Search for Nancy Guthrie Enters Day 7 as Investigators Probe New Message and Seize Vehicle

Authorities are treating the 84-year-old’s disappearance as a likely abduction, with the FBI offering a $50,000 reward.

Overview

  • Investigators said they are reviewing a newly received message for authenticity after earlier media-reported ransom notes, declining to disclose its contents.
  • Officers seized a blue Subaru SUV from Guthrie’s garage and agents examined the home’s roof, removing a wired device, as follow-up searches continued in the area.
  • Detectives’ timeline shows the doorbell camera disconnected around 1:47 a.m., motion was logged about 2:12 a.m., and her pacemaker app disconnected near 2:28 a.m., with blood on the porch confirmed as hers by DNA.
  • The FBI says multiple communications are under scrutiny, one person was arrested over a fake ransom demand, and no suspect or person of interest has been publicly identified.
  • Guthrie’s children posted new appeals for direct contact and proof of life as officials stress her need for daily medication, while police reviewed store surveillance tied to a vehicle tip and the president said the probe was going “very well.”
