In the quiet hills of the Catalina Foothills, the search for Nancy Guthrie has become both a logistical operation and a profoundly human vigil.
Deputies, volunteers, and specialized units sweep the rugged terrain, while helicopters trace slow

waiting for the update everyone is desperate to hear: that Nancy has been found, alive, and brought safely home.
