Guthrie family thanks Tucson, asks people to not forget mother’s case
Guthrie Family Extends Gratitude to Tucson, Urges Continued Support in Search for Missing Mother
The Guthrie family issued a heartfelt message on Saturday evening, thanking the residents of Tucson for their unwavering support in the search for Nancy Guthrie, who vanished seven weeks ago. They emphasized that the community’s assistance has been vital, stating, “We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now.”
Appeal for Community Assistance
Neighbors were urged to review surveillance footage and revisit their recollections for any clues about Nancy’s disappearance. The family highlighted specific dates—January 11, February 1, and January 31—as critical to the investigation. “No detail is too small,” they said, “it may be the key.”
“We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life, but we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place or rest,” Savannah Guthrie wrote on Instagram early Sunday. Her post echoed the family’s plea for information, emphasizing that someone in Southern Arizona might hold significant insights without realizing it.
Timeline and Evidence Details
Nancy, 84, was last seen on January 31 at approximately 9:45 p.m. before being reported missing the following day, February 1. Investigators have focused on Jan. 11, requesting security camera footage from that morning, though the reason remains undisclosed. A masked man was identified in doorbell surveillance, and blood evidence on the porch suggests a targeted crime, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
Financial Incentives and Emotional Appeal
The family has offered a $1 million reward for Nancy’s safe return, alongside an FBI-assisted $50,000 bounty. They also shared a personal note: “Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.” “We miss our mom with every breath and cannot find peace until she is home,” they added. “We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder.”
Residents have shown solidarity by leaving flowers and encouraging notes at Nancy’s residence. The search for her remains a top priority, with the Guthrie family steadfast in their determination to uncover her whereabouts. Phil Helsel, a reporter for NBC News, covered the updates.
