Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, vanished from her Tucson home after being dropped off on January 31 and was reported missing the next day.
- Reports released late June say a second ransom‑style message sent in early February claimed she had died and investigators treated that note as linked to an earlier bitcoin ransom demand.
- Authorities found Nancy Guthrie’s blood on her front porch and released doorbell footage showing a masked, armed person tampering with the camera, but no suspect has been publicly named or arrested in the disappearance.
- Investigators continue DNA, video and digital forensics and have sent material to the FBI lab in Quantico while federal prosecutors have charged one man for sending false ransom communications.
- The Guthrie family is offering up to $1 million for information and officials say they withheld the second note’s contents to preserve the integrity of future interviews and tip development, not because the case is closed.
