Search for Nancy Guthrie Enters Second Month as Leads Dwindle
Tucson, AZ – The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has now stretched into its second month following her abduction from her Tucson home on Sunday, February 1. Despite ongoing efforts, investigators are facing a challenging case as new leads become scarcer.
One promising lead, a glove discovered approximately two miles from Guthrie’s residence, has unfortunately proven to be a dead end. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that DNA found on the glove belonged to an individual employed at a nearby restaurant and has “nothing to do with the case.”
On Tuesday, the FBI met with Nancy Guthrie’s children in Tucson for a routine briefing on the case’s status. Sources indicated that this was a standard “touch base” meeting, with investigators confirming they “have nothing to tell them” at this time regarding new developments.
As the case’s initial prominence in national news has subsided, the volume of tips received by law enforcement has also decreased. However, investigators continue to actively pursue all possible leads.
A significant reward remains in place for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery. Savannah Guthrie has personally offered a $1 million reward, bringing the combined total from the family and law enforcement to $1.2 million.
Savannah Guthrie recently took to Instagram to express gratitude for the outpouring of support, writing, “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country. please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home.”
Anyone with information regarding Nancy Guthrie’s whereabouts is urged to contact 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
