The Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared a major update in the investigation surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
“At the request of the Guthrie family, PCSD will maintain a presence at Nancy Guthrie’s residence for security,” the department shared via Twitter on Sunday, February 8. “Media & the public are reminded to follow all traffic & private property laws. No trespassing is allowed on the Guthrie property. Violations are subject to enforcement.”
The update comes as the search for the 84-year-old enters its second week with a ransom deadline looming.
Sheriff Presence at Guthrie’s Home
Moments before the Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared its latest update, reports began circulating on Twitter as two marked vehicles appeared to be parked in Guthrie’s driveway.
According to the department, the security move comes at the request of Nancy Guthrie’s family.
Guthrie’s Tucson, Arizona, home has been swarmed with reporters and independent journalists alike for more than a week. After detectives’ initial search for evidence, a video began circulating online showing what appeared to be blood drops on the front porch of Guthrie’s home.
Sheriff Chris Nanos later revealed during a Thursday, February 5, press conference that DNA results determined the blood belonged to the 84-year-old victim.
Guthrie Family Has Not Given Up Hope
Nancy Guthrie’s children, “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, daughter Annie Guthrie, and son Camron Guthrie, have made numerous pleas to their mother’s alleged captors to “bring her home.”
“We received your message. And we understand,” Savannah said in a video plea shared to Instagram on Saturday, February 7. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
Guthrie’s plea was addressed to their mother’s alleged kidnappers after ransom notes were received by multiple news outlets.
According to TMZ’s Harvey Levin, who was the first to report receiving such a letter, the abductors included two deadlines in their demands. The first, which was Thursday, February 5, at 5 p.m., has passed. However, Levin told
“So, the deadline that just passed had to do with the demand,” Levin told CNN on Thursday. “The Monday deadline has more to do with consequences, and Anderson, that’s … about as much as I can say. I think everybody kind of knows the way this plays out when people write ransom notes.”
The second deadline has been reported as Monday, February 9, at 5 p.m. local time.
