Sheriff Says New Evidence Could Crack Nancy Guthrie Case

The Pima County Sheriff said he is “positive” they will resolve the case.

The sheriff investigating Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance says a trove of new evidence leaves him with no doubt the case will be solved. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos provided an update during an interview that aired on the Today show Tuesday, saying investigators are still working through a significant amount of evidence gathered since the 84-year-old’s alleged abduction on Feb. 1. “We have so much DNA to sort through,” Nanos said. “We have so much in terms of video evidence to look at.” Despite the lack of arrests or named suspects, he added, “I’m still positive that we’re gonna resolve this case.” The update comes one day after Nancy’s daughter, Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, shared an emotional video on social media pleading directly with whoever may know what happened to her mother. “I’m asking you, begging you to do the right thing now,” Savannah said. “Help us find her, tell us where to look for her.” NBC correspondent Erin McLaughlin noted it is unclear why Savannah released the message now, though it could be tied to a private new line of communication in the investigation.
