Major Missing Persons and Abductions

Nancy Guthrie’s family has renewed a public plea asking Tucson and southern Arizona residents to review any camera footage, notes, texts or memories from Jan. 1–Feb. 2—especially the evening of Jan. 31, the early hours of Feb. 1 and the late evening of Jan. 11—and reiterated a $1 million reward as investigators probe possible doorbell-camera images of a masked man and alleged cryptocurrency ransom claims now forwarded to the FBI. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos defended his team’s early handling of the case, urged whoever is holding Guthrie to “let her go,” and said investigators are leaning heavily on digital evidence, surveillance, forensic analysis and forensic genetic genealogy after additional camera images produced no overtly suspicious activity, while neighbors reported “atypical” pet behavior on Jan. 11 and Feb. 1.
