She arrived at her daughter Annie's home at 5:32 p.m. She dined there and was dropped off at her own home after dinner at around 9:48 p.m. She was dropped off at home by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni.

Guthrie's pacemaker app showed a disconnect from her phone at 2:28 a.m. On Sunday morning, a friend called Guthrie's family, telling them she had not shown up for church. They notified the sheriff's department around noon that day, minutes after checking in on her. Once police arrived at the home at 12:15 p.m, they determined Nancy Guthrie was missing under "concerning" circumstances.Guthrie has limited mobility and relies on daily medication for her health, officials have said.

She didn't go willingly."A missing person's flier from the sheriff's department described her as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, with brown hair and blue eyes and weighing 150 pounds.
