“If this is real, they’re on the clock, and that clock is ticking short, so anything that they can do has to be done and has to be done now,” Schirard said, pointing to investigators returning to Nancy's home as well as searching her daughter Annie Guthrie's home nearby.
On Saturday, Feb. 7, Savannah, Annie, and their brother, Camron Guthrie, released another chilling video in an attempt to communicate with Nancy's captor. In it, Savannah vowed, "We will pay."

“I think we still have no valid two-way communication with this possible hostage taker and the author of these ransom notes,” Schirard speculated. “The family putting out these messages has been the only way that they’ve tried to communicate back in order to establish some form of authenticity, so that they can get a proof of life and know that Nancy is still OK.”
Additionally, Schirard pointed out that “both sides are probably getting a little desperate” to establish communication.
He explained, “When we look historically, we generally don’t see deadlines that are this far out when we’re talking about dealing with hostage takers."

On Feb. 1, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) began its search for Nancy, who was last seen on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 31, at her home. The PCSD declared her Tucson residence a crime scene, determining that she had been “taken” from her residence “against her will.” Law enforcement also confirmed that the blood discovered at Nancy’s home belonged to her.
Investigators have since returned to Savannah’s mom’s home several times, including with K9 units. Nancy has still not been found following the surfacing of multiple alleged ransom notes and her family sending several public video messages to the captors.
A video of a vehicle of interest was also submitted to law enforcement, in addition to agents finding a camera on the roof of Nancy’s home. The FBI also made a strategic move across several states as the search continues.
Those with any information about Nancy’s missing case are advised to contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.
