Authorities are currently investigating the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who was kidnapped from her home in Arizona on January 31, 2026.

當局目前正在調查 84 歲的 Nancy Guthrie 失蹤事件，她於 2026 年 1 月 31 日在亞利桑那州的家中被綁架。

The investigation is focused on several ransom notes, although experts disagree on whether they are real. The Guthrie family received two main messages; the first included specific details about the victim's home and clothing, while the second contained an apology and claimed that the victim had died. Criminal profiler John Kelly asserted that the different tones of these notes—moving from a demand for money to an expression of sadness—suggest that they might be fake. However, former FBI agent Jennifer Coffindaffer emphasized a different theory, suggesting there could be two kidnappers: one who took the victim and another who manages the communication, which would explain the change in writing style.

調查重點在於幾封贖金信，儘管專家對於這些信件是否真實持有分歧。Guthrie 家人收到了兩則主要訊息；第一則包含了關於受害者家中與衣著的詳細資訊，而第二則則包含道歉並聲稱受害者已經死亡。犯罪剖析師 John Kelly 主張這些信件的語調截然不同——從要求金錢轉向表達悲傷——這表明它們可能是偽造的。然而，前 FBI 探員 Jennifer Coffindaffer 強調了不同的理論，認為可能存在兩名綁架者：一名負責擄走受害者，另一名負責處理溝通，這將能解釋寫作風格的改變。

Meanwhile, TMZ reported that an anonymous person claims to have a phone with video evidence of the victim and the suspect. This person has asked for payment in Bitcoin, between $60,000 and $100,000, even though the family and Crime Stoppers have offered a reward of over $1.2 million. Retired FBI agent Jim Clemente questioned this request, noting that a real informant would logically ask for the larger reward. Furthermore, some people on social media have tried to link the writing style of the ransom notes to the books written by Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni. Consequently, the Pima County Sheriff's Department has explicitly stated that no family members are suspects in the case.

與此同時，TMZ 報導一名匿名人士聲稱擁有一部包含受害者與嫌疑人影片證據的手機。儘管家人與 Crime Stoppers 已提供超過 120 萬美元的獎金，但該人士仍要求以比特幣支付 6 萬至 10 萬美元。退休 FBI 探員 Jim Clemente 對此要求提出質疑，指出真正的線人理應會要求更高金額的獎金。此外，社交媒體上有些人試圖將贖金信的寫作風格與 Annie Guthrie 及 Tommaso Cioni 撰寫的書籍聯繫起來。因此，皮馬縣警長部門已明確表示，沒有任何家庭成員是本案的嫌疑人。

The case remains open, and law enforcement continues to treat the disappearance as a kidnapping, despite the conflicting expert opinions regarding the ransom demands.

此案目前仍未破獲，儘管專家對於贖金要求持有分歧意見，執法部門仍將此次失蹤事件視為綁架案。
