Blood found at Savannah Guthrie's mother's Arizona home as search for missing elderly woman intensifies.
A small amount of dried blood was spotted outside the front door of Nancy Guthrie's Tucson, Arizona, home on Tuesday. The discovery has raised new questions in the investigation into her disappearance, which is now being treated as a crime.
Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on Saturday night but did not appear for church the next morning, prompting an alert to be issued. Authorities believe she may have been abducted from her home over the weekend, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stating that investigators are looking into the possibility of a security camera being stolen.
As part of the investigation, a ransom note was received by a local news station, which contained specific details about Guthrie's home and what she was wearing on the night of her disappearance. The authenticity of the note has not been confirmed. The sheriff's department has urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that any tip could potentially lead to a breakthrough in the case.
Guthrie's family has asked residents near her home to review their security footage from over the weekend, particularly between 1 am and 4 am on Sunday. Sheriff Nanos stressed that even small details could be crucial in solving the case, advising anyone with information to contact authorities immediately.
The FBI is also assisting in the investigation, with officials stating that they are working tirelessly to find any leads that may help locate Guthrie. Jon Edwards, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Tucson office, renewed a call for people to come forward if they saw anything suspicious on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
Guthrie's family has been keeping her disappearance under close scrutiny, with Savannah Guthrie asking her followers to pray for her mother on social media. An official reward is now being offered by an Arizona-based non-profit program, which will provide up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of those involved in her disappearance.
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance continues, with authorities working around the clock to uncover any new evidence that may lead to her safe return.

this is so sad, my heart goes out to Savannah and her family... i mean, i dont no what happened but lets focus on finding nancy ASAP 
the fact that they found blood outside her front door is super scary... maybe someone should review all those security cameras in her neighborhood? 
even if it's just a small detail, its worth looking into... let's keep our fingers crossed for a breakthrough in this case 
. It's probably just a tiny little smudge from a gardening accident or something, but why didn't anyone think of that? The whole investigation is getting all worked up over nothing, if you ask me. Maybe she just decided to take a midnight stroll and got her blood on the doorstep by mistake... it's not like this is some elaborate kidnapping plot 
. And honestly, I'm not buying the ransom note thing either - sounds fishy to me.
my heart is breakin' thinkin about savannahs mom bein all alone at home no one showed up for church on sunday mornin and a ransom note came in thats just scary 
we gotta stay hopeful and pray for savannahs mom's safe return 
On the other hand, I'm glad the FBI is involved and they're working hard to find any leads. Fingers crossed that someone comes forward with some info soon... this is just too much for her family to deal with 
... I remember when news broke like this it was on radio and TV, not online. It's crazy how technology has changed everything. But seriously, this is a terrible situation for the Guthrie family 
. I hope someone comes forward with some info soon. And can we please get back to basic investigative work like good ol' fashioned foot patrols and door-to-door talkin'? This ransom note business is sketchy, imo 
.
this is soooo scary. I'm thinking about Savannah Guthrie's mom and hoping she gets found ASAP 
. I mean can you even imagine if someone just took your mom from your home? it's like something out of a thriller movie - Taken, maybe? 
Anyway, the fact that they're looking into a security camera being stolen is giving me chills 
. Like, what if the bad guys are still in the area? I'm totally sending good vibes to her family and the authorities 
Meanwhile, the family's all about getting that security footage from everyone in the neighborhood, kinda like they're trying to guilt trip everyone into helping. And because we clearly haven't got enough to worry about with missing persons cases already, the FBI is on it too... I hope they can crack this one before it gets too cold...
