia is being held without bail on two charges of first-degree rape and one of felony assault. He’s due back in court on May 28.

The suspect faces up to 25 years in prison if convicted of the most serious charges.

Sun-soaked Boca Bash revelers meet badge blitz as cops flood wild floating party scene
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Thousands of bikini-clad revelers were met by an increased law enforcement presence as they took to the Florida water over the weekend for another year of the infamous boozy Boca Bash.
The party, which is held annually on the last Sunday of April, is a ticket-free event hosted on Lake Boca Raton, located along the Sunshine State’s southeastern coast.
While the bash attracts thousands of rowdy revelers, this year’s party saw a significant law enforcement presence up and down the shores after previous events led to numerous arrests.
“I will say that this year there is definitely a heavy law enforcement presence,” CJ Thomas, a local resident who regularly attends Boca Bash, told WPEC. “This year they really struck down on the boat ramps. So all of the local boat ramps from Delray to Fort Lauderdale are closed.”

Another local resident, Taylor Thomas, told the outlet that two undercover cops were there.
The City of Boca Raton has no official involvement regarding the sanctioning of the party, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital.
However, officials work closely with community partners, such as the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC), “on public safety, coordination with partner agencies, and providing the appropriate level of enforcement and response to help protect the community,” a city spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.
The Boca Raton Police Department confirmed that one individual was arrested on a charge of driving under the influence.
Additionally, preliminary information indicates FWC officers made three arrests over the weekend, two for boating under the influence and one for battery, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News Digital. Authorities also responded to six boating collisions that did not result in any serious injuries.

In 2018, 32-year-old Francis Roselin, of West Palm Beach, drowned while enjoying festivities on the water.
At the time of his death, his friend, Strogoff Prevot, told WPTV that Roselin had fallen behind when their group swam to a sandbar. Law enforcement and Roselin’s friends frantically searched for the missing swimmer, but rescue attempts by Ocean Rescue and the Coast Guard were unsuccessful.
Roselin’s body was later discovered by a swimmer at the bottom of the Intracoastal Waterway, with the Boca Raton Police Department determining he died by drowning.
Roselin’s girlfriend, Tamekia Rich, filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the City of Boca Raton, alleging officials had acted negligently by failing to provide adequate supervision of the water and failing to control the crowd.
However, the city rebutted the allegations, saying that Boca Bash was an unsanctioned event and therefore not hosted by officials.
Six years later, in 2024, drone video capturing two teenagers hurling two trash cans filled with bottles and other waste over the side of their fishing boat in footage that went viral, leading to outrage both online and within the community.
Video showed the two teens, 15 and 16, speeding away from the event as a trail of garbage was left in their wake.
The Boca Bash’s Facebook page condemned the incident, writing they were “angered and disturbed by these actions.”

“Once the video was posted, we quickly got to work with the community to discover who the owner of the boat was and who was on the vessel in this particular instance committing an egregious act,” they wrote.
The pair of teens ultimately turned themselves in to police and faced third-degree felony charges for causing pollution “so as to harm or injure human health or welfare, animal, plant or aquatic life or property,” the Miami Herald reported.
In a statement to the Palm Beach Post, one of the boy’s parents issued a statement through a spokesperson apologizing for their son’s actions.

“We take responsibility for caring for our oceans and our community very seriously, and we are extremely saddened by what occurred last weekend at Boca Bash,” the family wrote. “We want to extend our sincerest apologies to everyone who has been impacted and rightfully upset by what occurred.”

Cole Allen charged in Trump assassination attempt in first court appearance after WHCA Dinner shooting
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The suspect accused in the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner shooting made an initial appearance in federal court Monday, marking the first time the alleged would-be assassin heard the charges filed against him by prosecutors.
Cole Allen, 31, from Torrance, California, is accused of storming the Washington Hilton while armed with multiple weapons, and attempting to penetrate the ballroom in which President Donald Trump sat amongst Cabinet officials and hundreds of journalists Saturday night.
Allen appeared in federal court Monday wearing a blue prison jumpsuit to face charges of attempting to assassinate the President of the United States, discharge of a firearm during a crime of violence and transporting a firearm across state lines, according to the Department of Justice.
He has not yet entered a plea and will remain in custody.
WHO IS COLE ALLEN? CALIFORNIA MAN NAMED AS SUSPECT IN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS’ DINNER SHOOTING
Monday’s court appearance is separate from Cole’s arraignment, with the judge scheduling a detention hearing for April 30 and a preliminary hearing for May 11.
Allen is accused of traveling by train from California to Washington, D.C., while making one stop in Chicago, and checking into the hotel just one day before the planned event.
Shortly before the alleged shooting, authorities said Allen sent a written manifesto to members of his family, outlining his intent to target Trump and other Cabinet officials.
Within 30 minutes of the gala starting, Allen allegedly stormed the hotel lobby, equipped with a shotgun, handgun and knives, and breached security barricades that had been erected just one floor above the VIP-filled International Ballroom.
One Secret Service agent was struck by gunfire in a ballistic vest, and Allen was subsequently tackled by officers and taken into custody.
Allen was not injured, but was transported to a hospital to be evaluated. The Secret Service agent was also taken to receive medical treatment and is recovering.
The chaos was heard from inside the packed ballroom, with the 2,300 attendees taking cover under their tables as Trump and Vice President JD Vance were whisked away by security.
Approximately one hour later, Trump announced that law enforcement had asked attendees to evacuate the building, which was consistent with protocol, adding the event would be rescheduled within 30 days.
After the shooting, Allen’s brother contacted the New London Police Department in Connecticut to report receiving his brother’s alleged manifesto.
The police said in a statement they were contacted at 10:49 p.m. by someone who wanted to share information related to it, and the department said it then immediately alerted federal law enforcement, the Associated Press reported.

