When detectives searched her home, they found a scene that caused "grave concern", Sheriff Nanos said. He refused to elaborate on what was found. "We do believe that Nancy was taken from her home against her will. And that's where we're at," he said. He would not comment on reports about blood found at the property.Sheriff's officials have asked people to stop sharing unverified information about the case.
