Nancy Guthrie disappearance: Day 31 latest updates

TUCSON, Ariz. – Tuesday marks Day 31 in the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her Tucson-area home on Feb. 1. Authorities believe Nancy was taken from her home against her will.

Savannah shared the pH๏τo on her Instagram Monday, saying in part, “we feel the love and prayers,” and “please don’t stop praying and hoping with us.”

The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it is “refocusing resources” to detectives ᴀssigned to the case, and reviewing surveillance video. Fox News reported that the case is being handed over to a task force, which includes homicide detectives and FBI agents.

In a social media post on Feb. 27, Savannah Guthrie pleaded for the return of her missing mother, saying the $1 million reward her family offered for the recovery of Nancy “can be paid in cash.”

“Please – be the one that brings her home. Tips can be anonymous, reward can be paid in cash, as explained here,” Guthrie wrote in her post, which was accompanied with a video from the “Today” show that explained to viewers how anonymous tips can be submitted.

A day earlier, newly-released video from a neighbor’s Ring camera showed a dozen cars pᴀssing through the area on the same morning that Nancy disappeared. Some of the activity takes place at around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, which is around the same time Nancy’s pacemaker last synced with her iPhone.

The FBI told Fox News that some of its operations in the search have been moved to Phoenix. Nancy’s home will also reportedly be turned back over to her family either this weekend or early next week.

There was also new law enforcement activity last week at Nancy’s home. Drone video showed a group of detectives walking into the backyard by the pool and through a gate to the pack patio.

The investigators were also seen at the front door, standing near the area where blood was found on the ground.

FBI officials said they have received 1,500 new tips since Savannah Guthrie increased the reward amount.

Pima County officials also debunked claims that a new doorbell pH๏τo shows a masked suspect at Nancy Guthrie’s home prior to her Feb. 1 abduction, calling the social media rumors “purely speculative.” Investigators clarified that while images show a suspect in various stages of attire, there are no date or time stamps to prove the individual visited the property on multiple different days.
