Nancy Guthrie Update Today: Search Reaches Crossroads
Sunday, March 1, officially marks one month since Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home.
So, March 1 brings an important, one-month milestone, as officials continue to search for the 84-year-old woman. Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home on Feb. 1 against her will.
Even though the search continues, according to a report from Fox News, law enforcement didn't provide any updates on the case on Saturday, Feb. 28.
Nancy Guthrie Update: Investigative Expert Shares Update From the Scene
Fox News reporter Michael Ruiz has been on the scene, and even though officials were silent on Saturday, he shared an update.
"Authorities are still chasing down leads — DNA, digital forensics, and tens of thousands of tips from the public," he stated in a post on X. "We haven't heard any specifics of what they've found — other than that an unknown male DNA sample only contained a partial profile that's not enough for the FBI's CODIS database."
He added, "Savannah Guthrie and her siblings are offering up to $1 million for information that brings Nancy home. Pima County's crackdown on media parking, coupled with U.S. strikes on Iran, have resulted in a noticeable drawdown of media presence in Tucson — but we're still here," noting that Fox News was still on the scene.
"The two-mile radius where police were canvassing for home security video may not have been large enough," he continued. "Anyone in the general area, even outside that circle, is encouraged to look through their footage for viable leads." Finally, he urged people to call 1-800-CALL-FBI with tips.
Man Who Abducted Nancy Guthrie 'May Have Had Accomplices'
On Sunday, March 1, Ruiz shared another update from the scene. In it, he noted the milestone that Nancy Guthrie has now been missing for four weeks.
"A gun-toting, masked man believed to be involved in her abduction remains unidentified and at large — and he may have had accomplices," he notes in a post on X. "She's a mother and grandmother, and one of her daughters is 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie."
He adds, "Pima County's crackdown on media parking and U.S./Israeli strikes on Iran have led to a greatly diminished presence from reporters on the ground. The combined reward for Nancy's recovery stands at over $1 million. Residents are urged to review their home security and business cameras for viable leads."
So, even as reporters leave the scene to focus their energy and time on the U.S. international conflict, some remain focused on finding Nancy Guthrie and bringing her home safely. Once again, Ruiz asked the public to send tips to 1-800-CALL-FBI in the post and stated, "Bring Nancy home."
