“I think something went very wrong inside the house,” Burgess said in an episode of Brian Entin Investigates, citing the blood found at the scene.
Burgess also noted how little blood appears in evidence released by investigators. “Where does it go?” she wondered. “Does it go into a car? Does it follow a path? … It’s just like it vanishes. She just vanishes.”
As for the presumption that Nancy was kidnapped, Burgess thinks those responsible might have abducted the 84-year-old to target someone else.
“Who in her orbit — let’s call it that, it could be family, it could be friends — would be hurt the most [by the kidnapping]?” she asked. “Something could have come up there that we don’t know about, and that’s up to people in her orbit to figure out. Because it’s a very mean, angry, horrible thing to do. And then if it goes wrong — which obviously it did, I think — it doesn’t make sense that she would be a target to do more than abduct her.”
Burgess went on: “Is there retaliation? Is there revenge? You want to go down that line of possible motives, and that this is some way of getting even or whatever. I’m just listing them. It’s not that I think that it’s any one of those, but those would be possible motives. I mean, we usually do that anytime we’re profiling and trying to go after motive.”
Burgess, a professor at the Boston College School of Nursing, is a forensic nurse who has been pioneer in the assessment and treatment of victims of trauma and abuse, and she’s the author of books including Expert Witness: The Weight of Our Testimony When Justice Hangs in the Balanceand A Killer by Design: Murderers, Mindhunters, and My Quest to Decipher the Criminal Mind, according to her school bio. The character of Wendy Carr (Anna Torv) in Mindhunter is based on Burgess’ work with the FBI’s Behavioral Science Unit, per BC News.
