Can a Murder Case Be Cleared Without an Arrest? | Plus the FBI Returns to the Nancy Guthrie Scene

Can a homicide investigation be considered "cleared" even if no one is ever arrested or charged? It's a question that surprises many people, and tonight we're breaking down how and why that can happen from a law enforcement perspective.

Join retired Chicago homicide detective Danny Stover, Tim Murphy, Will Svilar, and Maureen O'Connell as we explain the difference between a case being cleared and closed, why those terms matter, and whether those investigative concepts could have relevance in the Nancy Guthrie investigation. To be clear, we are not saying that is what has happened in Nancy's case—we're explaining how these investigative processes work.

We'll also discuss the latest developments surrounding the FBI's return to the Nancy Guthrie scene and what investigators may be hoping to accomplish by revisiting the location.
