Nancy Guthrie, 84, was kidnapped from her Tucson home on 1 February, and more than two months on, investigators in Arizona and the FBI are still hunting for answers, as experts point to a 'specialised skill set' used by her kidnappers to slip through a neighbourhood packed with cameras.
Guthrie is the mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, and her disappearance has unfolded in full view of the American media. Detectives from the Pima County Sheriff's Department quickly ruled out the idea that she had simply wandered off. Search and rescue teams were dispatched, and when early checks found no sign of the pensioner, homicide detectives were called in to examine the Tucson property in greater detail.
