On Wednesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that Nancy’s son-in-law Tommaso Cioni dropped her off at around 9:45 pm.

He waited to make sure that she got inside OK, as she suffers from physical ailments which makes walking difficult, Nanos said.

Nancy had been spending the evening with her daughter Annie Guthrie’s family for dinner, and the group had a normal night.

But the following morning, the family was horrified when they got a call from a parishioner at Nancy’s church who said she never showed up for service.
