Some info from Google on the Catalina Foothills:

Catalina Foothills is an affluent, unincorporated community north of Tucson, Arizona, known for its luxury homes, stunning mountain and city views, and low-density, suburban character. It's defined by its geography at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountains, featuring custom architecture, upscale shopping, fine dining, and outdoor recreation like hiking and golf. The area is considered one of Arizona's most desirable residential areas, with a high median household income and a focus on a refined, private lifestyle.

She was last seen at her residence.

Hmmm...they must have found some physical evidence to bring in homicide detectives to scene.

At the very end, a new tidbit. Nancy does have some physical ailments but no known cognitive issues. This isn't looking good.

That cane is pretty unique. I wonder if it was left at the home. And if not, would love to see a better picture put out there. People should keep an eye out for that cane too.

Audio is terrible so I'll do my best. Sounds like call came in at around 12pm. Brought in search and rescue, to include dogs. She's not in good physical health, but is of sound mind (no cognitive issues at all).

Scene gave them some concerns, and sheriff talks about how rare it is that they'd be out there.

Homicide detectives being there is not standard, but it's based on the scene (cryptic).

Last seen around 9:30-945 last night (Saturday).

Last seen around 9:30-945 but I couldn't make out if that was last night or this morning, so that's not helpful.

Family dropped her off at home at around 9:30pm Friday night, and then she's reported missing by noon the next day, that's a fairly quick turnaround. I wonder if she missed an appointment or something.

ETA: Or maybe she had an in-home care provider due to her mobility issues who noticed her absence and the suspicious circumstances at the scene.

 

[NewMommy09]

Her physical health/mobility is reported to be poor, so it's likely that family checks on her frequently to see what she needs. Falls is probably a concern. I noticed her lower arm and wrist were completely bruised in one picture. They could have been calling on a regular schedule and she didn't pick up etc. Just IMO.

Sheriff Nanos handled this press conference so well.

This sounds a bit ominous. LE is processing the house. SAR teams are searching for her which we will probably see escalated today on a larger scale. He mentioned checking hospitals for her a few times which is normal but it also seems like a legitimate thought that she could have ended up in one. Of course, none of this sounds good for an 84 year old woman missing from her home for over 24 hours. Darn. IMO

 

[SleuthyLou]

I saw the news this morning and came here to see if anything had developed. What a scary feeling for a family. I hope they find her safe soon.

Savannah issued a statement on Feb. 2 on behalf of their family.

“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” she said. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom.

“We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at (520) 351-4900.”

IMO this is a measured and careful statement.

Obviously very early in this case but LE is telegraphing an expectation she will not be found in good condition (IMOO).

The Condo's at the top of East Sunrise/Skyline in Tuscon are very nice and would be considered a very safe area. I travel to the building across the street every few months for work. You would not expect random off- the street criminals here. Not that this stops anybody but... IMOO this will turn out to be a housekeeper/handyman who has caused her some harm.

I also would believe that it's very likely she would have had some type of security system. I agree it will probably be someone she knew.
