As the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its ninth week, Nancy Grace is making her stance clear. In a passionate response to the case, the legal analyst spoke out about the circumstances surrounding the disappearance, offering her candid opinion on how those responsible should be punished if they are found.

In exclusive clips sent to Parade from Nancy Grace’s interview on the Hang Out with Sean Hannity podcast, Grace quotes Savannah Guthrie‘s recent interview with Today and says that she hopes that those responsible receive the death penalty.

“Poor little Miss Guthrie could hardly walk to the mailbox. On a good day, she could walk to her mailbox, and some a-hole got her out of her bed in her little PJs, barefoot, and took her out of that house. She said, ‘My little bitty mother,’ which to me means she was bent over and frail,” Grace said.

Guthrie, 84, has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. Authorities believe that she was abducted from her home in the middle of the night. Investigators are working diligently to find out who is responsible and to locate Guthrie, but no suspects have been named and Guthrie’s whereabouts are still unknown.

“I want them to get the death penalty. That is what I want. … For what they have done to Miss Guthrie, there’s no other choice. I’m still holding out a thin hope that somewhere, somehow, she could be alive. But by God, if she’s not, the hounds of hell will chase those kidnappers until they are caught,” Grace added.

Arizona is one of 27 states that authorize the death penalty.

You can watch Grace’s full interview on FOX News Media’s Hang Out with Sean Hannitypodcast tomorrow, Tuesday, March 31.
