Authorities desperately searching for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, have “recovered some evidence,” according to a new statement.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said Thursday that all evidence, including a suspicious black glove found Wednesday, “is being submitted for analysis as part of the investigative process.”
The Post first broke the news about the gloves, which the FBI found on a dirt path near Nancy’s home.
Authorities say they are “continuing to follow up on strong leads throughout the region…as more leads are obtained” regarding the 84-year-old man’s disappearance, and expect “an increased law enforcement presence” in the area.
Nancy was reported missing on February 1st from her home in Tucson, Arizona, where she lived alone.
Her residence, which showed signs of forced entry, was treated as a crime scene, and the FBI eventually joined the investigation, along with local investigators.
Officials’ last press conference was on February 5, when a $50,000 reward was being offered for “information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of those involved in her disappearance.”
Sheriff Chris Nanos said they were “actively investigating everyone” as suspects as they searched for the matriarch who was abducted from her home in the middle of the night.
On Tuesday, the first footage of Nancy’s alleged arrester was released on a black-and-white doorbell camera.
Chilling footage showed a masked, armed figure approaching Nancy’s front door and fiddling with her camera.
Investigators have been receiving an avalanche of tips since photos and videos began circulating online.
Savannah’s NBC colleague Liz Kreutz revealed Thursday that neighbors were asked to turn over their doorbell camera footage during two specific time frames: 9 p.m. to midnight on Jan. 11 and 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. on Jan. 31.
In addition, Kreutz reported that neighbors were asked about cars, specifically whether they “had a truck.”
The FBI, which set up a white tent outside Nancy’s home on Thursday, is reportedly collecting DNA from hired workers around the house to track down the suspect.
Meanwhile, Savannah and her siblings (sister Annie Guthrie and brother Camron Guthrie) have repeatedly petitioned on social media the person who sent the ransom letter demanding $6 million in Bitcoin for Nancy’s return, but the legitimacy of the letter has not yet been confirmed.
Page Six has heard that the family has not been given any evidence that he is alive.
A request for additional Bitcoin made headlines on Wednesday, when an individual demanded one Bitcoin to release information about Nancy’s kidnapping suspect. On Thursday, a second Bitcoin request sent by the same person made headlines.
