The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, has entered its seventh week following her suspected abduction from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on February 1. Savannah Guthrie has taken leave from her broadcasting duties to be with her family during this ongoing search.
Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding Nancy's disappearance, including reviewing footage from a Nest doorbell camera that captured an unidentified masked suspect. Although investigators have secured additional images, their potential relevance to the case remains uncertain. The Pima County Sheriff, Chris Nanos, has indicated that the situation could pose a risk to the community, stating that the suspect may not have completed their motives and urging vigilance among residents.
Key evidence includes blood drops found on Nancy's front porch, leading to her driveway, where the trail ceased. Additionally, a mixed DNA sample recovered from her home has been sent to a private lab for analysis. Investigators are also exploring the possibility of a power or internet outage at the time of her abduction, although this has not been definitively linked to any tampering.
To aid in the investigation, billboards have been erected in various southwestern states, and there is a combined reward of over $1.2 million for information leading to her whereabouts. The family is urging anyone with information to come forward by contacting the FBI. The case remains active as law enforcement continues to seek answers in the hopes of locating Nancy Guthrie.
