Investigators return to Nancy Guthrie's home as search for NBC host's mother continues

Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her Tucson home; over 100 detectives and the FBI are pursuing leads including a possible ransom demand, officials said.

  • On Feb. 4, FBI agents and local investigators returned to Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home with canine units to comb the crime scene, as the Pima County Sheriff's Department investigates an apparent abduction.
  • Saturday, January 31, Nancy Guthrie was last seen near her Tucson home, and the Guthrie family searched the house after a Tucson church contact alerted them before calling police.
  • Forensic evidence at the scene, including blood inside the home, indicates she likely did not leave voluntarily, and DNA testing confirmed blood found on the porch of Guthrie residence matched Nancy Guthrie.
  • The FBI announced a $50,000 reward and made an arrest related to an imposter ransom demand, with a complaint to be presented in court, Heith Janke said yesterday.
  • Officials warn that Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old, requires daily medication that can be fatal if not received within 24 hours, increasing urgency as Savannah Guthrie, NBC "Today" co-host, stepped away on Friday, February 6, and family released a plea video on Wednesday, February 4.
