How it started
Guthrie was last seen on Jan. 31. When she did not show up for a church service with friends on Feb. 1, her family called police. On Feb. 2, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department declared Guthrie missing and opened a criminal investigation.
Notes sent to media
In the early weeks of the investigation, several notes were sent to media outlets. On Feb. 6, PCSD issued a statement: “The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department are aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie. Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity.”
The Guthrie family also responded to a note via social media. Savannah Guthrie posted on Instagram: “We received your message and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way that we can have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
