Pima County Sheriff renews plea in Nancy Guthrie case
Three months after nancy guthrie was abducted from her Tucson home, the Pima County Sheriff's Department renewed its request for public help. Guthrie, 84, is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, and investigators said the search remains active and ongoing.
Anyone with information related to the case is being urged to contact 88-CRIME or the FBI tip line at 1-800-225-5324. The department said, "Anyone with information related to the Nancy Guthrie case is encouraged to come forward" and "Please contact 88-CRIME or the FBI tip line at 1-800-225-5324."
Pima County Sheriff's Department
The sheriff's department said it continues to work with the FBI "as investigators follow up on leads, review information, and pursue the facts surrounding this case." That renewed appeal comes after a stretch of investigative steps that have centered on the front of Guthrie's home and the early-morning period when her devices disconnected.
Authorities recovered some video showing a masked, armed suspect at her front door. A retired FBI supervisory agent, James Gagliano, said the blood pattern on Guthrie's front porch suggests a single abductor. He also tied together the timeline around the doorbell camera disconnecting around 1:47 a.m., home security software detecting a person at 2:12 a.m., and the pacemaker app disconnecting at 2:28 a.m.
February 6 Clues
On February 6, Savannah Guthrie referenced clues that included propped-open back doors, blood on the doorstep, and a disabled Ring camera. Nancy Guthrie had been driven home from dinner at the home of her other daughter, Annie Guthrie, and Annie's husband, Tommaso Cioni, arriving just before 10 p.m. the night before the disappearance.
Last month, 11 weeks into the investigation, the FBI received a hair sample obtained from the crime scene after it was sent to a private lab in Florida without getting a result. That followed a separate transfer of crime scene DNA samples to the FBI days before the renewed plea, keeping the case in active testing even as investigators continue asking the public to supply the next usable lead.
