TUCSON, Ariz. — At least three people were detained Feb. 13 in connection with the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, according to a Fox News report citing an unnamed local law enforcement source, as authorities continue an intensive search in the Catalina Foothills area.
The reported detentions come as investigators from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI escalate efforts to locate Guthrie, who authorities say was taken from her home against her will and is without necessary medication.
Fox News reported that two males and the mother of one of them were detained after authorities received a tip. The source cautioned that during a warrant execution “technically everyone is detained.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said a written statement would be released but did not immediately confirm details of the detentions.
Guthrie, the mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen the night of Jan. 31 after being dropped off at her Catalina Foothills home near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue.
She was reported missing the following day when she did not attend church. Authorities previously said blood droplets were found on the porch of her home.
On Feb. 11, the FBI’s Phoenix field office said agents were conducting an “extensive search” along multiple roadways near the residence.
On Feb. 12, the sheriff’s department requested that residents within a two-mile radius provide video footage from Jan. 1 through Feb. 2.
On Feb. 13, officials said DNA other than Guthrie’s and those in close contact with her was collected from the property and is being analyzed.
Investigators have not disclosed where the DNA was located or whether the detained individuals are considered suspects.
Law enforcement officials said the investigation remains active and urged residents to continue sharing relevant information as authorities work to determine Guthrie’s whereabouts.
