As the family pleaded publicly, neighbors began revisiting moments they hadn’t thought much about at the time.
One detail is now drawing renewed scrutiny: a white, unmarked van reportedly seen parked on the street in the days before Nancy disappeared, according to the New York Post.

“It was somewhere on that street. It was a white van, full-sized, with no printing on the sides,” neighbor Brett McIntire said. “It was parked on the street. Normally people that are coming to work on your home will have a company vehicle or if they’re independent something written on it [sic],” he added.
McIntire said he reported the van to police, though he couldn’t recall the exact day it appeared.
Where the Investigation Stands Now
Sheriff Nanos has said authorities are “actively looking at everyone” as a suspect. He also confirmed that a trail of blood found outside Nancy’s front door belonged to her.
Investigators previously stated they believe Nancy was abducted in her sleep and “harmed” in the process.
For now, the family waits. And as experts continue to connect the dots, the most haunting question remains: Was Nancy Guthrie being watched long before she ever disappeared?
Watch
As investigators piece together evidence suggesting planning and intent, attention is now turning to a more unsettling contrast: what Nancy’s life looked like in the days and weeks before she vanished—and how ordinary it seemed right up until the end.
Nancy disappeared from her Arizona home late Saturday night. While investigators focus on what may have happened during those hours, friends are now describing how normal life seemed right up until the end.

A Life That Looked Completely Ordinary
In the weeks before her disappearance, Nancy was not withdrawn or isolated. According to those who knew her best, she was busy, social, and fully engaged in her daily routines.
Friends told Page Six that she maintained a packed social calendar and rarely missed her regular gatherings. One of those was a long standing book club that had been meeting for years.
