Police activity connected to the search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of US news anchor Savannah Guthrie, is occurring at a residence about two miles from her home. Armed police teams have been seen entering and exiting the area, while a sheriff's vehicle is blocking the road.
This comes after officials stated that investigators had discovered DNA at Guthrie's address that does not belong to her or anyone close to her. Nancy, 84, disappeared from her Tucson home nearly two weeks ago, and authorities suspect she was taken against her will.
In a social media update, the sheriff's department confirmed that law enforcement activity is ongoing related to the Guthrie case but did not provide further details. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos mentioned that investigators are actively working a lead.
More than a dozen law enforcement vehicles were spotted in the area, including SWAT teams and forensics experts. Evidence, including several gloves discovered two miles from Nancy's home, has been collected for analysis, while inaccurate reports about a glove being found on her property were denied by the sheriff's department.
The FBI has released a suspect description, revealing a male who is 5'9 to 5'10 tall, along with doorbell camera footage that has generated over 13,000 tips from the public. The reward for information about Nancy's disappearance has also been increased from $50,000 to $100,000.
Nancy is known to require daily medication and has limited mobility, which heightens concerns for her safety. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made public pleas for the safe return of their mother, expressing their belief that she is still alive and is willing to negotiate for her return.
