TUCSON, Ariz. (PulseWire) — Authorities are intensifying their investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie. A significant number of law enforcement vehicles, including those from the sheriff's department and FBI, were spotted operating near her home late Friday, further raising concerns as her whereabouts remain unknown.
Reported missing since February 1, Guthrie, 84, has not been seen, and officials confirmed that traces of her blood were found at her Tucson-area residence. Compounding the urgency of the situation are purported ransom notes sent to media outlets; however, the deadlines for payment have long since passed.
Concerns about Nancy Guthrie's health have escalated, particularly given her need for daily medication and the presence of a pacemaker, which she relies on due to previous heart issues. The sheriff's department has been actively responding to a flood of tips from the public, accumulating over 18,000 calls, while the FBI reports more than 13,000 tips collected since her disappearance.
In a recent development, footage of a masked and armed individual at Guthrie's home during the time of her disappearance was released to the public. This crucial evidence, which totals less than a minute, offers investigators and the public insight into potential leads on her abductors. Experts believe this video could yield numerous valuable clues.
As the search continues, local and federal authorities urge anyone with information to come forward to assist in finding Nancy Guthrie.
