Authorities are asking the public to look for a male, approximately 5’9″ to 5’10” with an average build. Key identifiers include:
- Distinctive Gear: A black, 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack. Investigators are specifically tracking sales of this Walmart-exclusive brand in the Tucson area.
- Attire: The suspect was seen in dark clothing, gloves, and a mask during the time of the disappearance.
Critical Timeline and Forensic Leads
The investigation into the February 1 disappearance has shifted focus toward several high-priority leads:
- Forensic Evidence: Two black gloves were recovered in the Catalina Foothills, just 1.5 miles from Nancy’s residence. They are currently undergoing expedited DNA testing.
- The Disappearance Window: Security footage shows the suspect tampering with cameras at 1:47 a.m. Just 41 minutes later, at 2:28 a.m., Nancy’s pacemaker app lost its connection, signaling the likely moment of her abduction.
