TUCSON, Ariz. — More than four months after Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson-area home, the investigation remains open and no suspect has been publicly named, authorities said.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said the case is still active and that work is continuing, urging patience and asking the public to keep submitting tips and any video footage. He said some information is being withheld to protect the investigation rather than to keep the public in the dark, in an interview with local station KOLD.
Guthrie is believed to have been taken from her home in the Catalina Foothills in the early hours of Feb. 1. The FBI has said it has been involved daily, and the sheriff's department has cleared all members of the Guthrie family as suspects. DNA testing confirmed blood found at the home was Guthrie's, and investigators have been analyzing other evidence, including mixed DNA, according to accounts from the sheriff and reporting by NBC News and The Associated Press.
Separately, the sheriff's department issued an alert this week for a 40-year-old woman wanted in connection with a kidnapping reported in May about seven miles from Guthrie's home. Authorities said they currently believe there is no connection between that case and Guthrie's disappearance.
A combined reward of more than $1 million is being offered for information leading to Guthrie's recovery. The family has asked anyone with information to contact the FBI.
