The circumstances point toward a carefully selected victim rather than a random act. Nancy left behind her cell phone, medications, and personal belongings, while blood at the scene signals resistance and struggle. Fox emphasized that whoever committed the abduction likely surveilled her in advance, noting her routines, security limitations, and vulnerability as an elderly woman living alone. Retired detective Chris McDonough suggested that the perpetrator had likely crossed paths with Nancy before—perhaps a delivery person, a gardener, or someone else with knowledge of her presence and habits.
