Investigators investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie have questioned residents in her neighborhood about any internet disruptions they may have experienced on the night she went missing. Both the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI were seen going door to door in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood in Tucson, Arizona, asking individuals about their internet connectivity.
A few homeowners revealed to NBC News that agents specifically inquired about any issues with their internet service on the night Guthrie vanished. These homeowners shared that agents mentioned several people in the area reported experiencing glitches with their internet that same night.
While the FBI and sheriff’s department have not confirmed the reported internet problems or explained why they are pursuing this line of questioning, Sheriff Chris Nanos mentioned that his team, along with the FBI, is exploring all possibilities related to the case.
The three homeowners who spoke to NBC News mentioned that they were either asleep or not home during that time and were unable to confirm if they encountered any internet troubles.
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for over a month now, with no official suspects or persons of interest named in her disappearance. She was last seen on January 31 after having dinner with her daughter Annie Guthrie.
Authorities suspect a kidnapping or abduction, but limited details have been disclosed. Recently, the FBI released doorbell camera footage showing an armed and masked man outside Guthrie’s home on the day she went missing. The individual is described as a suspect, yet has not been identified.
Savannah Guthrie, who has been on leave from her role at the “TODAY” show to support her family in Arizona, visited the studio in New York City on Thursday and intends to return to her position. A spokesperson for the show stated that while she plans to resume her on-air duties, her primary focus currently remains on assisting her family and aiding in Nancy’s safe return.
The Guthrie family announced a $1 million reward on February 24 for any information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie, in addition to rewards offered by the FBI and Crime Stoppers.
