Now, it is getting more criticism after a social media post confused many people and made them think the 84-year-old had been found.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The post that caused confusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Late Thursday, the department posted a short update that said: \u201cUpdate: Nancy has been located.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People who were following the search for Nancy Guthrie, the mother of \u201cToday\u201d show co-host Savannah Guthrie thought she had finally been found. But that was not the case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post was actually about Nancy Radakovich, an 82-year-old woman who looks very similar to Guthrie. The confusion happened because the post did not include her last name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It became even more unclear because the image used had a big \u201cLOCATED\u201d stamp across it which makes it hard to tell who it was at first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Update: Nancy has been located. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/bS6yuRL1J3\">https:\/\/t.co\/bS6yuRL1J3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pVX7Xz5ekK\">pic.twitter.com\/pVX7Xz5ekK<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Pima County Sheriff&#39;s Department (@PimaSheriff) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PimaSheriff\/status\/2044971697305276721?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 17, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public reaction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The post flooded social media with angry and stunned responses from people who felt the sheriff\u2019s department had been careless at best and deliberately misleading at worst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI LITERALLY THOUGHT THIS WAS NANCY GUTHRIE. THE WAY MY HEART JUST DROPPED!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another was blunt in their frustration: \u201cYou knew what you were doing with that title. What the h<em>ll!\u201d Many took aim at the department\u2019s overall competence. \u201cI\u2019m beginning to think Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department is actually a satirical organization. It\u2019s the only explanation for this post. Do you guys require a civil service exam or are you a take what we can get department,\u201d one user wrote. Others were equally scathing. \u201cWhat an embarrassing police department to do that. Nice that they found her though, but wow,\u201d another person commented. One user went further and said, \u201cTHE F<\/em>CK?!?! NOW CLICK BAIT? The sheriff need a new hair styling and needed the monetary payoff? From the sheriff to the media team, all need removal. Pima County you deserve better than these morons. What a fucking disaster PIMA County is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCould\u2019ve used her whole name. Glad she is found but this seems deliberate,\u201d one commenter noted. While another wrote, \u201cI swear to God this twitter account is ran by Mr. Magoo.\u201d A department already under pressure The social media mistake comes at a very sensitive time for the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department, which has been under close watch since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona on February 1. The 84-year-old has now been missing for more than 11 weeks and investigators have not found a suspect yet. The department shared a statement on April 16 saying it has been working with the Federal Bureau of Investigation from the start of the case. \u201cPCSD has worked with the FBI since the beginning of the Guthrie investigation. This is not new information,\u201d the department wrote on X. \u201cThe private lab we utilize in Florida continues to share information with the FBI lab &amp; other partner labs across the country. DNA analysis remains ongoing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where the investigation stands<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>DNA evidence from Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home, including hair samples has been sent to the FBI for advanced testing, sources told&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/us\/fbi-received-dna-data-nancy-guthrie-case-sources\" target=\"_blank\">Fox News.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Journalist Brian Entin wrote on X: \u201cSome DNA evidence from Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home has been sent to the FBI\u2019s lab for advanced analysis. I am told the evidence includes hairs found in Guthrie\u2019s home. This comes after evidence has already been tested through a Florida lab the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Office uses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier, a DNA sample checked in the FBI\u2019s CODIS database found no match. Another mixed and incomplete DNA sample is too weak to form a full profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other evidence has been ruled out. Blood on Guthrie\u2019s porch was hers and a glove found nearby did not match any known criminals or other DNA from the home. Investigators and the Guthrie family have repeatedly called on the public for help. Guthrie family has offered the reward of $1 million for their mother\u2019s safe recovery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2018Nancy has been located\u2019: Sheriff\u2019s department faces backlash after \u2018misleading post\u2019 causes confusion in Guthrie search The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1355,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1354","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