Allen faces the possibility of life in prison if convicted on the attempted assassination charge, with the two firearms charges carrying a maximum sentence of up to 10 years in federal prison.
Fox News Digital reached out to Allen’s defense team and federal prosecutors for comment.

Feds enter hunt for missing California grandpa linked to crypto fortune
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The FBI has joined the search for a missing Southern California grandfather as authorities escalate what is now being treated as a kidnapping investigation tied to a troubling web of fraud, impersonation and possible targeting linked to cryptocurrency wealth.
Nai Ping Hou, 74, vanished in March 2025 from his Rancho Cucamonga home and was reported missing weeks later on May 4.
Federal officials say possible foul play is suspected, noting Hou’s bank accounts were depleted before law enforcement was even notified of his disappearance.
Investigators with the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department initially described the case as a suspicious disappearance but now say evidence points to a possible abduction.
NANCY GUTHRIE’S DISAPPEARANCE DEFIES FBI KIDNAPPING TRENDS INVOLVING ELDERLY VICTIMS
Hou’s son Wen Hou said the last time he saw his father was during a fishing trip in March, just days before he disappeared.
“He was in a very good mood,” Wen Hou told KTLA. “He caught a lot of fish. His friends were there, too. He was very happy.”
But weeks later, subtle changes raised alarm.
“[Always saying] he’s tired or he’ll call me later, just reasons that were strange,” he said. “He had very short responses and didn’t share photos anymore.”
Wen Hou said the moment it truly set in came when his father stopped answering calls altogether and sent an unusually cold message on his birthday.
“It’s surreal to think someone could be impersonating my dad through text,” he previously told KABC.
The family said that’s when they realized something was seriously wrong and grew deeply concerned for his safety.
When friends went to check on Hou’s home in early May, they found it had been completely cleared out.
BORDER PROTOCOLS AUTOMATICALLY TRIGGERED IN SEARCH FOR NANCY GUTHRIE, RETIRED AGENT SAYS
“Something really bizarre is going on,” Wen Hou said. “The place was completely cleared out. No people, no vehicles, not even garbage left behind.”
Investigators later confirmed “extensive fraudulent activity” in Hou’s bank accounts around the time of his disappearance. More than $1 million was drained through unauthorized transactions, including purchases of gold and cryptocurrency.
“His money was also gone,” Wen Hou said. “Funds were being transferred out to purchase gold online. He’s not tech-savvy at all, so I don’t know how he could’ve done any of that himself.”
Authorities say Hou’s vehicles were also sold and there was an apparent attempt to rent out his home.
Hou’s wife was out of the country visiting family in China at the time he vanished and received unusual messages from his phone, including one suggesting she delay returning home.
While investigators have not confirmed a motive, the family has told KABC they fear Hou may have been targeted because of their financial success in cryptocurrency. Wen Hou is a hedge fund executive who has invested heavily in the space.
“I miss him dearly,” Wen Hou said. “He’s always been a guiding presence in my life.”
“We’re really worried, and we really want my dad back,” he added.
Hou is described as 5 feet 7 inches tall and about 170 pounds, with dark hair and a birthmark on his upper left shoulder. He also has a surgery scar on his lower back. He has not been seen or heard from since March 2025.
Investigators are also seeking information about a silver Toyota Yaris believed to be connected to the case.
The Hou family has launched a dedicated website to raise awareness, share photos and collect tips. The site includes a video message in which Wen Hou makes an emotional plea for his father’s safe return.

A reward of up to $250,000 is being offered for information leading to Hou’s safe return or the arrest of those responsible.
Authorities urge anyone with information to contact the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department or the FBI.

Mother from affluent Boston suburb accused of murdering two children during custody dispute
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A mother from an affluent Boston suburb was arrested in Vermont after police say she killed her two young children.
Janette MacAusland, 49, of Wellesley, Massachusetts, was taken into custody by police in Bennington, Vermont on Friday night after she arrived at a family home in that town “appearing highly distraught,” and having a visible, bloody neck injury.
“Officers attempted to engage her in conversation and, during the interaction, became increasingly concerned for the welfare of her children,” the Bennington Police Department said in a release.

Police say they contacted Wellesley authorities for a welfare check at her Massachusetts home. When Wellesley police arrived on the scene, they made a grisly discovery. They say MacAusland’s two children were found dead.
They took MacAusland into custody as a fugitive from justice, and said Massachusetts issued a criminal warrant for two counts of murder. She is being held in the Marble Valley Correctional Facility in Vermont and will be arraigned Monday afternoon at Rutland Criminal Division court.

The court said it did not know whether Rutland has an attorney.
MacAusland’s husband, Samuel MacAusland, filed for divorce in October after nine years of marriage, citing an “irretrievable breakdown of the marriage,” court records show. Those documents also list their two children, seven-year-old Kai and six-year-old Ella. Samuel was seeking custody of the children.
The children attended Schofield Elementary School.

“We were devastated to learn of the tragic death of two of our WPS students, a second-grader and kindergartener at Schofield Elementary School,” Wellesley Public schools said in a statement shared with Fox News Digital.
“This is an unimaginable loss that will be deeply felt not just at Schofield but across our entire community. Our crisis team is planning support for students, staff, and families as we prepare for the reopening of school on Monday. I ask that we all keep this family in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.”
