FBI specialists are reportedly testing DNA from a 'rootless hair' sample recovered inside Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home, according to a US reporter, as the case of the missing 84 year old enters a potentially important new phase and outside groups urge Arizona authorities to expand the search.
Guthrie, the mother of Today star Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on 31 January after being dropped at her Catalina Foothills home following dinner with her daughter Annie and son in law Tommaso Cioni. Investigators have said they believe she was taken in the early hours of 1 February in what they have repeatedly described as a targeted abduction. The FBI has said blood found at the scene belonged to Nancy and has released footage of a masked man on her porch, but no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrest has been made.
