Nancy Guthrie update: Kidnapped woman's tablet sold? Viral claim sparks hope for break in case after seven months
Netizens hoped there might be a break in the Nancy Guthrie case when a woman claimed she'd bought a tablet belonging to the kidnapped octogenarian.
Seven months after Nancy Guthrie went missing, a viral video has sparked hope for a breakthrough in the case. The video, shared by a YouTuber, claims a woman bought a tablet belonging to the kidnapped octogenarian for just $10. According to the woman, she purchased the device from a "smelly man" in the Speedway Boulevard area of Tucson, Arizona.
However, once she connected her tablet to WiFi, police allegedly rushed to the scene, seizing the tablet, her backpack, and all personal belongings, including her wallet. While there has been no official confirmation, many have taken this as a potential "break" in the case. The Pima County Sheriff's Department has clarified that there was no mention of a stolen iPad in their investigation, though they only referred to an iPad, not a tablet.
The identity of the seller remains unknown, and while the tablet may belong to Nancy Guthrie, it's unclear if the individual who sold it directly took her from her home.
