Investigators in Arizona presume the missing elderly mother of popular US television news host Savannah ‍Guthrie is “still out there” alive four days after she was abducted from her home but no suspect has been identified, authorities said on Thursday.Police and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) officials said they have intensified their search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, and called in special forensic units, as a Thursday evening deadline set in a purported ransom note delivered to media outlets crept near.Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when she was dropped ⁠off at her home near Tucson by family members after having dinner with them and she was reported missing at around noon the following day, according to authorities.Because her mobility is limited, Nancy Guthrie could not have left her home unassisted, leading investigators to conclude early on that she was the victim of a kidnapping.Revealing news from the investigation at a press conference on Thursday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed reports that DNA tests determined that blood found on the porch steps at the entrance to the home came from Nancy Guthrie.A timeline compiled by investigators showed ‍that her doorbell camera was disabled and her pacemaker app disconnected from her phone line about half an hour later in the predawn hours of Sunday morning, when she presumably was kidnapped.
