As the investigation progressed, officials confirmed that evidence from the home suggested Nancy did not leave voluntarily. Law enforcement announced the case is now being treated as a criminal investigation rather than a search-and-rescue effort. While specific details have not been released, authorities say all tips are being actively reviewed, with federal agencies assisting in analyzing video and communication data. A reward has also been offered for information that could help move the case forward.
Nancy’s family has publicly appealed for support and information. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, traveled to Arizona to be with relatives and shared a message asking for prayers and hope for her mother’s safe return. Authorities say there is no indication of a threat to the broader community, but urge anyone who noticed unusual activity to contact investigators as the search for answers continues.
