A Family’s Plea
Nancy Guthrie suffers from significant mobility issues and requires daily heart medication. Savannah Guthrie has made several public appeals, emphasizing that her mother’s life depends on her access to medicine.
“She needs [her medicine] to survive. She needs it not to suffer,” Savannah shared in an emotional statement.
How the Public Can Assist
The FBI has authorized a $50,000 reward for information. Residents in the Catalina Foothills area—specifically near North Campbell Avenue and Skyline Drive—are urged to review any security or dashcam footage from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM on Sunday, February 1.
