Nancy Guthrie Was Reported Missing on February 1
Nancy Guthrie was initially believed to have missed her Sunday church service.
Nancy was first reported missing on February 1.
Although initial reports suggested a friend alerted her family of the 84-year-old's absence from her regular church service, a new source close to the Guthrie family revealed Nancy has been regularly watching a livestream of Savannah's New York church with a group of friends since the COVID pandemic.
After she failed to arrive at her friend's house the morning of February 1, the woman reached out to Nancy's other daughter, Annie Guthrie, to report that the senior couldn't be reached.
'Concerning Evidence' Found in Nancy Guthrie's Home
Experts suspect that Nancy Guthrie's kidnapping was not carefully planned.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department later confirmed that Nancy's home was being treated as a crime scene after "concerning evidence" was found.
Authorities immediately considered the possibility of an abduction, as Nancy had "no cognitive issues" but struggled with her mobility.
Law enforcement experts suggested that Nancy's abduction did not appear to involve a carefully planned kidnapping for ransom and instead may have spiraled out of control.
"The facts of what I see available to use right now are more in line with a potential crime gone wrong," retired FBI supervisory special agent Rob Chadwick said during an appearance on The Will Cain Show on February 9. "If someone were truly invested in trying to recover money for this case, they're going about it in a very, very different way."
