Property website realtor.com estimates the value of the Tucson home at $1,097,449, while Zillow places its value at $1,011,400. Records show the property was last sold in 1975 for $85,000. County documents list a mortgage executed that year by Nancy Guthrie and her husband.

Nancy was last seen at her home near Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday, 31 January. Her disappearance has drawn national attention and is now in its ninth day.

At a news conference on Monday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators believed the site was a crime scene. "We do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime," he said. The sheriff also said there were indications that Nancy "did not leave on her own". He added that she requires daily medication, warning that it could be fatal if she did not receive it every 24 hours.


According to a blog post written by Savannah Guthrie for Guideposts, Nancy Guthrie stayed home to raise her children while her husband worked as a mining engineer. Savannah Guthrie said she grew up in Tucson and that her father died of a heart attack when she was 16.

She wrote that her mother later took a job in public affairs at the University of Arizona, adding that the position "made tuition more affordable for my sister and me".

In the latest development, Savannah Guthrie released a new video appeal on Instagram, urging the public to come forward with any information.

"We believe our mom is still out there," she said. "We need your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly around the clock trying to bring her home, trying to find her. She was taken, and we don't know where."


She added: "We are at an hour of desperation and we need your help." Her appeal comes as a final ransom deadline from alleged kidnappers approaches. One ransom note warned that missing a Monday 7 p.m. ET deadline would be "far more consequential" than a previous deadline that had already passed.

Investigators have said they found blood and signs of forced entry at the home. A front door camera is missing, while another device recorded motion at about 2 a.m. on Sunday, 1 February. At roughly the same time, Guthrie's pacemaker last pinged her phone, authorities said.

Several ransom demands have been issued since her disappearance. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings made a direct plea to possible captors over the weekend, saying they were prepared to pay.

No suspects have been identified. The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie's recovery.
