TUCSON, Ariz. — As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, investigators appear to be focusing on specific periods leading up to the 84-year-old’s mysterious disappearance from her residence.
A neighbor of Guthrie shared with Fox News’ Sarah Alegre that investigators personally visited her, seeking video recordings from January 31.
The neighbor further mentioned receiving a Ring app notification indicating that authorities were also interested in surveillance footage from January 11 between 9 p.m. and midnight, as well as from January 31 between “9:30-11,” though it was unclear whether this was a.m. or p.m. The notification also alluded to a “suspicious vehicle on Via Entrada around 10 a.m. on January 31.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department clarified to Fox News that the Ring alert was not issued by them but was instead sent by a local resident who provided links to the department’s evidence submission portal.
Ex-FBI agent John Nantz explained that when law enforcement hones in on particular dates and a concise 90-minute timeframe, it often indicates an attempt to verify known activities and piece together a potential path.

When asked whether specifying times points to timeline validation or tracking a vehicle’s movements, Nantz said, “They’re likely piecing together a route.”
Nantz added that targeted canvassing often follows the recovery of key surveillance footage, such as Ring video, as investigators seek to fill gaps and alert residents who may not realize they possess relevant evidence.
“It’s likely they’re canvassing since the Ring footage was recovered in case individuals may now realize they might be in possession of valuable evidence,” he said.

Guthrie’s family members say she was dropped off at home between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 31. Her garage door closed at 9:50 p.m., according to authorities.
At 1:47 a.m. Sunday, Feb. 1, authorities say, the doorbell camera at Guthrie’s home disconnected, followed by a security camera detecting motion at 2:12 a.m. Her pacemaker disconnected from an application on her phone at 2:28 a.m.

Family members checked on Guthrie at 11:56 a.m. after she reportedly did not attend a weekly gathering where she normally watched a livestreamed church service.
Authorities were called and arrived at her home shortly thereafter.
