There were a few developments in the search for Nancy Guthrie over Presidents’ Day weekend. Here’s a quick recap:

• Friday night: Authorities swarmed a home on the edge of Nancy Guthrie’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood north of Tucson, Ariz., as they carried out a search warrant. Additionally, a person was questioned during a traffic stop. No arrests were made.

• Sunday: The FBI said in a statement that gloves found about two miles from Guthrie’s home appeared to match the ones worn by the suspect in the doorbell camera footage. The DNA from an unknown male was lifted from one of the recovered gloves, the statement said, and will be entered into the bureau’s national database.

• Sunday night: Savannah Guthrie posted another video to Instagram, pleading with her mother’s apparent abductor. “It is never too late to do the right thing,” she said.

• Monday: Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos released a statement saying that all members of the Guthrie family, including the missing 84-year-old’s adult children and their spouses, have been cleared as suspects. “To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel,” Nanos said. “The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.” The statement came amid ongoing speculation about Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her son-in-law, who police said had dinner with her the night before she was reported missing.

  Sheriff explains why he released statement clearing Guthrie family as suspects

  Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos was asked by NBC News why he decided to release a statement on Monday clearing Nancy Guthrie’s family, including her children and their spouses, as suspects in the case.

  “Because sometimes we forget we’re human and we hurt, and kindness matters,” Nanos said. “It is every cop’s duty to stand up and be that voice for our victims. I’m not going to sit in silence when others are attacking the innocent. Isn’t that what the badge represents?”

  All members of the Guthrie family have been cleared as suspects, sheriff’s department says

  No one in Nancy Guthrie’s family is being considered a potential suspect in her disappearance, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department wrote in a statement Monday afternoon.

  “The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,” the department wrote.

  In the days following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, there had been ample online speculation surrounding her immediate family, with specific rumors centering around her son-in-law. Monday’s statement makes clear that he and all other members of the family are not suspected of being involved.

  Trump threatens death penalty in Nancy Guthrie case if she isn’t returned alive

  President Trump said that he would direct the Department of Justice to seek the “most severe” federal punishment against those responsible for Nancy Guthrie’s apparent abduction if she isn’t returned alive.

  The president made the comments in a phone interview with the New York Post on Monday, more than two weeks after the 84-year-old mother of Today show cohost Savannah Guthrie was reported missing.

  When asked if that meant the death penalty, Trump said, “The most, yeah — that’s true.”

  Savannah Guthrie posts new video: ‘It’s never too late to do the right thing.’

  On Sunday, Savannah Guthrie posted a video on Instagram urging for her mother’s safe return.

  “It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken, and I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope and we still believe,” Guthrie said. “And I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is that it’s never too late, and you’re not lost or alone. It’s never too late to do the right thing.”

  Guthrie added, “We are here, and we believe. We believe in the essential goodness of every human being.”

  DNA of an unknown male found on glove near Nancy Guthrie’s home

  The FBI confirmed to ABC News that the DNA of an unknown male was lifted from a glove that appeared to match the ones worn by the suspect in doorbell camera footage from Nancy Guthrie’s home, taken on the morning she went missing. It was reportedly found about 2 miles away from her house.

  Glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home appears to match those worn by suspect in doorbell camera video

  A glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s home appears to match the gloves worn by the masked person seen in the FBI-released doorbell camera footage, according to multiple news outlets that cited the FBI.

  The glove, which contained DNA, was one of several that investigators found while searching near her home. Most of the gloves belonged to searchers who had discarded them while working in the area, the FBI said.

  “The one with the DNA profile recovered is different and appears to match the gloves of the subject in the surveillance video,” the FBI said in a statement, adding that it’s waiting on final test results from the glove, which could take about 24 hours.

  Why Nancy Guthrie’s case has gripped the attention of the U.S.

  

  As the cohost of Today, Savannah Guthrie’s fame has led to national attention in the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, and significant resources have been dedicated to finding her. But it has also led to rampant speculation and false leads.

  YouTuber Jimmy Williams told the BBC that the speculation only heightens the intrigue of the case. Since Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, his YouTube channel has gained more than 8,000 new subscribers, he said.

  Many who have kept up with the details of the case feel for the Guthrie family and believe that this could happen to anybody’s mother.

  Kelly Himes, who told the BBC that she lives several miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home, felt compelled to visit the growing number of flowers at the end of Nancy’s driveway to offer a prayer.

  “Nancy’s the same age as my mom, the same height as my mom, and she’s got the same hair,” Himes told the BBC. “She lives alone, just like my mom does. This is someone who could be anybody’s mother.”

  No news conferences scheduled for Sunday, sheriff’s department says

  There are currently no planned news conferences scheduled for Sunday, Feb. 15, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department told Yahoo in an email on Sunday morning.

  Authorities attempt to detect Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker using ‘signal sniffer’

  Nancy Guthrie’s pacemaker was disconnected from the accompanying app on her phone just before 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, the same day she was reported missing.

  Authorities are now using a device called a “signal sniffer” mounted on a Pima County Sheriff’s Department helicopter to attempt to detect her pacemaker, NewsNation reported.

  “The helicopter has to stay low and move slowly for it to work,” NewsNation reporter Brian Entin said in a Saturday post on X.

  Former FBI special agent Maureen O’Connell also told NewsNation on Saturday, “With regards to this particular tool … I do know that the pacemaker sends off a very short-distance alert, or whatever, so they’re going to have to get really close.”

