Nancy Guthrie, TV host Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, now missing 8 weeks. 

Her home, according to police, no longer considered a crime scene, having been returned to the family. 

Nancy Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 p.m. outside her Tucson home. She was reported missing at noon the next day. Police say scenes at her home indicate "she didn't leave on her own."

Nancy Guthrie is 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighs about 150 pounds, and has brown hair and blue eyes.

Workers at the home including home security techs, HVAC and more have been questioned, as the FBI tries to trace any bitcoin movement and track the source of the ransom notes.

Ashley Loring Heavy Runner was last seen in June 2017 on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana.  That night, a video taken and shared online of a party in which Ashley attended.  No one heard from Ashley for days afterward. The family was at first unconcerned, but when Ashley didn't visit her father in the hospital, worry set in.  

A couple of weeks later information came in that a young woman had been spotted running from a vehicle on U.S. Highway 89 on the reservation. Was it Ashley?

Family members searched the area finding a sweater and a pair of boots with red stains, thought to be Ashley's.  Investigators told the family however that Ashley was adult free to come and go as she pleased.   In February 2018, a nearly a year later,  the FBI joined the investigation. By then,   the case was cold.
