PIMA COUNTY, Ariz. — The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, began after she was abducted from her home near Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday, Feb. 1, authorities said.

Nancy Guthrie case may see resources scaled back: Sources
The lack of recent progress in the probe into Savannah Guthrie’s mother’s kidnapping may mean that investigators soon scale back their resources, sources with knowledge of the case told ABC News Friday.
Nearly three weeks after Nancy Guthrie vanished, investigators are finding their best leads are so far coming up empty.
Partial DNA recovered at the home is, for the moment, unidentified; technology companies and the FBI have recovered no additional video from her home security system; and investigators have been unable to associate a vehicle with her abduction, law enforcement sources told ABC News.
Right now, there are 400 investigators assigned to the case operating 24/7, the sheriff’s department has said. Given the seemingly sluggish progress, investigators believe the case would soon have to move into a new phase with fewer dedicated resources but a small task force focused on it long term, the sources said.
The Guthrie family is aware that the investigation might need to be transitioned and has been briefed on the fact that certain leads have not been panning out, the sources said.

Man detained last week identified
A lawyer representing a convicted felon said his client and his client’s mother were briefly detained as part of the Nancy Guthrie investigation.
Luke Daley, 37, and his mother, who is 77, were detained and had their house searched on Feb. 13, according to his lawyer, Chris Scileppi. Their home is about 2 miles from Guthrie’s.
Chris Scileppi confirmed Daley — who has served time in state prison on drug-related charge — was the target of the operation by the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Department but reiterated neither Daley nor his mother were arrested and said they have no link to Guthrie.
“Like the entire Tucson community, both Mr. Daley and his mother are hopeful that Nancy will be returned to her family unharmed,” Scileppi said in a statement.
Daley was the second person detained for questioning and released after a deliveryman who identified himself as Carlos was stopped earlier in the investigation. ABC News has previously reported investigators are leaning away from both men as possible suspects.
