More than a month after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona, forensic experts say hope is fading as the search for the 84 year old mother of television presenter Savannah Guthrie drifts into a new phase with no arrest, no named suspect and no clear answer about whether she is still alive.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on 31 January and is believed, according to her daughter, to have been taken from her bed 'in the dark of night'. The case quickly swelled into a national fixation, fuelled by more than 3,000 tips, public pleas from Savannah Guthrie, reported ransom notes, Bitcoin demands and the sort of internet sleuthing that thrives when official updates begin to slow.
