What’s the latest on the investigation?
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a news conference on Monday that Nancy Guthrie was last seen Saturday evening around 9 p.m. Her family reported her missing around noon Sunday after she did not show up to church.
“We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime scene, and we‘re asking the community‘s help,” Nanos said.
Nancy Guthrie did not suffer from dementia and had full cognitive function, though she had physical limitations and was not able to walk more than 50 yards on her own, the sheriff said.
Police were combing through hours of surveillance video at the home and imploring neighbors in Guthrie’s area to do the same on Monday.
The FBI is aware of the case, NBC News reported, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, along with homicide detectives, were assisting with the search, according to the sheriff.
Nanos expressed urgency as he said Nancy Guthrie needs medication that if not taken within 24 hours of her disappearance could be “fatal.”
