Nancy Guthrie Remains Missing Months After Disappearance as Family Continues to Wait for Answers

TUCSON, Ariz. — Nancy Guthrie remains missing months after authorities believe she was abducted from her Tucson home, leaving her family facing a painful wait for answers.

Guthrie, who was born January 27, 1942, is 84 years old. The FBI continues to list her as a missing person and is offering a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to her recovery or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Yet authorities have not publicly identified that person as a suspect.

The FBI says Guthrie is considered a vulnerable adult. She has difficulty walking, has a pacemaker and requires daily medication for a heart condition.

Those circumstances have added urgency to the search.

But months into the investigation, the central question remains unanswered:

Where is Nancy Guthrie?

Ransom Messages Added to the Mystery

The investigation has also involved several messages claiming to be connected to a kidnapping.

Authorities eventually determined that three kidnapping-related c
