- "Is it really for money, or is it for revenge for something?” Nanos said of Nancy's disappearance
“This is somebody who's disappeared from the face of the earth, and now we have a camera that says here's the person who did this,” he told the outlet, referring to the
masked intruder captured on a camera at her home.
Nanos continued, “And that's what makes me say this is a kidnapping. The motivation for it is where we get stuck, right? Is it for money? I mean, we had the one demand where they asked for money. But is it really for money, or is it for revenge for something?”
The sheriff, who has 50 years of experience in law enforcement, revealed that up to 50,000 tips have been received regarding Nancy’s disappearance, per the outlet.
He also previously shared that it could take
"years" to find Nancy.
“Maybe it’s an hour from now,” Nanos said of how long it could take to locate Nancy, per
The New York Times. “Maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now. But we won’t quit. We’re going to find Nancy. We’re going to find this guy.”
His speculation about the motive behind Nancy’s disappearance comes after an FBI spokesperson confirmed to
PEOPLE that a recovered glove “appears to match” the gloves worn by the “armed individual” seen in reviewed
surveillance footage.
“The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video,” said the FBI spokesperson in a statement
Savannah, 54, made an
emotional plea to her mother’s kidnappers in an
Instagram video shared later that day.
"I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is that it's never too late. And you're not lost or alone,” she said. “And it is never too late to do the right thing. And we are here. And we believe. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being."
"It's never too late," Savannah concluded.
Sheriff Nanos says investigators have been at local Walmart locations looking through surveillance video for several days.
