"The sheriff of Pima county, Chris Nanos, said during a press conference authorities do not yet have a suspect in the apparent kidnapping. But they believe Nancy Guthrie is still out there and their protocol in such a situation is to assume she is alive until there is any information otherwise and we're going to continue thinking that way until we find her, Nanos said."
"The FBI has become involved and the special agent in charge of the investigation, Heith Janke, announced a $50,000 reward for vital information and also said that a ransom note that is being investigated gave an initial deadline of 5pm local time on Thursday for a response. Nanos confirmed that blood found near the front door of Nancy Guthrie's house, just north of Tucson, has tested positive for her DNA. Additionally, at 2.28am on Sunday, Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker disconnected from her personal device, Nanos said."
"Her doorbell camera had also been removed, but software detected a presence, although without images it was not possible to know at this point if the movement was a person or an animal, Nanos said. The sheriff added that he is certainly fearful of a worst-case scenario where Nancy Guthrie is no longer alive, saying: I think we all are especially without the medication that she needs every day."
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing after apparently disappearing overnight and her absence was discovered late Sunday morning. Blood matching her DNA was found near the front door of her house just north of Tucson. A ransom note with an initial deadline is under investigation and the FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for vital information. Her doorbell camera was removed and her pacemaker disconnected at 2:28am on Sunday. Authorities believe she was taken against her will, have no suspect, and are treating her as alive while continuing the search due to medication concerns.
