Late last night, police confirmed that a blue necklace believed to belong to her was reported around 500 meters from the family home, discovered along a narrow path she was known to take regularly. For a brief moment, the find suggested that her movements in the hours before she vanished might finally be coming into focus.
But that hope was short-lived.
When officers arrived to secure the area and examine the scene, the necklace was no longer there.
Did it slip from her neck during her final steps?
Was it dropped unintentionally in a moment of weakness or confusion?
Or did someone else find it — and leave before police could arrive?
Investigators say the necklace holds deep personal significance and was rarely removed, strengthening the theory that it may have fallen naturally during movement rather than being deliberately left behind. The distance from the home has also prompted renewed discussion, suggesting she may have traveled farther than previously believed — a development that brings both renewed hope and fresh heartbreak.
Neighbors have told police they noticed nothing out of the ordinary, recalling only a quiet stretch of road and, earlier that day, a brief flash of blue — something that meant nothing at the time, but now feels impossible to ignore.:max_bytes(150000):strip_icc():focal(740x190:742x192)/savannah-guthrie-nancy-guthrie-021226-cb77ba7657e34284ab97e3367ec29223.jpg)
For those closest to the family, the disappearance of such a small, meaningful object has been deeply upsetting. “It feels like losing her all over again,” a source said quietly. “That necklace was a part of who she was.”
Police are now urging the public to come forward if anyone saw or found a blue necklace in that area, even briefly. In a case where answers remain painfully limited, investigators say every detail matters.
As the search continues and another night falls, one haunting question remains unanswered:
If the necklace truly fell as she moved forward… where did she go next?
