Pima Sheriff Says 84-Year-Old Nancy Guthrie Case Will Be Solved Soon

3 articles · Updated · KOMO News · Jul 28

Summary

  • Nearly six months after Nancy Guthrie vanished, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators remain confident they will resolve the abduction case soon.
  • Nanos told NBC's TODAY that detectives are still sorting through extensive DNA and video evidence, while local, state and federal agencies continue forensic analysis and witness interviews.
  • Savannah Guthrie renewed pressure on the case Monday with an Instagram plea to her mother's kidnapper to come forward, saying the family is "in agony" and asking for help finding her.
  • Since Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1, authorities have chased ransom-note leads and public tips, including a June search near the U.S.-Mexico border that found no evidence; the FBI still classifies it as a kidnapping-for-ransom investigation.
