What to know

  • Investigators are advancing DNA analysis efforts in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance case by meeting with Florida lab scientists, nearly nine months after she vanished from her Tucson home.
  • Authorities believe the 84-year-old was kidnapped; blood evidence and video of a masked suspect were found at her home on January 31.
  • Previous forensic leads, including hair evidence, have not yielded suspect matches; the case remains open with public tips encouraged.

“And there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched - to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye - a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves.”
