Pima police have confirmed that blood found at Savannah Guthrie’s mother’s home belongs to Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 years old. Reports indicated that she sustained injuries after being forcibly taken from her residence on Sunday morning.
“The blood stains on the porch were traced back to Nancy,” police stated. “It’s important to note that we have yet to identify any suspects or persons of interest in this situation.”
As the search continues, authorities noted the urgency, given that Nancy requires daily medication. “Currently, we believe Nancy is still missing, and our goal is to bring her home,” police shared during a news conference, while emphasizing their commitment to the case.
This investigation has become quite intricate, described by officials as “very large and complex with many moving parts.” They mentioned being in a phase of waiting for various analyses and lab reports.
Regarding recently circulated reports about surveillance cameras at Nancy’s home being damaged, police stated, “We have no confirmation of any cameras being vandalized.”
An update was provided about a vehicle associated with the case; police explained that it was a standard procedure to process scenes in these situations. They’ve also engaged with an Uber driver who confirmed that Nancy had taken the service to her family’s house.

During the press briefing, a reward of $50,000 was announced for information leading to Nancy or to those responsible for her disappearance. Authorities are also aware of a ransom letter that was sent. Interestingly, they apprehended one scammer trying to solicit ransom money and have investigated multiple reports concerning ransoms.
Police underscored the seriousness of Nancy’s condition, appealing to the public: “This is an 84-year-old grandmother who needs essential medication.” They urged individuals to act ethically. “There is still time to make the right choices before consequences escalate,” they added. “We just want Nancy back home.”
