Nancy Guthrie Case Becomes Criminal Probe as Investigators Suspect Abduction From Arizona Home

Investigators now suspect an abduction from her bed, making the search urgent because she needs daily medication.

Overview

  • Authorities say 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home Saturday night and was reported missing on Sunday after she failed to appear at church.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Office is treating the residence as a crime scene, with homicide detectives leading the investigation.
  • Detectives believe she was taken against her will from her bedroom; multiple outlets report signs of forced entry and blood inside the home, reinforcing that she did not leave voluntarily.
  • The FBI is assisting with technical analysis, while regional teams deployed dogs, drones, and helicopters as the focus shifted from open-field searching to a criminal investigation.
  • Officials stress time is critical due to her limited mobility and need for daily medication, and they have set up a tip line with a reward of up to $2,500 through 88‑Crime.
