Investigators looking for Nancy Guthrie are examining possible incidents at her Arizona home in the weeks leading up to her abduction, according to a local sheriff.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, facing criticism over the prolonged 52-day search, mentioned that authorities are focusing on events from three weeks before the time the 84-year-old, who is the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing.
“We suspect something occurred on January 11th, based on data and digital analysis conducted by the FBI,” Nanos stated.
While leading the investigation, Nanos did not go into detail about the evidence that pointed to that particular night.
Guthrie is thought to have been taken from her Tucson home during the early hours of February 1st.
Disturbing security footage retrieved from her doorbell camera displayed a masked individual lingering near her front door on the night authorities believe she was abducted.
As the search for their grandmother enters its seventh week, the family remains optimistic that someone will provide crucial information to help advance the case.
“We maintain that the residents of Tucson and the surrounding communities hold the key to addressing this matter,” the family expressed in a statement.
“Someone has information. There are community members who may possess details they don’t even realize are significant. We urge everyone to reflect on their memories, especially around the key dates of January 31st, the early hours of February 1st, and the late night of January 11th.”
“We appeal to this community to reinvigorate interest in our mother’s case by reviewing camera footage, diary notes, text messages, and any observations or conversations that might have a retrospective relevance,” they added.
