I want to go out front now, as promised to the Pima county sheriff, Chris Anderson.

Sheriff, I appreciate your time very much, and

it's just shocked and saddened to be speaking to you about this.

I know you say that Nancy Guthrie has been abducted.

This is an elderly woman in her mid-80s who suffers some ailments that makes her mobility, her ability to walk around very difficult.

The family told us she couldn't go 50 yards, and that in and of itself, is a concern.

But then we also have some things at that scene that indicate to us that she was removed from that scene against her will.

It's not that I'm trying to be secretive.

they all want to help, and we appreciate it so much.

To protect that integrity and continue working with our investigative leads.

But you are confident, Sheriff, just to be clear, that it was an abduction?

You know, I've been doing this for 50 years.

But, you know, it came to me that yesterday, in the early afternoon that she was abducted.

we knew that we had this middle age, this mid-80s woman missing from our home.

And so we have our search and rescue team out there who does great work all the time, and

But something that they told me about that scene made me believe that there's more than just.

So we wanted to continue with that search and rescue mission.

We today, we still hope she's alive, and we.

We continue with those missions of search and rescue.

You just can't ignore what you're seeing at a scene and put that off.

And so we also initiated our homicide, our criminal investigation team out there to start their investigation.

And so when you say it's your gut on things at the scene, is there anything you can share that led you to that gut without sharing too much about the scene, as I know you're unable to do?

You know, we have people in the field right now doing some things with, of course, canvassing the neighborhood.

Our search teams are Backing out are back out there just to make sure we didn't miss some areas.

But what we also know is there's some evidence that we're trying to retrieve.

And whether it's from cameras or digital evidence from cell phones, those.

That technology that's so critical to us, our LPRs, our license plate readers, all of that, we think that once we get those things downloaded to us and have a look at them, we'll be in a better position.

So I know you would ask people for ring cameras or any other kind of information.

I mean, have you been able to look at any of that to see.

Whether she was taken in a car or truck or a van?

Or are you able to ascertain any of that from video footage that you have at this point, or is that still unknown?

We're getting a lot of leads and a lot of that information is coming in.

And we are looking at some cameras, but there's nothing specific to us.

Our priority right now is the home had some cameras that we need help in the download of.

They're not cloud based, they're maybe on a server somewhere.

But you know, I'll be honest, we've been getting great help from not just our law enforcement partners, the FBI, the local law enforcement agencies, and

even private businesses, Google, Apple, name them, they've all been offering up assistance and help and we greatly appreciate it.

This is a case to this community because it's not often that.

Never really that we see somebody in the middle of the night, in their safe home environment, in bed, all of a sudden disappear.

I don't know if I Just making sure I heard you correctly, you said when you first found out about this, you didn't know who she was.

And I think the first thing people wonder is, well, was this a kidnapping for ransom?

Do you think this is a kidnapping for ransom?

I mean, any kind of ransom note or anything that would indicate that or at this point, do you not know if that's the case?

We've been working with Ms. Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's security team, and researching any.

But no, we're not hearing anything like that.

We'll never rule it out, but no, we're not.

I guess again, I know a lot of this is your gut at this point, so I know you'll know what you know when you know it.

But, I mean, do you think this could have been random?

You know, like I say, I go with gut instinct sometimes, and sometimes I'm wrong.

So we just gotta be careful and follow our protocols, our procedures, and

just kind of systematically work our way through this.

You and the media has been tremendous help in getting us leads that we're able to chase down and work on.

And this community has always supported us.

When we come out and ask for help, they're right there.

Ms. Guthrie, Savannah is a member of this community, even though she may not live here.

She's a strong part of our family, if you will.

Sheriff, do you believe that Nancy was hurt when she was taken?

I mean, I know it was against her will, so.
