Authorities on Monday gave two updates on the search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie. First, Guthrie’s family—which includes “all siblings and spouses”—have been ruled out as suspects, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Monday. “The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.” Secondly, Nanos told CBS News that investigators have reason to believe that the suspect’s clothing and mask, as seen in doorbell footage from the morning of Guthrie’s disappearance, were bought from Walmart. The black Ozark Trail Hiker backpack belonging to the suspect was sold exclusively at that store, CBS News also reported. Walmart has been pulling online and in-store sales records for that item, and police are reviewing security footage. The FBI provided a bit more detail about the suspect last week: “a male, approximately 5’9” - 5’10″ tall, with an average build." DNA testing on a black glove found near Guthrie’s home is underway. Guthrie was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home on Feb. 1.
