Video evidence from a local gas station has reportedly been handed over to authorities as the search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy, intensifies.
Officials suspect that Nancy vanished last Saturday night. Concerns arose on Sunday when she failed to attend church, prompting a missing person report.
Investigators found blood traces on her door, and her Ring Camera had been removed, leading them to treat her disappearance as a potential abduction.
According to the Daily Mail, a Circle K near Nancy’s residence in Tucson, Arizona, revealed that police were acting on a tip about a ‘vehicle of interest’ connected to the case.
A representative from the store confirmed their collaboration with the investigation by granting access to their security footage.
Surveillance footage obtained by Fox News revealed two law enforcement officers approaching the Circle K.
‘They just showed up,’ an employee at the gas station told the outlet, adding that the officers asked for access to the gas station’s camera.
‘They said they were looking for some guy who got away,’ the employee added. ‘No description.’

Authorities believe that Nancy Guthrie was kidnapped from her rural home in Tucson sometime between Saturday night and early Sunday morning
Authorities have identified a ‘vehicle of interest’ in the case, which is believed to have been seen at the Circle K.
Law enforcement has also combed Nancy’s home multiple times in search of evidence.
A wired camera was reportedly retrieved from the roof, and a car was seen being towed from the residence on Friday night.
Video captured by CNN and local NBC affiliate, NBC 4 Los Angeles, showed the car previously pictured inside the home’s garage being towed down the street.
The FBI hasn’t said why the car was removed or whether it is being used as evidence in the case.
Nancy’s home is an active crime scene as law enforcement continues an investigation into how she disappeared.
Authorities have interviewed Nancy’s landscape crew, pool maintenance workers, a housekeeper, and an Uber driver who drove her to her daughter Annie’s home the night before she vanished.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a recent press conference that the interviews were helpful and the staff was cooperative.
Another development in the case came on Friday evening when Tucson news outlet KOLD claimed it received a second ‘message’ from Nancy’s alleged kidnapper.
The outlet had received an alleged ransom note earlier this week. TMZ also said they were sent a similar message.
KOLD said the new letter did not make ransom demands or provide proof of life, but the previous letters demanded millions in bitcoin in exchange for Nancy and set a final deadline of Monday.
Authorities haven’t confirmed the validity of any of the alleged ransom notes, but said they are treating them as ‘serious leads.’
A California resident named Derrick Callella was arrested on Thursday for allegedly sending false ransom notes to Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni.
Callella allegedly admitted to sending the messages to capitalize on the turmoil surrounding Nancy’s abduction and potential ransom demands, and told investigators he was ‘just trying to see if the family would respond.’
Nancy’s health and age have added another layer to the search as she takes daily prescription medication that could be fatal if she doesn’t have access to it.
Nancy also has a pacemaker that’s synced to her Apple Watch. Investigators confirmed that the device stopped transmitting data around 2am on Sunday. Her watch was later found at her house.

Nanos said during a press conference that he’s holding out hope that Nancy is still alive.
‘What I believe is that Nancy was removed from her home against her will, and that we need to find her. That’s what I believe. She’s still alive,’ he said.
‘I believe that I have no choice until something shows me, a piece of physical evidence shows me that that’s different.’
Donald Trump has also spoken out about the case, telling reporters on Air Force One that the investigation was going ‘very well’, adding, ‘We could have some answers coming up fairly soon.’
