Police confiscated a blue Subaru SUV from Nancy Guthrie’s garage in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills and removed a wired camera from her roof during a search of her property on Friday. The vehicle was towed to a Pima County Sheriff’s Office impound lot, though authorities haven’t disclosed the reason for its seizure. The discovery of the rooftop camera, noted by retired NYPD Inspector Paul Mauro, suggests investigators might have overlooked it initially.
This development follows reports that detectives sought surveillance footage from a Circle K store after receiving a tip about a “vehicle of interest.” Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing February 1 after missing church. She was last seen on January 31 when her son-in-law dropped her off following dinner with family.
Authorities declared her home a crime scene on Monday, theorizing she may have been abducted while sleeping. The investigation has involved multiple ransom demands, including one requesting Bitcoin payment by a Thursday deadline that passed without resolution. Guthrie’s three children have publicly pleaded for proof she’s alive and for her safe return.
