Nancy Guthrie’s home “has been processed and has been available” to her family since the first week she vanished, though authorities have returned to the house for further investigation, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office tells PEOPLE.

Other outlets reported on Wednesday, Feb. 25, that authorities are only preparing to turn the house over to the family at this time.
Nancy, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her Tucson, Ariz., home in the early morning hours of Sunday, Feb. 1.
Her family called 911 at 12:03 p.m. local time on Feb. 1 to report her missing after she failed to join friends to watch a virtual church service.
Authorities descended upon Nancy’s longtime home to search for the mother of three, who was last seen going into her garage at 9:50 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 31, after having dinner at her daughter Annie’s nearby home.
For days after Nancy vanished, investigators from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI combed through evidence at her house, searching for any clue as to what happened to her.
During a Feb. 3 press conference, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the house had been released to the family. On Feb. 8, the sheriff’s office said it will keep a security presence at the home for security concerns at the request of the Guthrie family.
The FBI and sheriff’s office needed to further investigate the property after Feb. 8, but the property was still available to the family at that time, a sheriff’s spokesperson tells PEOPLE.
“The family remains in possession of the home and will continue to do so,” says a law enforcement source familiar with the investigation.
One of the biggest breaks in the case came on Tuesday, Feb. 10, when authorities released surveillance photos and video footage of a masked man carrying a gun on Nancy’s front porch that same morning.
The FBI Phoenix office described the suspect as “a male, approximately 5’9” – 5’10” tall, with an average build. In the video, he is wearing a black, 25-liter ‘Ozark Trail Hiker Pack’ backpack” that may have been purchased at Walmart.

By 10:00 a.m., I was sitting in my father’s study—staring at a brand-new red convertible in the driveway—and realizing something cold, sharp, and irreversible: This wasn’t a family emergency. This was an extraction. […]

They thought the storm would erase everything. The rain. The darkness. The silence of the lake swallowing a secret no one would ever question. They believed one cruel decision could disappear without consequence.
The rain poured heavily that night, turning the quiet road beside Silver Lake into a glistening ribbon of darkness. Inside a sleek black luxury car, Richard Miller drove slowly along the empty road. The windshield wipers swept back and forth in a steady rhythm, cutting through the sheets of rain that blurred the world outside. […]
