00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Crime Alart hourly update Breaking crime News Now, I'm Nicole

2
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: Parton new details in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. Police

3
00:00:08,240 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: are now saying her pacemaker reportedly ceased communication with her

4
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 1: Apple Watch during the early hours of Sunday morning. This

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: according to law enforcement officials. Sources indicated that the eighty

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,159
Speaker 1: four year old's heart device stopped transmitting data to the

7
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: smart watch around two am on Sunday. Investigators disclosed to

8
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 1: Fox News that Nancy's Apple Watch remained at her home,

9
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: suggesting that the pacemaker stopped sinking once it was out

10
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: of range of the watch. The Apple Watch is designed

11
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: to connect with health devices like pacemakers to track vital

12
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:50,639
Speaker 1: signs through Bluetooth technology. Pacemakers are implanted medical devices meant

13
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: to address irregular heart rhythms by delivering small electrical signals

14
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: to the heart. Data from the Apple Watch could provide

15
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: insight into the time line of Nancy's abduction and adds

16
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: a chilling context to reports that she was taken by

17
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: force from her bed in the middle of the night.

18
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: Law enforcement reported the discovery of blood drops leading from

19
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: her front door to the driveway, and noted that a

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 1: doorbell camera was missing when investigators arrived on Sunday. Authorities

21
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: previously stated that Nancy, whose daughter is Savannah Guthrie from

22
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: The Today Show, was last seen at home around nine

23
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 1: forty five pm on Saturday. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanios

24
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: expressed his belief that she had been kidnapped and mentioned

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: that investigators uncovered concerning signs of foul play at her residence.

26
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Her family reported her missing the following morning when she

27
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 1: failed to appear at church, and upon visiting her home,

28
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: they found her belongings, including her wallet, cell phone, apple watch,

29
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 1: and car abandoned with no trace of the eighty four

30
00:01:56,640 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: year old woman. Additional reports to the La Times indicated

31
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: that bloods was located at Nancy's home, along with evidence

32
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: of forced entry. A thorough search effort for Nancy is ongoing,

33
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: with Sheriff Nanios visibly emotional when asked about the chances

34
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,120
Speaker 1: of survival during a press briefing.

35
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 2: You know, we get people who walk away from their homes.

36
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: We get missing people in the mountains hiking and in

37
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: the desert trails. But really, I can't think of the

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: last time we're in the middle of the night in

39
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: someone's bed. An eighty four year old woman disappeared on us.

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 2: That's a challenge for us, and it's something we just

41
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 2: want her back.

42
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: Nanios expressed his determination to maintain hope for Nancy's safe return,

43
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: acknowledging that she is frail and lacks essential medication for

44
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: her well being. The sheriff noted that there was no

45
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 1: indication that Nancy was specifically targeted due to her daughter's

46
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: celebrity status, though he did not dismiss any potential motives.

47
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: While the specifics of her disappearance remain unclear, investigators suspect

48
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: a possible kidnapping or abduction. She did not leave on

49
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: her own. We know that, said the sheriff. On Monday,

50
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: Nanios made a direct appeal to the possible abductor during

51
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: an interview with NBC. Just call us, let her go,

52
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 1: call the family. They will not ask questions or Crime

53
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: and Justice NWS after this for over a year. A

54
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 1: mother in Wisconsin is accused of neglecting her twelve year

55
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: old disabled son, which allegedly resulted in the tragic death

56
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,720
Speaker 1: of the boy at just fifty six pounds. Tina bou Pray,

57
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: fifty one, faces charges of child neglect leading to death.

58
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: As indicated in court documents, her son, who suffered from

59
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 1: muscular dystrophe, relied heavily on his caregivers, particularly his mother.

60
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: According to the criminal complaint, authorities claim that between NOVERMB

61
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: twenty four and his death on December five, Boo Prey

62
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: failed to provide adequate food and medical attention to her son,

63
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: and autopsy revealed that starvation was the cause of death,

64
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 1: with a medical examiner categorizing it as a homicide. The

65
00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: examiner reportedly stated that the boy, whose identity has not

66
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 1: been disclosed, would likely still be alive if he had

67
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 1: received proper nourishment. Allegedly, Boo Prey's comments suggests that she

68
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: had lost hope in caring for her son. She reportedly said,

69
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: it's pretty sad that it takes your kid dying just

70
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 1: to get them out of your hair. Investigators also discovered

71
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: that Boo Prey could have utilized to give cards from

72
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: the Department of Human Services to purchase food for her son. However,

73
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 1: in the weeks leading up to his death, the boy

74
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: only consumed a small amount of frozen chicken nuggets and

75
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: a pizza. Furthermore, Boo Prey allegedly disregarded hospital staff who

76
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: wished to assess his weight and failed to open his

77
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: prescription medication. She informed investigators that her son was unwell

78
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,599
Speaker 1: during Thanksgiving week and expressed a sense saying it was

79
00:05:05,640 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: inevitable he was going to die. Probable Cause AFFIDAVID, which

80
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: was presented to the judge Laura Lavy, indicated that the

81
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:17,839
Speaker 1: boy's weight plummeted from eighty pounds in November to fifty

82
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: six pounds just six months later, with fifteen percent of

83
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: that weight loss occurring during the final five weeks of

84
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 1: his life. District Attorney Christine Mintz emphasized in court that

85
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: the child was not receiving the necessary care or food

86
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 1: to live do praise. Defense attorney Michael Queensland argued that

87
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: the family anticipated weight loss due to the boy's diagnosis,

88
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,799
Speaker 1: stating that they had been formed he was terminally ill

89
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: and would soon require a feeding tube anyway. For the
