Family renews appeal for clues in Nancy Guthrie disappearance

Savannah Guthrie and her relatives issued a fresh plea on Saturday, urging the public to revisit personal records that might aid the investigation into the 84-year-old's abduction from her Tucson home on February 1.

Timeline of the case

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her residence in Tucson, Arizona. Authorities believe she was forcibly taken by an unidentified masked individual captured on security footage outside her property the night she vanished.

Nearly two months later, law enforcement has not named a suspect, though they suspect the victim was deliberately targeted. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated investigators are "not 100% sure" of that assessment.

Evidence and ongoing efforts

Police have collected DNA samples and examined alleged ransom notes, but no arrests have been made. Authorities continue to request surveillance footage from neighbors, particularly from the night of the abduction and preceding days.

The FBI has joined the search, offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's return. The family has added $1 million to that total.

Family's emotional plea

"We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom's case. Someone knows something. Please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key."

Statement from the Guthrie family

In a video posted last month, Savannah Guthrie addressed the captor directly, saying, "She may be lost, she may already be gone." The family emphasized they cannot grieve until Nancy is found and laid to rest.

How the public can help

Residents are asked to review any recordings or personal notes from February 1 or the days leading up to the disappearance. Tips can be submitted to local law enforcement or the FBI.
