Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has shared the latest in the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, telling NBC News the case has not gone cold.Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the Nancy Guthrie case is far from cold.
As the search for the mother of TODAY's Savannah Guthrie continues after nearly three weeks, the sheriff shared details about surveillance video, DNA testing and the suspect’s gun holster. Nanos spoke with NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz on TODAY Feb. 18 about the latest in the search for Guthrie, whom police believe was abducted from her home in Arizona on Feb. 1.Nanos says DNA found at the scene of Nancy Guthrie's home could potentially belong to the suspect, who was seen "We believe that we may have some DNA there that may be our suspect, but we won't know that until that DNA is separated, sorted out, maybe admitted to CODIS, maybe through genetic genealogy," Nanos said."Now we start with genealogy and some of the partial DNA we have at the home. To me, that's more critical than any glove I found two miles away." DNA analysis of a glove found two miles from Guthrie's home in Tucson did not yield any hits in the FBI's database, and there was no match with what was found at the property, according to Nanos.In the surveillance video taken in front of Nancy Guthrie's front door, the masked suspect can be seen wearing a unique-looking gun holster in an unusual position between his legs. Nanos told Kreutz that authorities have been showing a picture of the holster to local gun shop owners to see if anyone recognizes the suspect or remembers selling the holster. NBC News also spoke to one local gun shop owner who said the FBI visited him with a list of about two dozen pictures.Kreutz also noted that a ring appears to be showing through one of the suspect's gloves in the surveillance footage released by investigators. "I look at the same photo you look at and I get. I see it. I see," Nanos said."People have circled and said . My speculation is, I'm going to give that to my team. They'll look at that. They'll analyze it, and we'll see.""I think this was an individual who had a target for whatever reason, and he has made it tough. But I've got some pretty tough investigators, too," he said.Since authorities released the doorbell camera video of the suspect on Feb. 10, Google is still working on retrieving more footage from other Nest cameras on Guthrie's property, according to Nanos."The way it was described to me is you've got eight layers of paint, and you want to peel down to the sixth layer, but you get to that fifth layer, you might tear the sixth layer," Nanos said."So there it's a delicate operation for them." as possible suspects in the case, while advising online sleuths to not speculate who could be involved in the kidnapping. "This is a family who's lost their mom to a monster," he told Kreutz."We're going to find her, and we're going to find that monster. But come on, we can do better."
