Search for Nancy Guthrie Intensifies After DNA Match at Home as FBI Probes Ransom Notes

Detectives say blood found at the Tucson property matches the 84-year-old, increasing concern for her safety.

Overview

  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said DNA testing confirmed blood at the residence belongs to Nancy Guthrie.
  • Investigators with the sheriff’s office and the FBI are reviewing multiple ransom communications sent to media outlets, which remain unverified despite some containing details not publicly released and purported deadlines.
  • FBI Phoenix chief Heith Janke called the case time‑critical and announced a $50,000 reward for credible information after President Donald Trump ordered federal law enforcement resources to assist.
  • Device and home data narrowed the overnight window: the doorbell camera went offline around 2 a.m. Sunday and a pacemaker app lost connection at 2:28 a.m., yet no suspect or person of interest has been identified.
  • Savannah Guthrie and her siblings publicly requested verifiable proof of life before engaging, stressing that their mother needs daily medication and has significant health vulnerabilities.
