Nancy Guthrie update: 25 weeks after abduction, Elizabeth Smart says there's 'reason to have hope'

Kidnapping survivor Elizabeth Smart says there’s still a chance Nancy Guthrie can be returned home safely in a new interview 25 weeks after the 84-year-old’s suspected abduction from her home in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, Arizona.

“I want to remind people that there isn’t a body, so there is still reason to have hope that she is alive and that we shouldn’t give up until we find her,” the 38-year-old told E! News in an interview published Friday.

She said she hopes that investigators have more information than is publicly available and that they’re making progress behind the scenes.

More recently, she’s become an amateur bodybuilder and took first place in the novice category in a competition in April.

The FBI and Google have released home security video recorded by her missing Nest doorbell camera that shows a masked intruder on her doorstep that morning.

Authorities have asked anyone with information on the case to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI. Tipsters can remain anonymous by calling 520-88-CRIME, Tucson’s Crime Stoppers affiliate.

“If anyone knows anything or seen anything — or the smallest detail that might seem insignificant can make all the difference — just report it,” Smart told the interviewer.

The combined sum of all rewards from authorities, 88-CRIME and the Guthrie family is over $1.2 million.
