80 days have passed since Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman, went missing from her home near Tucson, Arizona.
Since police have yet to produce any suspects in her disappearance, it appears that private citizens are taking matters into their own hands.
In this regard, Charis “Pebbles” Wilson, a freelance journalist, started a petition calling on Sheriff Chris Nanos to allow help from the United Cajun Navy, a volunteer rescue group, and demanded their 41-page resolution.
Wilson’s efforts came as she herself was suffering from similar pain.
“I lost my frail grandmother a few years ago, and Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance tore my heart apart,” she tells Fox.
With the number of signatures on her petition exceeding 600, Wilson says, “To know that someone took advantage of a lovely woman, an elderly woman like her, is really disturbing.”
On the other hand, the Cajun Navy is ready to support the investigation to find Guthrie, whose proposal, shared a few days after Guthrie’s disappearance, would be under the Sheriff’s Office to search for Savannah’s mother.
Josh Gill, who is the group’s incident commander, tells Fox, “We want permission from the lead agency. I don’t think there will be any harm; I think it will be one step closer to getting some degree of closure, not only to the family or the community, but to the nation.”
However, the catch here is that the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (PCSD) has not yet given the green light to the Cajun Navy to be a part of the search and their 41 page proposal.
With a massive $1 million reward in hand, Guthrie has yet to be found, and his mystery deepens.
