Sheriff’s department gives update on Nancy Guthrie case 9 months after kidnapping
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says it is continuing DNA analysis with the Nancy Guthrie Task Force, nearly nine months after the 84-year-old was taken from her Tucson home. Investigators travelled to Florida earlier this month to meet laboratory scientists and discuss ways to advance the case, which has yet to produce an identified suspect.
Guthrie, the mother of NBC journalist Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on the night of 31 January and was reported kidnapped on 1 February. Authorities released two ransom notes in July: one demanded $4 million in cryptocurrency and claimed she was unharmed; the other said she had died. Investigators have also assessed a possible new note reported in September and are asking the public to share even small pieces of information.
In short
- Investigators are pursuing further DNA analysis with laboratory scientists.
- No suspect has been identified in Guthrie’s disappearance.
- Authorities continue to ask the public for tips.
