Investigators searching for Nancy Guthrie are asking the missing 84-year-old’s neighbors for month-old security footage as they try to track down her abductor.
Craig Melvin kicked off the “Today” show Thursday by revealing, “Some of Nancy’s neighbors say they’ve received alerts from investigators requesting footage from their own security cameras for specific dates and times.”
Reporter Liz Kreutz elaborated on this, explaining that those in the Tucson, Ariz., neighborhood with Ring doorbell cameras specifically have been asked for videos between 9 p.m. and midnight on Jan. 11 — “more than three weeks before Nancy disappeared.”

Additionally, authorities want footage from “the morning of Jan. 31 between 9:30 and 11 a.m.”
Nancy, notably, was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31 — and disturbing videos were released Tuesday showing a masked and armed individual approaching her front door in the early hours of Feb. 1.
This first look at Savannah Guthrie’s mom’s alleged kidnapper has sparked a tidal wave of tips, with 4,000 of the 18,000 total coming in since the footage made headlines.

The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department have also been questioning neighbors about “what cars [they] drive and if [they] have a truck.”
Neighbor David Romano confirmed to NBC on Thursday, “They’ve been asking for a truck.”
Nancy was reported missing on Feb. 1, with her home treated as a crime scene due to a blood trail and signs of forced entry.
Savannah has been absent from the “Today” show amid her family’s crisis, hunkering down with her siblings — Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie — in Arizona.

The journalist has pleaded with her Instagram followers for prayers, as well as information on the kidnapping, while navigating the scare.
On Tuesday, she shared footage of the suspect, writing, “Someone out there recognizes this person. We believe she is still out there. Bring her home.”
Savannah and her brother and sister have also appealed to the purported captor in multiple social media videos after receiving ransom notes, the legitimacy of which has not been verified, demanding $6 million in Bitcoin.
The Daytime Emmy winner offered “to pay” as Nancy’s return “is valuable” to her family, and a deposit was made in the Bitcoin account Tuesday after both ransom deadlines passed.

Although one person was detained over Nancy’s disappearance, he was released and has maintained his innocence.
Investigators, who previously said in a press conference that they are “actively looking at everyone,” are collecting DNA from hired workers at Nancy’s home.
They are also checking a suspicious black glove found in a search of the nearby Catalina Foothills for DNA.
