Authorities are working around the clock to find answers in the disappearance of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie. As the search enters its 12th day, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed it has been inundated with tips, receiving more than 4,000 calls in the 24 hours after the FBI released surveillance images of a potential suspect.
According to a CNN report, officials say 18,000 tips have come in since February 1, highlighting both the urgency of the investigation and the community’s determination to help bring the 84-year-old home. On the 12th day of the hunt for finding the Guthrie family matriarch, here is the latest!
Gloves Among ‘Several Items of Evidence’ Recovered From Home
According to a new Page Six report, authorities searching for Nancy Guthrie confirmed that new evidence has been collected from her Tucson residence.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said gloves found at the property are being sent out for testing.
In a statement released Thursday, officials said “several items of evidence” were recovered but did not disclose details beyond the gloves.
The department added that all materials, including the suspicious black glove discovered Wednesday, are being “submitted for analysis … as part of the investigative process.”
Multiple reports indicate a nylon glove was located along a dirt path near the home. Previously released FBI images show a possible suspect wearing black gloves, a mask, and a backpack.
The individual also appeared to be armed with a firearm.
FBI Expands Presence as Thousands of Tips Pour In
GettyInvestigators say they are carefully reviewing every credible tip submitted by members of the public.
Since surveillance images were released earlier this week, thousands of leads have poured in.
Authorities said residents should expect a “higher presence of law enforcement activity going forward” as detectives continue canvassing the neighborhood and tracking down new information.
A white forensics tent remains outside Guthrie’s home while evidence is examined. Reports also indicate investigators are collecting DNA samples from hired workers connected to the property as they work to rule out individuals and narrow the focus of the case.
Neighbors Asked for Surveillance Footage During Key Timeframes

Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1. Authorities have said there were signs of forced entry at the home, which has since been processed as a crime scene.
The sheriff’s department is asking neighbors to review and submit surveillance footage recorded between January 1 and February 2. Officials are seeking clips that show vehicles, traffic, pedestrians, or anything “neighbors deem out of the ordinary or important to our investigation.”
Alerts were also distributed through the Neighbors App to residents within a two-mile radius of the property. Some homeowners have received direct requests for doorbell camera footage.
As per Today, NBC reporter Liz Kreutz said investigators are focusing on two specific time frames: between 9 p.m. and midnight on January 11, and between 9:30 and 11 a.m. on January 31. Residents were also asked about their vehicles, including whether they “have a truck.”
$50,000 Reward Remains as Investigation Intensifies
During a press conference last week, Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that they were “actively looking at everyone” as they put the pieces together to determine what happened.
A $50,000 reward is still being offered for “information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance.”
Doorbell footage released earlier this week shows an armed, masked individual walking up to Guthrie’s front door and appearing to tamper with the camera.
As forensic analysis continues and newly recovered evidence is reviewed, authorities say the investigation remains active and urgent.
For her family and the surrounding community, each passing day without answers deepens the uncertainty and the hope for her safe return.
