An active SWAT operation is unfolding in Pima County, Arizona, near Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood, in connection to her disappearance, News Nation reports on Friday night.
Newsweek reached out to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department via email Friday night for comment.
Why It Matters
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for 13 days. The disappearance and search have sparked nationwide attention. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said items at the scene indicate that the 84-year-old woman did not leave “on her own.”
What To Know
According to NewsNation, SWAT centered in on a home, ordered two people out and they complied. The home is now being searched. The area blocked off by police is about 1.9 miles from Guthrie’s home, NewsNation reports.
A Pima County Sheriff’s Department plane was in the air on Friday, NewsNation says, about the time a mobile command center was spotted leaving the department.
Also on Friday, TMZ said it received a new email from a man claiming to know the identity of Nancy Guthrie’s kidnapper. The email says the person wants the $100,000 FBI reward in two separate bitcoin transactions and will reveal “the name of the main individual.”
