Pima County Sheriff's Department has confirmed awareness of potential ransom notes concerning the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman. Reports indicate a demand for millions in Bitcoin has surfaced in connection with her case. Authorities are treating her Tucson-area home as a crime scene, classifying the event as a suspected kidnapping or abduction rather than a simple missing persons case.
Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasized that Nancy Guthrie requires medication daily for a condition that is potentially fatal if missed, stating that "it is a race against time." The FBI has joined the investigation, and samples have been collected from the home in hopes of developing a DNA profile. Detectives are prioritizing all tips and leads.
Nancy was last seen on Saturday night and was reported missing Sunday at noon after failing to attend church services. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, has appealed for public prayers and support during this critical time. The Sheriff's Department urges anyone with information to come forward as they work to locate Nancy safely.
