During a news conference on Monday, Nanos said Nancy Guthrie's house is a crime scene and that she didn't leave on her own.
"We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene that we do, in fact, have a crime," Nanos said. "She did not leave on her own. We know that."
A law enforcement source told Fox News Digital that there were "blood drops" leading from the entryway outside down the house's pathway toward the driveway.
