Blood found at Savannah Guthrie's mother's Arizona home as search for missing elderly woman intensifies.
A small amount of dried blood was spotted outside the front door of Nancy Guthrie's Tucson, Arizona, home on Tuesday. The discovery has raised new questions in the investigation into her disappearance, which is now being treated as a crime.
Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on Saturday night but did not appear for church the next morning, prompting an alert to be issued. Authorities believe she may have been abducted from her home over the weekend, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stating that investigators are looking into the possibility of a security camera being stolen.
As part of the investigation, a ransom note was received by a local news station, which contained specific details about Guthrie's home and what she was wearing on the night of her disappearance. The authenticity of the note has not been confirmed. The sheriff's department has urged anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that any tip could potentially lead to a breakthrough in the case.
Guthrie's family has asked residents near her home to review their security footage from over the weekend, particularly between 1 am and 4 am on Sunday. Sheriff Nanos stressed that even small details could be crucial in solving the case, advising anyone with information to contact authorities immediately.
The FBI is also assisting in the investigation, with officials stating that they are working tirelessly to find any leads that may help locate Guthrie. Jon Edwards, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's Tucson office, renewed a call for people to come forward if they saw anything suspicious on Saturday night or Sunday morning.
Guthrie's family has been keeping her disappearance under close scrutiny, with Savannah Guthrie asking her followers to pray for her mother on social media. An official reward is now being offered by an Arizona-based non-profit program, which will provide up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of those involved in her disappearance.
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance continues, with authorities working around the clock to uncover any new evidence that may lead to her safe return.
