Search Enters Day 6 for Nancy Guthrie as FBI Reviews Ransom Notes

Authorities are probing a possible kidnapping, with unverified ransom demands under FBI review.

Overview

  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed DNA testing matched blood found on the porch to Nancy Guthrie and released a device-based overnight timeline of her disappearance.
  • The FBI said the letters set a 5 p.m. Thursday deadline with a second deadline on Monday and announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or an arrest.
  • Savannah Guthrie and her siblings posted videos pleading for verifiable proof of life and direct contact, saying the family has received no direct communication.
  • Investigators have identified no suspects or persons of interest; one person was arrested over a fake ransom demand as all leads continue to be evaluated.
  • Officials stress urgency because the 84-year-old has limited mobility and needs daily medication, and they say they believe she is still alive.
