Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos Provides Details on Nancy Guthrie's Case
Chris Nanos said Nancy Guthrie 'did not leave on her own' from her house.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was emotional as he spoke out about Nancy's case on Monday evening.
"Do you believe you are still looking for Nancy Guthrie alive at this point?" a reporter questioned. "That she could be held somewhere? And if so, do you believe that is local in the Tucson area, or that she's been taken somewhere?"
Nanos struggled to respond, noting they are "just not going to give up hope."
He also revealed how Nancy disappeared remains unclear, but investigators think they are "looking at a possible kidnapping or abduction."
"She did not leave on her own, we know that," he added. "She’s very limited in her mobility."
Nanos also revealed a $2,500 award is being offered for anyone who can help provide information that will lead to an arrest in Nancy's disappearance. Although DNA tests have been performed, results from those will take days to come in.
Additionally, Nanos shared that the notion of this being a "targeted" incident has yet to be ruled out, but there is no evidence to support that conclusion.
"Nothing that we see is leading us that way, but we’ll never dismiss anything. We’ll continue to look at everything, and we’ll just keep moving forward with it," he claimed.
