What is the latest update in the Nancy Guthrie missing case?

On February 26, investigators released footage from a home security camera located approximately 2.5 miles from Nancy Guthrie's residence . The clip shows a car speeding past the home at around 2:30 a.m. on February 1.

This timing is significant because Nancy's pacemaker last synced with her iPhone at 2:28 a.m. on February 1, shortly after her doorbell camera was disconnected at 1:47 a.m. . The vehicle's presence in the area minutes after the pacemaker signal stopped has become a focal point for investigators.

What about the ransom notes?

The return of the home signals that on-site crime scene processing has been completed.
