The Tucson neighbourhood where Nancy Guthrie went missing is known for its picturesque views of the Santa Catalina mountains. Residents are in shock as police investigate her reported abduction. The streets lined with gigantic Saguaro cacti now host throngs of journalists and investigators. Neighbour Susan Crosson, who doesn't know the family but lives nearby, expressed disbelief saying, This just doesn't happen here... We're locking our doors.

A security presence has been established at the Guthrie residence to manage the influx of media and concerned locals. Neighbour Laura Gargano, an association board member, confirmed that some residents are enhancing security measures since the disappearance of the 84-year-old woman. Gondar, the security guard, stands at the house, protecting it from crowds.

Police believe that Nancy was forcibly taken from her home early on February 1st, with signs of forced entry and blood found, confirmed to belong to her. As law enforcement continues their investigation, ransom notes requesting cryptocurrency have surfaced, prompting heightened media scrutiny. Local churches, including St Philip’s in the Hills, held vigils in support of Nancy, with residents rallying together, stating: Dear Guthrie Family, your neighbors stand with you. The community is both alarmed and united as they await more information about Nancy's fate.
