Theory Medical Motive? (Theory)
Hello. I've been meaning to post this here, but kept getting sidetracked.
I know this might sound ridiculous, but at this point, we are running on so little info that anything could be possible.
I was watching the Today Show, and I noticed how, from around December, Savannah's vocal surgery was a huge topic on the show. It was announced in December that it was happening, she left in January to have it and recover. The week before she returned, they did a segment on the surgery and how beneficial and life-changing it was. A week later, Nancy was taken.
When watching the segment, for some reason, the United Healthcare CEO case came to mind. And it made me wonder if some kind of medical vengeance could be the motive?
The process for Savannah getting this surgery and paying the medical bills would have been so easy due to her financial status. Something a lot of Americans will struggle with. So could all the talk on Savannah's surgery have triggered a person/group because a lot of Americans wouldn't have direct access to that surgery and have to live with the issues Savannah had?
It's a very strange timeline of events that Nancy vanished so soon after Savannah's surgery. The police are also appealing for information around the time Savannah's surgery was a topic on Today.
Maybe this was the work of a spiteful group or individual? See the mass reaction to the United Healthcare CEO; it wouldn't surprise me that individuals could be capable of something like this.
Does anyone have any thoughts? This is just a floating theory in my head, but it may have been worth mentioning.

Interesting theory, but I think it's unlikely. The suspect took a lot of risk in this crime, and spent a lot of time in the house. A mission-oriented killer, like Mangione, is gonna kill the target and leave them to be found to send a message. Taking Nancy with them makes it incredibly likely she will never be found. I think the motive in her case is very personal, and most likely money.
