Nancy Guthrie did what she had done countless nights before: went to bed in the safety of her Arizona home. Sometime in the darkness, that ordinary routine shattered. By noon, deputies found her phone and Apple Watch abandoned, her pacemaker no longer communicating, and no sign of where an 84-year-old woman in need of medication could have gone on her own.
Then came the ransom notes. Typed threats, a demand for millions in Bitcoin, and a chilling hint that something inside her home had been damaged. The sheriff will not say if the notes are real, only that every word is being treated as evidence, every tip funneled straight to detectives and the FBI. No suspects, no clear motive, just a daughter on national television and a community clinging to the hope that somewhere, Nancy is still waiting to be found.
