Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker lost connection with Apple devices still located in her home at around 2 a.m. on Sunday, Fox News reported.
The devices included an Apple Watch still on a charger, the outlet reported.
When asked about the pacemaker on Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters, “I really don’t want to get into narrowing down the time because narrowing it down means we could miss some tips and leads.”
He said officials “are working to see if tha

She was dropped off at her house by family on Saturday night, Nanos said at a news conference on Monday. He said the next day, someone from Nancy’s church called the family to notify them that Nancy did not attend service. The family spent some time searching for Nancy, then contacted law enforcement, Nanos said.
Why It Matters
Nanos said on Monday that officials “saw some things at the home that were concerning to us.”
“We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime scene, that we do in fact have a crime, and we’re asking the community’s help,” Nanos said.
The sheriff also said there were things at the crime scene that indicated Nancy “did not leave on her own.”
Nancy requires daily medication, and it could be fatal if she did not have the medication every 24 hours, Nanos said.

At a news conference on Tuesday, Nanos said officials finished looking through Nancy’s home and have turned it over to family.
DNA samples were gathered and submitted for analysis as part of the investigation. “We’ve gotten some back, but nothing to indicate any suspects,” Nanos said.
The sheriff declined to say whether Nancy’s disappearance was thought to be random or targeted.
When Nanos was asked whether officials were looking for her alive, Nanos said, “We hope we are.”
