Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of “TODAY” host Savannah GuthrieReported missing on February 1, the focus may be back on her neighbors. authorities believe Guthrie It’s been more than a month since she was taken from her home the night before, but law enforcement officials have yet to release the suspect’s name or find Guthrie.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that members of the Guthrie family, including Anne Guthrie and her husband, Tommaso Scioni, are not suspects in the case.
However, they may focus more on her neighborhood in Catalina Foothills. Tucson, Arizona. A former SWAT commander with the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, who is investigating the case, offered the same advice. Additionally, the FBI, which is assisting with the case, has also been talking to neighbors about two key dates in January – a month before Guthrie was reported missing.
Former SWAT commander says about Nancy Guthrie
Retired SWAT commander Bob Krygier suggested a nearby house could serve as a “staging area.” The former law enforcement official said this would allow the perpetrators to “fly under the radar” and they could secretly monitor “people’s comings and goings” in the community, including Guthrie’s mother, according to procession.
“A like [a vacant home]An area away from the prying eyes of neighbors can also be a place to install surveillance equipment if one chooses. [to do so]it can be easily hidden in a building or property without anyone knowing,” the retired army officer said.
Self-proclaimed investigator Jonathan Lee Riches, who has been covering the case in Tucson so far, also said additional “The FBI made multiple trips to a house under construction at the corner of Camino Escalante and Camino Miraval. Focused on cheap labor. Just down the street from Nancy Guthrie.”
The FBI also asked neighbors about two dates in January, which one expert believes means the FBI may have some information relevant to the Guthrie case they are investigating.
FBI asks neighbor for January date
Guthrie’s neighbors were interviewed on January 11 and January 24, and FBI agents are seeking surveillance video from both days according to American Express. Both days are Saturdays in January.
Legal expert Chad D. Cummings commented on the matter in an interview with the publication. “I do not believe that January 11 and 24 were the dates that investigators extracted from eyewitness interviews. The witnesses did not remember the specific Saturdays six and three weeks before the crime. It is likely that those dates came from the data,” he said.
Cummings added, “Cell tower records produce accurate timestamps. When the FBI identified the phone number that pinged a tower near Nancy Guthrie’s home on the night of January 31, the next step was to backtrack that number in the carrier’s records and find all other dates the call appeared in the same geographic area.”
He then went on to say, “January 11th and 24th are likely dates before the phone appeared.” The legal expert further suggested that this may be why the FBI wanted the footage from those dates.
“The bureau is aware of a device in the area,” Cummings said, adding that they needed “visual confirmation and a description of the person carrying the device.” Cummings said the FBI “can match this sighting to the cellular data it already has and build a case that can be presented to a grand jury.”
“That also explains why no arrests have been made. The FBI has a phone number. But the phone may not have a name attached to it yet,” he added.
