Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing by her family on February 1 from her home near Tucson, Arizona, after she failed to attend a virtual church service at a friend’s home, according to authorities. She was last seen around 9:45pm on January 31, after dinner at her daughter Anne’s residence.
Days after her mother’s disappearance, Savannah, flanked by sister Annie Guthrie and brother Camron Guthrie, shared an emotional video on Instagram pleading for more information about her mother’s potential kidnappers and saying the family was “ready to talk.”
In the video, the siblings also thanked the public for praying for their beloved mother. “We felt them and we continue to believe she felt them too,” they said.
In an ongoing investigation involving state and federal agencies, authorities released a video featuring a person they identified as a suspect. The video shows a masked and heavily armed man appearing to interfere with security cameras at Nancy’s residence in the Tucson area.
The FBI said it is looking for a man between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall with a medium build. In the image captured by the doorbell camera, he is wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack with a capacity of 25 liters.
The doorbell camera stopped working at 1:47 a.m. on February 1, according to a timeline previously provided by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
The Guthrie family has announced a $1 million reward for her safe return. Additionally, the FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for any information that may lead to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her disappearance.
