Sheriff: Captor Had a Target in Nancy Guthrie Kidnapping
Authorities say Nancy Guthrie, 84, was abducted from her Tucson home, as investigators search for clues and no suspects have been identified yet.
Authorities say Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Tucson home in the early hours of February 1, as investigators race to determine what happened and who was behind the kidnapping.
A sheriff's statement indicates the person who abducted Guthrie had a specific target in mind, though investigators have not identified any suspects or persons of interest as the search enters its third week. The lack of immediate leads has intensified a community-wide effort to locate Guthrie and understand the motive behind the disappearance.
Forensic clues have offered limited insight. In particular, DNA found on gloves recovered near Guthrie's home did not match anything in the national DNA database, leaving investigators without a clear match to pursue. Law enforcement officials say the investigation remains active, with multiple units following up on possible tips and conducting routine checks in the area.
Savannah Guthrie’s family is leaning on one another as the search continues. Sources close to the situation say the Today show anchor is devastated by her mother’s disappearance and has been supported by relatives and colleagues during this troubling time. Authorities are asking the public to come forward with any information, no matter how small, that might help advance the investigation.
As the third week of the search unfolds, officials reiterate that it remains a priority to bring Guthrie home safely. Community members are urged to stay vigilant, share any sightings, and report them to local authorities immediately.
