In a separate press conference, authorities said they could tell Nancy that she “didn’t go out on her own” and that they “don’t see this as a search mission” as much as a crime scene. “She couldn’t walk 50 meters by herself,” they added.
Nanos went on to note that he does not believe there is an active threat to the public at this time.
“Let’s go investigate this neighborhood, maybe there’s a prowler (that’s been seen) around,” he said. “There is still a lot of work to be done. We have no indication that the public is still in danger.”
