Mike McCutcheon CNNA vehicle can be an “amazing” trove of potential evidence because it tells investigators so much about a person, a former police detective said. “We live in our vehicles, we do everything in our vehicles, whether it’s committing crimes or not,” former police detective Mike McCutcheon told CNN’s Laura Coates early Wednesday. Investigators will be looking for blood evidence using the chemical Luminol, as they know Nancy Guthrie was bleeding when she was abducted, McCutcheon said. Tire tread, he added, “can be like a fingerprint” and investigators will be tracking the vehicle’s telematics to see where it’s been. If Guthrie was in the car, “particularly if she’s moving or struggling, she’s going to leave some evidence behind,” he said.
