Hair found in Nancy Guthrie's home not linked to suspect in abduction: Sheriff
Investigators say the only known biological evidence is a mixed DNA sample from as many as four people as they continue pursuing ransom leads.
- On Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos pushed back against FBI Director Kash Patel, who claimed local investigators delayed the FBI's involvement in the search for missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, asserting federal agents were present from day one.
- Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson, Arizona, home on Feb. 1, 2026, and the case has remained a subject of intense public observation for six months.
- Denying the investigation has turned cold, Nanos detailed the Guthrie Task Force's ongoing scientific DNA analysis, digital evidence review, and video work while managing thousands of incoming tips daily.
- The Guthrie family maintains a $1 million reward, hoping to "bring their mom home," while 88-CRIME offers an additional $102,500; Nanos stated he has zero indication that the family is frustrated with law enforcement.
- Believing Nancy Guthrie is still alive, Nanos expressed confidence that investigators are "every day we're closer" to identifying suspects, theorizing the circle of people involved is small and bound by fear.
