Nancy Guthrie kidnapping case – what we know

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home just outside Tucson, Arizona, on January 31 and was reported missing the next day.

Authorities believe she was kidnapped, and the FBI released surveillance videos of a masked man who was outside Guthrie's front door on the night she vanished.

Drops of her blood were found on the front porch, but authorities haven't publicly revealed much evidence. Since the first days of her disappearance, authorities have expressed concern about Nancy Guthrie's health because she needs vital daily medicine.

Several hundred people are working the Guthrie investigation, and more than 20,000 tips have been received, the Pima County Sheriff's Office has said. The FBI and other agencies are assisting.

The porch camera footage released two weeks ago, which showed a man wearing a backpack and gloves outside Nancy Guthrie's house, gave investigators their first major break. But it has also fueled intense speculation.

The sheriff's department said on Monday that it's aware of differences in the masked person's clothing depicted in various images that were released, namely with and without a backpack.

“There is no date or time stamp associated with these images,” the department said.“Therefore, any suggestion that the photographs were taken on different days is purely speculative.”

No, Annie Guthrie, Nancy's eldest daughter, who saw her last before the disappearance, is not a suspect. The police have searched her residence at least twice in connection with Nancy's kidnapping.

A week ago, Sheriff Chris Nanos said that members of Guthrie's family, including siblings and spouses, are not suspects.
