Today, Banfield says investigators towed the car of Annie, who has “some connection” to Cioni, 50. Banfield adds that all the cameras in Nancy’s house in Tucson, Arizona, were destroyed.

Earlier Tuesday, NewsNation released a video showing a trail of blood leading to the steps of Nancy’s house. The Los Angeles Times also reports that blood belonging to Nancy was found at the crime scene.

TMZ received a purported ransom note from one or more strangers who demanded payment in exchange for Nancy’s release. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are investigating whether the note is authentic.

Police say Nancy was kidnapped from her home in the middle of the night over the weekend. Investigators work quickly to find Nancy…believing time is running out. She is 84 years old, in poor health and without his daily medications.
