Mystery Deepens as Police Probe ‘Suspicious Signs’ Outside Nancy Guthrie’s Home Amid Search

Strange yellow signs bearing the names “Guthrie,” “Carol Shimek,” “Yavapai Sheriff’s Department,” and “Lemons-Rhodes State Fire Connolly,” along with a handwritten license plate number appeared near Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Arizona, prompting authorities to launch an investigation.

While the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has not revealed where the signs originated, their possible connection to the case is raising questions.

YouTube streamer Dad’s Gone Live shared a video on March 22, writing, “Suspicious signs in neighborhood on Day 50.” The streamer recorded Pima County detectives removing one of the signs and taking it as evidence.

“One of the names on the sign is actually from a woman who was murdered not too long ago in the general area,” the streamer said.

The streamer, Jacob, reportedly found the signs first and alerted authorities. "You finding that sign gave me chills Jacob... great job reporting it," one person commented. "How great would it be if a streamer broke the case after all the nasty comments about streamers causing chaos by being at Nancy's in the news piece," wrote another.

The video prompted several reactions from people on social media. “Was no one around to see who put the signs up??” asked Facebook user Susie Everetts. “Possibly someone’s way of getting LE’s attention to a ‘theory’ they have???” wrote Debbie Veccia Peskar.

“Interesting. I wonder if the person likes drama and wants to keep things jumping,” added Renee Griffith.

Some viewers also criticized how the evidence was handled. “Maybe he shouldn’t wipe his nose, twice, with his gloves,” Francine Warner Reisman said. “The bag ain't big enough and one officer wipes his nose on his glove,” Lisa Tanzi said.

Nancy Guthrie has been reported missing from her Catalina Foothills home since February 1, after returning home from a family dinner.

The Guthrie family issued a statement on March 22, expressing gratitude for the continued support from the Tucson community.

“We are all family now,” they said.

The family believes Tucsonans and the greater Southern Arizona community may hold the key to solving the case. “Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant,” the statement read.

They asked people to revisit their memories and records from key dates, including January 31, the early hours of February 1, and the evening of January 11.

“We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key,” the statement said.

Despite ongoing efforts by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local authorities in Tucson, the 84-year-old remains missing, with no proof of life.
