Missing Person Case: Nancy Guthrie — Facts and English Practice

Police have been investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84, after she was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home on January 31 at about 9:30 p.m. Her family reported her missing on February 1 when she did not appear at church. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has treated the house as a crime scene and detectives say she may have been taken while she slept. DNA samples taken from the home have been matched to her, and investigators have noted signs of forced entry and blood inside the residence. The FBI is providing technical support, and a tipline has been set up; a reward of up to $2,500 is being offered for information that leads to an arrest.

While investigators work, Savannah Guthrie has remained in Arizona and she has asked the public to pray for her mother. Volunteers, search teams and Border Patrol helped with the early search, and neighbors have been asked to review home cameras for any video. Therefore, anyone with images or information is urged to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department or submit a tip anonymously to 88-CRIME. The sheriff said this case is urgent because Mrs. Guthrie needs daily medication and has limited mobility.
