Second Nancy Guthrie letter from captors leaves native information workers ‘alarmed’ as new particulars in regards to the be aware’s contents emerge: Live updates

Nancy Guthrie’s captors could have taken her in pitch-black conditions, according to reports.

The City of Tucson and Pima County code requires outdoor lighting must be shut off between 11pm local time and sunrise the following day, leading to a lack of visibility.

Additionally, footage from the Fox Flight Team showed the floodlights on Nancy’s house appeared to be broken, meaning they may not have been working when she was abducted.

Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that the blood found on the porch at Nancy’s home belongs to her.

‘I think you all know the blood on the porch,’ he told reporters on Thursday.

‘It came back to Nancy, that’s what we know. But there’s still more items that have been submitted.’

Nanos added that they have not identified a suspect in the case.

‘Nobody’s eliminated, but we just really don’t have enough to say this is our suspect,’ he said.

Callella was arrested Thursday for sending a hoax demand for Bitcoin to Nancy’s daughter Annie Guthrie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni.

Officials confirmed Callella had also been charged in a 2023 embezzlement scheme in which 13 Los Angeles County employees allegedly stole over $430,000 in unemployment benefits from the county.

He’s due back in court on in Los Angeles on March 31.

An Arizona news station was left ‘alarmed’ by a second message from Nancy Guthrie’s alleged captors.

Mary Coleman, a reporter for KOLD, told CNN that the message was sent straight to law enforcement.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said that the IP address from the email did not match the first one sent to the station earlier this week.

However, Coleman said ‘it appears the sender used the same type of secure server’ to hide their information.

The station reported: ‘The new note contains information the senders seem to think will prove to investigators they’re the same people who sent the first note.’

Police have investigated a tip about a possible ‘vehicle of interest’ at a convenience store in Tucson, Arizona as part of the search for Nancy Guthrie.

Law enforcement visited a Circle K location o Oracle Road after ‘receiving a tip regarding a vehicle of interest, and our team has provided them access to the store’s surveillance video,’ a spokesperson for the company told The Daily Mail.

‘Our thoughts are with the Guthrie family at this difficult time. We are always willing to assist law enforcement as they investigate active cases, as we are in the continuing search for Nancy Guthrie.’

No details have been given about whether the tip produced anything connected to the investigation.

Authorities have descended on Nancy Guthrie’s home hours after a ‘new message’ was sent to a local news station amid the ongoing search for the 84-year-old.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to X that the FBI was investigating the new message ‘regarding Nancy Guthrie’, but offered no details over the contents of the message.

Soon after the message was acknowledged, News Nation journalist Brian Entin shared footage to X showing investigators had returned to Nancy’s home, saying cops closed down the road and removed media ‘for investigative purposes.’

Police had previously returned to Nancy’s home in Tucson, Arizona on Wednesday to seize evidence, after an initial search on Sunday found evidence of ‘forced entry’, police said.

The sheriff leading the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie has been slammed over his ‘bumbling’ and ‘aloof’ press conference, as time has officially run out on the first ransom deadline.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos took to the podium on Thursday afternoon as the search for Nancy, the mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, entered its fifth day in Arizona.

Nanos made a carefully worded statement about Nancy, but later denied that he was suggesting that she is no longer alive.

Authorities say they are ‘aware’ of a new message in the ongoing search for Nancy Guthrie.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to X that it and the FBI were investigating the new message ‘regarding Nancy Guthrie’, but offered no details over the contents of the message.

The message was reportedly sent to local Tucson-area news outlet KOLD. The outlet previously reported that it was sent a ‘ransom letter’ on Tuesday, as was TMZ. Authorities have not verified the legitimacy of the letters.

Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper disconnected her doorbell camera to test if it would prompt a response from police, NBC Today’s crime expert has suggested.

The 84-year-old, whose daughter is Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her $1 million Tucson, Arizona home last weekend. Authorities think she was taken against her will.

Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected at 1.47am Sunday, which NBC National Law Enforcement & Intelligence Correspondent Tom Winter says is a ‘critical moment’ in her case.

The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance.

Multiple sources close to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department have told the Daily Mail that Sheriff Chris Nanos made a series of missteps that slowed the initial response – including the handling of the crime scene and contradictory messages being issued to the public.

We can now reveal that, according to those insiders, a vital search-and-rescue aircraft was grounded in the initial hours of the investigation when it was needed most.
