Overview
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said Friday it is assessing a newly received message for authenticity as part of the search for the 84-year-old Tucson-area resident.
- Authorities are also evaluating earlier ransom communications sent to media that set a first deadline for Feb. 5 and a second for Feb. 9, though no contact with the family has been verified.
- DNA testing confirmed blood found on the front porch belongs to Nancy Guthrie, and investigators outlined an overnight window with a doorbell camera disconnect at 1:47 a.m., detected movement at 2:12 a.m., and a pacemaker app disconnect at 2:28 a.m.
- No suspects or persons of interest have been identified, with the sheriff saying “everybody’s still a suspect.”
- The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward, billboards have been deployed, and Guthrie’s family is pleading for direct proof of life as she requires daily medication.
