FBI seizes vehicle in search for missing Nancy Guthrie

Police in Arizona investigating the disappearance of TV host Savannah Guthrie’s mother have seized a vehicle from a parking lot and sealed off a road near Nancy Guthrie’s home.

A parade of sheriff’s and FBI vehicles, including forensics vehicles, passed through the roadblock that was set up about two miles from the house.

The restaurant is just over two miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home. This took place at the same time the sheriff’s office closed the road just north of the Guthrie home.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said the activity was part of the Guthrie case.

The department confirmed on Saturday that a federal court-ordered search warrant was executed at the home on Friday in connection with the Guthrie case. The warrant was based on a lead the agency had received. No arrests were made.

A traffic stop was also conducted, and while someone was questioned, no arrests were made, the sheriff’s office said.

No additional information was released on Saturday.

Authorities have expressed concerns over Ms Guthrie’s health because she needs daily medication. She is said to have a pacemaker and has high blood pressure and heart issues, according to officials.

The FBI said it has collected more than 13,000 tips since February 1. The sheriff’s department said it has taken at least 18,000 calls.

On Tuesday, authorities released footage showing an armed, masked person at Ms Guthrie’s doorstep on the night she was abducted.

The videos – less than a combined minute in length – gave investigators and the public their first glimpse of who was outside Ms Guthrie’s home in the foothills outside Tucson.
