The Guthrie family has requested police presence at Nancy Guthrie’s home.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department shared Sunday that they would maintain a presence at the missing 84-year-old’s Tuscon, Ariz., home as they continue to search for her.
“At the request of the Guthrie family, PCSD will maintain a presence at Nancy Guthrie’s residence for security,” the statement reads on X. “Media & the public are reminded to follow all traffic & private property laws.”
“No trespassing is allowed on the Guthrie property,” the statement continues. “Violations are subject to enforcement.”
Cops were seen searching a septic tank behind Nancy’s home on Sunday.
Drone footage showed three officers opening a manhole cover in the backyard at the back of the house and sticking a long pole inside.
However, officers left the septic tank search empty-handed. No further information has been released on what specifically they were looking for.
No suspects have been named in the ongoing investigation into Nancy’s disappearance as the search entered its eighth day Sunday.
Nancy was last seen on Jan. 31 by by her daughter Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, who dropped her off after dinner with him and Annie.
Authorities were spotted conducting a late-night search of Annie and Cioni’s home in Tucson on Saturday, reportedly taking photographs until around 10:30 p.m. MT.
Pima Country Sheriff’s Department told Page Six in a statement Sunday, “This remains an active and ongoing investigation. Detectives and agents continue to conduct follow-up at multiple locations.
“Details of that follow-up are not being released at this time. Investigators have not identified any suspects, persons of interest, or vehicles connected to this case.”
Savannah took to social media Saturday evening alongside Annie and their brother, Camron, to issue another emotional plea to her mother’s alleged kidnappers, in which she also offered to pay the ransom.
Tucson’s ABC affiliate KGUN9 reported the potential kidnappers demanded the Guthrie family pay $6 million in bitcoin by the deadline of Monday, Feb. 9 at 5 p.m. MT.
“We received your message and we understand,” the “Today” anchor said in a video posted to social media.
“We beg you now to return our mother to us, so that we can celebrate with her,” she added. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”
Former CIA officer and FBI special agent Tracy Walder told Page Six that Savannah, who is the only one who spoke in the new video, looked “defeated” and not “hopeful” in her second video to the alleged kidnappers.
But retired FBI agent Jason Pack also weighed in on the video, telling Page Six that he believes the family “is responding as if their mother is alive and being held.”
“Savannah could’ve said a lot of things. She said she wants to ‘celebrate’ with her mother,” he noted. “Now, you don’t use that word by accident when your mama’s been missing for a week. That’s a family telling whoever’s on the other end of this, ‘We’re not out for blood; we just want her back.’ That’s about as graceful as a human being can be under that kind of pressure.”
