Providing an update on Monday, Feb. 2, the sheriff told reporters that investigators now believe a crime occurred, describing the as more of a “crime scene” than a “search mission.” He added that authorities are asking for the public’s help.
“This is an 84-year-old lady who suffers from some physical ailments, has some physical challenges, is in need of medication — medication that, if she doesn’t have in 24 hours, it could be fatal,” he added.
While she has physical limitations, Nanos emphasized that Nancy is of “sound mind” and did not leave her home voluntarily.
Nanos also shared that investigators believe that Nancy was “taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night.”
“Taken against her will includes possible kidnapping or abduction,” Sheriff Nanos added.
