Authorities are still working on Nancy Guthrie case, Pima County sheriff confirms

The Pima County Sheriff's Department in Arizona said Friday that it is continuing its investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, which took place nearly nine months ago.

Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since February and is believed to have been kidnapped. She was last seen alive at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Jan. 31.

The department said it has sent Nancy Guthrie Task Force members to Florida in hopes of advancing the case, and that it is working on DNA analysis.

"Earlier this month, investigators traveled to Florida to meet with lab scientists to see what more could be done to advance this case," the department wrote in an X post. "A number of ideas were discussed, and we continue to work with all our partners to solve this case."

The department reminded the public to report any information they have about the case, even if it seems small. 

"Even the smallest piece of information could be critical to this investigation," the department said. 

The department previously released ransom notes that authorities believe came from the kidnappers. The notes included redactions, but the sheriff's department said it hopes people will be able to help identify the writer and alleged kidnapper by the writer's style and voice. 

The first note was sent to local CBS Tucson affiliate KOLD-TV on Feb. 2, and was addressed to Savannah Guthrie. The second note, addressed to the Guthrie family, was sent Feb. 6. 

The first note stated that Nancy Guthrie was alive and safe, but the second revealed that she died unexpectedly because of her pre-existing conditions. She is allegedly buried "in nature now."
