Officials are investigating the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her Tucson, Arizona home nearly two weeks ago. The Pima County Sheriff's Department found unidentified DNA at Guthrie's home, not belonging to her or close contacts, and several gloves were discovered, the closest being two miles away. Authorities believe Guthrie was taken against her will. Doorbell camera footage revealed a suspect wearing a distinctive backpack, leading to over 13,000 tips. The FBI has increased the reward for information leading to Guthrie's return to $100,000. Investigators are appealing for more video footage from neighbors and emphasizing the suspect description while not ruling out other possibilities.
