TUCSON, Ariz. — On Tuesday, two podcasters, one wielding a metal detector, meticulously examined a roadside area near the Tucson residence of the missing Nancy Guthrie as three unidentified men carried out activities inside the home.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, is suspected to have been taken from her Tucson residence during the early morning hours of February 1.
The two sets of individuals are not thought to be linked, with the latter group likely having obtained permission from Guthrie’s family to enter the premises. They offered no remarks upon their departure.

The podcasters continued their efforts for several hours, focusing on the property’s frontage. They were previously part of an organized volunteer search in the neighborhood last month, which, according to authorities, did not produce any significant evidence.
Carrying the metal detector, a garden spade and a vinyl brush, they said they were looking for any jewelry or other small items that could have been dropped during the crime.
“We didn’t find anything, but we’re just trying to do as much as we can without trespassing,” Alex Zabel, a Tucson resident who has been volunteering in the search for Guthrie since Feb. 2, told Fox News Digital. Zabel and his volunteer partner, a female searcher who asked to stay anonymous, said the “powerful” device they used could detect 15 feet underground.
Zabel said he remains hopeful that the Tucson community can come together and help find Guthrie.
“They say it takes a village. We could use all these searchers,” he told Fox News Digital.

Separately, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told Fox News Digital that a vehicle belonging to Nancy’s older daughter, Annie, was in the process of being returned to the family weeks after investigators took it as part of the investigation.
Sheriff Chris Nanos has said Nancy’s adult children and their spouses are not suspected in the crime that led to her disappearance.
Savannah’s brother-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, joined the sisters to place flowers at a growing tribute near the foot of Nancy’s driveway Monday.

Authorities have not publicly identified a suspect, vehicle or any persons of interest.
Haunting Nest doorbell camera video shows a masked man on Nancy Guthrie’s front steps around the time of her abduction. He is described as being of average height and build and was wearing a black Ozark Trail backpack.
A combined reward for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery from the FBI, local authorities and the Guthrie family stands at over $1 million. It has not yet been claimed.
Savannah is asking anyone with information to dial 1-800-CALL-FBI.
