FBI and Police Search for Clues in Missing 84-Year-Old Woman's Backyard
In a bizarre turn of events, investigators probing the disappearance of an 84-year-old woman have turned their attention to her backyard, where they've removed several key pieces of evidence. According to sources close to the case, authorities took down a broken floodlight from Nancy Guthrie's back door as part of their ongoing search for clues.
The move comes after a possible ransom note sent to a news outlet mentioned a "floodlight" - sparking suspicion that it might be connected to her disappearance. The FBI Phoenix Special Agent had previously hinted at this, stating that the investigation is still on-going and would provide more details once they've analyzed all available evidence.
Earlier in the week, police confiscated a blue Subaru SUV believed to belong to Guthrie from her residence and a wired camera from the roof of her house. However, it remains unclear why authorities removed these items from her home.
The 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie was reported missing on February 1 after she missed church service. The last known person to see her was her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, who dropped her off at her home on January 31. Police have since treated her home as a crime scene and believe she may have been taken from it against her will while she was sleeping.
The case has gained significant attention in the media, with police seeking any video available from nearby residences or businesses to aid their investigation. The FBI is working closely with local law enforcement to uncover more information about Guthrie's disappearance.
