Officials in Tucson, Arizona, are actively investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie. She was reported missing earlier this month, and police are requesting home security footage from local residents, particularly from January 31 and February 1, as they look for leads in the case. Onlookers have reported increased police activity around Guthrie's home, with multiple law enforcement officers combing the desert areas nearby.

DNA evidence discovered on her porch confirmed that it belonged to Guthrie, raising concerns for her well-being since she requires medication. Additionally, images of a masked person on her porch on the night she vanished have increased hopes for a breakthrough. Recent efforts have included the release of surveillance footage and a call for public assistance in identifying the individual who may have tampered with a security camera.

Despite the urgency, a suspect previously taken into custody has been released, leading to ongoing scrutiny of the investigation's direction. Authorities are also requesting specific date footage from residents with doorbell cameras in hopes of uncovering vital clues. The situation emphasizes the need for community involvement as investigators continue to pursue every lead. The Guthrie family is reportedly considering ransom options in their desperate search for Nancy.
