Nancy Guthrie’s Health Condition Revealed, Medication Needs for Survival
As the search for Nancy continues, authorities emphasized that she needs to take daily medication for her survival, which she is likely without.
“This is an 84-year-old lady who suffers from some physical ailments, has some physical challenges, is in need of medication,” Nanos shared at the Feb. 2 press conference, “medication that if she doesn’t have in 24 hours, it could be fatal.”
“So, we make a plea to anyone who knows anything about this, who has seen something, heard something, to contact us,” he continued. “Call 911. We don’t need another bad, tragic ending. We need some help.”
While Nancy’s physical health has been limited for some time, Nanos emphasized that her cognitive abilities are quite strong.
“Nancy Guthrie is of a great sound mind,” Nanos explained. “This is not dementia-related. She is as sharp as a tack. The family wants everybody to know this isn’t somebody who just wandered off. Her physical limits are based on just age.”
As the investigation into Nancy’s disappearance continues, Nanos shared his hopes for Nancy’s safe return.
“I hope we find her safe and sound,” he emphasized, “but we cannot ignore what’s in front of us.”
