Sheriff\u2019s, FBI and forensics vehicles passed through roadblocks 2 miles from missing 84-year-old woman\u2019s home
Law enforcement investigating the disappearance of Today show host Savannah Guthrie\u2019s mother, Nancy, sealed off a road near her home in Arizona<\/a> late Friday night.
A parade of sheriff\u2019s and FBI vehicles, including forensics vehicles, passed through the roadblock that was set up about 2 miles (3.2km) from the house.
The two agencies also tagged and towed a Range Rover SUV from a Culver\u2019s restaurant parking lot. The restaurant is just over 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie\u2019s home. This activity took place at the same time the sheriff\u2019s office closed a road just north of the Guthrie home.
The Pima county sheriff\u2019s department said the activity was part of the Guthrie case, but also said the FBI requested that it not release further information.
On Saturday morning, the department confirmed that a federal court-ordered search warrant was carried out at a residence in connection with the ongoing investigation into Nancy Guthrie\u2019s disappearance. But it added that no arrests were made during the search. The roads were later reopened.
Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on 1 February. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch of her Tucson-area home. Purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.
Authorities have expressed concerns about Guthrie\u2019s health because she needs daily medication. She is said to have a pacemaker and has dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff\u2019s dispatcher audio on broadcastify.com.
Investigators have studied surveillance video, sorted through thousands of tips, and submitted DNA and other evidence for laboratory analysis.
Pima county sheriff Chris Nanos indicated to the New York Times that he shared public frustration at the pace of the investigation.
\u201cIt\u2019s exhausting, these ups and downs. But we will keep moving forward,\u201d he told the newspaper \u201cMaybe it\u2019s an hour from now. Maybe it\u2019s weeks or months or years from now. But we won\u2019t quit. We\u2019re going to find Nancy. We\u2019re going to find this guy.\u201d
Critics of the handling of the investigation point to an initial misstep when Guthrie\u2019s home was cleared as a crime scene a day after she went missing.
The home stood unguarded as reporters and others wandered the property before it was then closed off again for the FBI to conduct its own search. Nanos acknowledged at an earlier news conference that the decision was like playing \u201cMonday morning quarterback\u201d but: \u201cAbsolutely. I probably could have held off on that.\u201d
The FBI said it has collected more than 13,000 tips since Guthrie was reported missing. The sheriff\u2019s department, meanwhile, said it has taken at least 18,000 calls.
On Tuesday, authorities released footage showing an armed and masked person at Guthrie\u2019s doorstep on the night she was abducted. The videos \u2013 less than a combined minute in length \u2013 gave investigators and the public their first glimpse of who was outside Guthrie\u2019s home in the foothills outside Tucson.
Experts say the video could contain a mountain of clues.
