Blood was discovered at her Tucson-area home, raising concerns of foul play. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen Saturday night at her residence. It is believed she may have been forcibly taken from her home.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos provided updates during a recent news conference. “We do believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will,” said Nanos. He emphasized the urgency of the case and requested any potential abductors to come forward: “Just call us. Let her go.”
Family members realized something was wrong when Nancy did not attend church on Sunday morning. Upon investigation, they found her personal belongings, including her wallet and cellphone, still inside her home. However, Nancy was absent.
Evidence at the Scene

Ongoing Investigation
The investigation continues with the FBI’s assistance. John Edwards, the assistant special agent in charge, stated, “Every lead and tip is important.” Authorities have established a tip line and are offering a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to an arrest.
Concerns about Nancy’s health amplify the urgency of the situation. She requires daily medication, and Sheriff Nanos warned that her life could be in immediate danger if she does not receive it.
