Nancy Guthrie: No Leads 8 Days After Abduction
9 Feb
Summary
- 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Tucson home.
- Police admit no leads exist eight days after disappearance.
- Family agrees to pay ransom for Nancy Guthrie's safe return.
The investigation into the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of TV anchor Savannah Guthrie, faces mounting public frustration. Eight days after her disappearance from her Tucson, Arizona home, police have admitted they still have no leads. The FBI is assisting the Pima County Sheriff's Office. Bloodstains found at the crime scene have been identified as Ms. Guthrie's, and she requires daily medication due to limited mobility.
Authorities are examining several ransom notes demanding cryptocurrency payments. In a heartfelt video, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings announced their agreement to pay the ransom to secure their mother's safe return. They have received communications from those claiming to be holding Nancy. The family's plea came after initial reports that ransom demands were sent to media outlets.
The lack of progress has led to widespread criticism on social media, with users questioning the effectiveness of the ongoing investigation. The Pima County Sheriff's Office has faced scrutiny, including Sheriff Chris Nanos attending a college basketball game while deputies were actively working the case. One source within the department called the decision 'tone deaf' given the circumstances.
