In the ongoing search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, investigators are reaching out to her neighbors, requesting security footage from the past month to help identify her kidnapper.
On Thursday’s edition of the “Today” show, Craig Melvin revealed that investigators have been alerting some of Nancy’s neighbors to check their security systems for footage from particular dates and times.
Reporter Liz Kreutz provided further details, noting that residents in the Tucson, Arizona neighborhood with Ring doorbell cameras have specifically been asked to review recordings between 9 p.m. and midnight on January 11—more than three weeks prior to Nancy’s disappearance.
Authorities are also seeking video from “the morning of January 31, between 9:30 and 11 a.m.”
Nancy was last seen on the evening of January 31. Disturbingly, surveillance footage released on Tuesday captured a masked and armed individual approaching her front door in the early hours of February 1.
This first look at Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s alleged kidnapper has sparked a tidal wave of tips, with 4,000 of the 18,000 total coming in since the footage made headlines.
The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department have also been questioning neighbors about “what cars [they] drive and if [they] have a truck.”
Neighbor David Romano confirmed to NBC on Thursday, “They’ve been asking for a truck.”
Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1, with her home treated as a crime scene due to a blood trail and signs of forced entry.
Savannah has been absent from the “Today” show amid her family’s crisis, hunkering down with her siblings — Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie — in Arizona.
The journalist has pleaded with her Instagram followers for prayers, as well as information on the kidnapping, while navigating the scare.
On Tuesday, she shared footage of the suspect, writing, “Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”
Savannah and her brother and sister have also appealed to the purported captor in multiple social media videos after receiving ransom notes, the legitimacy of which has not been verified, demanding $6 million in Bitcoin.
The Daytime Emmy winner offered “to pay” as Nancy’s return “is valuable” to her family, and a deposit was made in the Bitcoin account Tuesday after both ransom deadlines passed.
Although one person was detained over Nancy’s disappearance, he was released and has maintained his innocence.
Investigators, who previously said in a press conference that they are “actively looking at everyone,” are collecting DNA from hired workers at Nancy’s home.
They are also checking a suspicious black glove found in a search of the nearby Catalina Foothills for DNA.
