Besides, during a press conference on February 3, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared that they have “no clue” about Nancy’s whereabouts, as well as whether one or more people were involved in the disappearance and possible kidnapping of her.

Investigators say Nancy Guthrie was taken away 'in middle of the night'

Regarding any threat to the local community, Nanos added, “Is there somebody out there kidnapping elderly people in the middle of the night every night? We’ve not heard that.”

However, during the February 2 press conference, the Sheriff said that Nancy was “taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night.”

He also noted that “she didn’t just walk out of there,” before adding, “This is an 84-year-old lady who suffers from some physical ailments, has some physical challenges, is in need of medication — medication that, if she doesn't have in 24 hours, it could be fatal.”

“Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment. We need you. ‘He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.’ A verse of Isaiah for all time for all of us. Bring her home,” Savannah added.
