Authorities investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie said Friday that members of a task force dedicated to solving the case have traveled to Florida to push forward on DNA analysis.
The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department said in a statement on X that the task force \u201ctraveled to Florida to meet with lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance the case.\u201d
\u201cA number of ideas were discussed, and we continue to work with all of our partners to solve this case,\u201d the department said as the case approaches its ninth month.
Guthrie, 84, is the mother of \u201cTODAY\u201d co-host Savannah Guthrie. She vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona, in February in what federal authorities have described as a kidnapping-for-ransom case.
Updates have been few in recent months in a case that has gripped the nation for much of the year. In late July, federal law enforcement officials announced<\/a> that hair found during the investigation was not linked to any potential suspects.
Savannah Guthrie has continued to appeal for the public\u2019s help. Sharing an image of her mother on Instagram in August, <\/a>she wrote: \u201cThere is a hole inside us that can never be filled. There is an ache that cannot be softened.\u201d
\u201cAnd there is a determination in us that cannot be quenched – to find out what happened to her, so that we can give her the dignity of a proper goodbye – a celebration of her remarkable life that she so deserves,\u201d she added.
The sheriff\u2019s office stressed that \u201cno tip is too small.\u201d
\u201cEven the smallest piece of information could be critical to this investigation,\u201d the department said. \u201cIf you know something, please call 88-CRIME or 1-800-CALL-FBI.\u201d