  Arizona state rep blasts true crime content creators for doing ‘more harm than good’

  Arizona state Rep. Alma Hernandez, who represents Pima County, blasted “random wannabe journalists and YouTubers” in an X post on Saturday for doing “more harm than good” in the investigation.

  “Let law enforcement do their jobs. Stop following them during swat operations and playing detectives,” she said, adding that she is sick of the “constant LIES” and calling for them to “GO HOME.”

  Search for Nancy Guthrie enters 3rd week

  The search for Nancy Guthrie entered its third week on Sunday. The 84-year-old was last seen on Jan. 31 at her Tucson, Ariz., home and was reported missing by her family on Feb. 1. Here’s what we know so far about the investigation:

  • The FBI shared details about the masked person seen in the doorbell camera footage it released, describing them as 5 feet 9 inches tall with an average build. They were wearing dark clothing, black gloves and sneakers, and had a black 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack.

  • DNA uncovered by forensics teams on Nancy Guthrie’s property that does not match her or anyone close to her is being analyzed at a laboratory, the Pima County sheriff said.

  • Additionally, multiple pieces of evidence collected by investigators, including several gloves, are undergoing forensic analysis. One of the gloves was discovered up to 10 miles from Nancy Guthrie’s home.

  • Authorities have not named a suspect or made any arrests as of Sunday morning.

    • On Feb. 10, law enforcement detained a man for questioning and searched his residence in Rio Rico, Ariz. He was released hours later.

    • No arrests were made on Friday following a law enforcement operation at a residence near Nancy Guthrie’s home.

      Law enforcement swarmed two locations near Guthrie’s home last night

      

      Late Friday, more than a dozen law enforcement vehicles — including SWAT and forensics teams — swarmed a residence on the edge of the Catalina Foothills neighborhood, a short drive from both Nancy Guthrie’s home and the home of her older daughter and son-in-law.

      Multiple roads were closed for about four hours while officers conducted activity “related to the Guthrie case,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department later confirmed on X.

      But despite initially posting that “a written statement” about Friday’s activity would be “forthcoming,” the department ultimately left the scene without explaining why they were there.

      “Because this is a joint investigation, at the request of the FBI — no additional information is currently available,” the department announced.

      Local deputies and FBI investigators also converged on a second scene in the parking lot of a restaurant about five minutes away from the residential neighborhood they had sealed off.

      They were seen investigating and photographing something in the trunk of gray Range Rover. A tow truck eventually hauled the SUV away. It is unclear whether this activity was connected to the Guthrie case.

      Sheriff says no gloves were found at Nancy Guthrie’s home

      

      In an interview with a Fox News reporter on Friday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that the gloves that were recovered by investigators were not found at Nancy Guthrie’s home.

      “We never found a glove on that property,” Nanos said.

      The department said in a statement on Thursday that investigators had “recovered several items of evidence, including gloves,” and that they were being submitted for analysis. It did not say where the items were recovered.

      NBC News incorrectly reported that the gloves were found at Guthrie’s residence. On Friday morning, the network issued a correction, stating that it was not clear where they were found.

      No press briefing scheduled today

      The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said it will not hold a press conference on the Nancy Guthrie case today, saying in a post on X that it would notify the media only “if any significant developments occur.”

      The last official media briefing on the investigation was on Feb. 5.

      Trump: ‘Somebody either knew what they were doing very well, or they were rank amateurs’

      

      Speaking to reporters at the White House on Friday, President Trump was asked why the FBI, which is assisting the Pima County Sheriff’s Department in the investigation into Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, hasn’t taken over the case.

      “It was a local case originally, and they didn’t want to let go of it, which is fine — it’s up to them. It’s really up to the community,” Trump said. “But ultimately, when the FBI got involved, I think, you know, progress has been made.”

      Asked later if he believes the Mexican cartel or a foreign nation was involved in her apparent abduction, the president replied: “You can’t say that yet. It’s a little bit early, but it’s, uh — somebody either knew what they were doing very well, or they were rank amateurs. Either way, it’s not a good situation.”

      Rain showers in the Tucson area could complicate the search for evidence

      There are light rain showers falling in the Tucson, Ariz., area, including in Nancy Guthrie’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood.

      The FBI’s field office in Phoenix told CNN that its agents would continue their investigation “regardless of weather conditions.”

      But any rain could complicate the search for evidence in the desert terrain. However, while forecasters had predicted up to an inch of rain in some areas, the National Weather Service said it now expects “little to no” accumulation this morning.

      Man accused of sending fake ransom note to Guthrie family is released after appearing in federal court

      A California man accused of sending a fake ransom note to the family of Nancy Guthrie appeared in federal court in Tucson, Ariz., on Thursday.

      Derrick Callella, of Hawthorne, Calif., has been charged with “transmitting a demand for ransom in interstate commerce, and without disclosing his identity, utilizing a telecommunications device with intent to abuse, threaten or harass a person,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for District of Arizona announced in a press release.

      According to prosecutors, Callella sent text messages to Nancy Guthrie’s daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, asking about a bitcoin transaction moments after the Guthrie family released their first video message addressing Nancy Guthrie’s apparent kidnapper.

      Callella made an initial appearance in federal court in Santa Ana, Calif., last week and was released on $20,000 bond.

      He was granted release on Thursday under multiple conditions — including no contact with any victims or witnesses and having all of his devices monitored — as he awaits trial.
