Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing for seven days after disappearing from her home near Tucson, Arizona. Authorities have not confirmed that she is being held by abductors and have said there is still no verified proof of life.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, federal authorities earlier arrested a suspect connected to a fraudulent ransom demand related to the case, stressing that the arrest did not resolve the broader investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance.
The FBI and local law enforcement continue to pursue leads and are offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of those responsible.
The investigation remains ongoing.
