"Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos later assessed that Nancy had been kidnapped, with the Los Angeles Times reporting that investigators had found blood and signs of forced entry at her home, and that her wallet, cellphone, and car were still inside the property. The sheriff stated that he was not aware of any previous threats to Nancy, and confirmed she has no cognitive problems and is "very alert" and of "very sound mind," but struggles with mobility and does take a medication that puts her at risk if she does not have it every day."

"Just two days after her disappearance, on Feb. 3, celebrity gossip outlet TMZ reported that it had received an alleged ransom note "demanding payment for the release of Nancy Guthrie," with the publication stating that the note "demands a specific substantial amount of Bitcoin... The amount is in the millions, and the note demands the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address.""

"Addressing the ransom note, she said: "We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk, however, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated; we need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen.""

""Please reach out to us, mommy. If you are hearing this, you are a strong woman,"
