New Tech in Search for Savannah Guthrie's Mother

Time is running out in the desperate search for the elderly mother of TV host Savannah Guthrie, and law enforcement is relying on new surveillance technology to find her, media report.

Investigators are studying recordings from neighbors« security cameras but found that Nancy Guthrie»s personal doorbell camera had been removed by the time they arrived on Sunday, February 1.

Nancy Guthrie has not been seen since Saturday evening. A large-scale search is underway for the 84-year-old woman, who depends on daily medication. She was last seen at home around 9:45 p.m. on Saturday. When she did not go to church the next morning, she was reported missing. Her wallet, phone, and car were found at home, but she was not.

Now investigators hope that the numerous cameras in the area will provide clues. In a media interview, criminal law expert Kevin Hale said that technologies such as home video surveillance systems have become an important tool for investigators.

According to him, they are checking cameras in neighboring homes, as well as business cameras and traffic cameras in the Tucson suburb where Nancy lives. This allows them to track suspicious vehicles and establish a timeline of events.

Nancy«s personal devices are also shedding light on the situation. According to media reports, her pacemaker stopped syncing with her smart watch, which alarmed searchers. Data show that synchronization stopped around 2 a.m. on Sunday, which may indicate the time of the alleged kidnapping.

Nancy lives in an expensive home in the prestigious Catalina Foothills area. Preliminary data indicate that the light in the common area was on and the front door was unlocked, but there were signs of forced entry. Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that they believe she was forced to leave her home against her will, and possibly more than one person was involved.

DNA analysis from the scene may take days, so a $2,500 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest. The sheriff emphasized that he does not believe Nancy was targeted because of her daughter«s money and fame, but that possibility is not ruled out.
