Nancy Guthrie update: Search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother enters seventh week with no arrests

The search for missing Arizona 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, entered its seventh week Sunday morning.

Savannah, who skipped NBC’s Olympics coverage to spend time with her family during the search effort, still hasn’t returned to work, although she visited her colleagues earlier this month after returning to New York from her native Tucson.

Her mother is believed to have been abducted from her longtime home in the Catalina Foothills, an upscale suburban neighborhood in northern Tucson, in the early hours of Feb 1.

Authorities have recovered Nest doorbell camera video of a masked suspect who remains unidentified. They recovered additional images last week that have not been publicly released, and it’s unclear that they are of value to the investigation.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos warned last week that the suspect could “absolutely” strike again and hinted that he believes he knows the potential motive in an interview with Savannah Guthrie’s network, NBC.

“We believe that it was targeted, but we can’t — we’re not 100% sure of that,” he said. “And so it would be silly to tell people, ‘Yea don’t worry about it. You’re not his target.’ No, you could be.”

Investigators said previously that the victim’s pacemaker last synced via Bluetooth around 2:30 a.m. the night she went missing. They found blood drops on her front porch, leading to the driveway, where the trail stopped.

A mixed DNA sample recovered inside her home has been sent to a private Florida lab and has not yet been unraveled.

Federal law enforcement sources previously told Fox News Digital it provided only a partial profile that was insufficient for the FBI’s CODIS database of known offenders as well as investigative genetic genealogy techniques.

Separately, Nanos confirmed that investigators are looking into some kind of power or internet outage the morning of Nancy’s abduction, but he said it was not connected to a utility box around the corner from the home showing signs of having been tampered with.

As the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie continues, a former FBI agent is raising concerns about how the case has unfolded. During a recent discussion about the search for the missing 84-year-old, Nicole Parker pointed to specific aspects of the investigation that she said don’t inspire a great deal of confidence, while acknowledging that authorities may still be working behind the scenes to gather critical evidence.

“The sheriff came out in an interview and said he believes that they know why he, meaning the offender, did this, and that they believe it was targeted,” Parker said on Fox News’ Hannity, referring to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos’ recent comments on the case.

“But then, in the next sentence, he says, ‘but we’re not 100% sure of that.’ And so, for me as an investigator, that doesn’t instill a lot of confidence and I think that’s part of the problem with this investigation,” she continued. “From day one, we’ve heard one statement and then retracted and then you get contradicting statements. And you’re always looking to law enforcement, to the lead investigator, to the sheriff in charge of the lead investigating agency to give you direction and to pronounce the facts.”

Parker went on to say that there’s been a “track record” of going back on statements made by the authorities, particularly Nanos. She explained that without any major leads and no firm suspect, it’s “confusing” when things are communicated to the public with “articulation.”

“We need answers. Nancy needs to be brought home. There needs to be closure,” she said.

Guthrie has been missing since Sunday, Feb. 1. While the Pima County Sheriff’s Office hasn’t said much in the way of latest developments in the case, Sheriff Nanos has said that progress is being made. Nevertheless, authorities have not publicly identified a suspect, no arrests have been made, and, most importantly, Guthrie hasn’t been found.
