Officials believe the timing matters because it appears she was moved beyond the device’s wireless range at that point. That break in connectivity is now a key piece of the timeline.

Family members say Nancy was dropped off at home late Saturday night after dining with her daughter, Annie. She failed to appear at church the next morning, which led relatives to call 911.

Crime scene status and physical evidence found at the home
Pima County authorities have treated Nancy’s residence as a scene of suspicious activity. Officials say officers found evidence suggesting forced entry and traces of blood inside the home.
A department spokesperson told reporters that investigators suspect Nancy was taken from the house against her will, possibly in the middle of the night. Possible kidnapping or abduction remains under investigation.

Savannah Guthrie, the Today show co-anchor, has been working closely with family members through the unfolding probe. Sources describe the siblings as supportive of one another and cooperative with authorities.
