In a notable development late Friday night, authorities intensified their investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, by sealing off a road near her residence in Tucson, Arizona. This action marks a significant step in the ongoing case that has captured public attention.
The scene was marked by a convoy of sheriff and FBI vehicles, including specialized forensic units, making their way through a roadblock positioned approximately two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home. The increased law enforcement presence suggests a pivotal moment in the investigation as officials continue their efforts to uncover new leads.
While the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that this activity is a part of the broader investigation into Guthrie’s disappearance, they have chosen to withhold specific details at this time. As the situation develops, both the community and those following the case nationwide remain eager for updates and hopeful for a resolution.
A parade of sheriff’s and FBI vehicles, including forensics vehicles, passed through the roadblock that was set up about 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from the house.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said the activity was part of the Guthrie investigation but declined to detail specifics.
Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on Feb. 1. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch of her Tucson-area home. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.
