(AP Photo/Rebecca Noble, File) The Pima County Sheriff's Department in Arizona posted an online update with four words everyone has been hoping to see: "Nancy has been located." Except it wasn't the Nancy who's been in the headlines since February. Instead, the note referred to 82-year-old Nancy Radakovich, who was found safe after being reported missing earlier in the day, reports Fox News. The department is now facing a wave of criticism from people who thought Nancy Guthrie, mother of Savannah Guthrie, had been found, per Newsweek. "Thank god she was found but COME ON," wrote one user, typifying the sentiment. "Can you be anymore tone deaf???" Fair or not, Sheriff Chris Nanos and his department have generally been taking grief over their failure to crack the case of Guthrie's disappearance. No major developments have surfaced recently, though the FBI is using new tech to analyze a hair sample found in Guthrie's home. Read These Next It was a crazy scene atop the Empire State Building.
