Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on February 1, and the focus may be shifting to her neighbors. Authorities believe Guthrie was taken from her home the night before, but over a month later, law enforcement agents have yet to name a suspect or find Guthrie.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that the Guthrie family members, including Annie Guthrie and husband Tommaso Cioni, were not suspects in the case. However, a former SWAT commander suggested that the FBI might be focusing more on her neighborhood in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson, Arizona.
A former law enforcement official, Bob Krygier, a retired SWAT commander, suggested that a neighboring home could have served as the 'staging area' for the perpetrator. This would have allowed them to 'fly under the radar' and secretly watch the 'comings and goings of people' in the community, including Guthrie's mother.
The FBI has been speaking to neighbors about two crucial dates in January – a month before Guthrie was reported missing. They have also quizzed neighbors about January 11 and January 24, seeking security camera footage from these two days.
Legal expert Chad D. Cummings commented on the matter, suggesting that the FBI might have some information pertaining to the Guthrie case which they're checking out. He believes that the FBI already knows a device was in the area and is seeking visual confirmation and a description of the person carrying it.
