Authorities are expected to release a surveillance photo showing a potential subject in the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “TODAY” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, according to two senior law enforcement officials.
The photo could be released as soon as this afternoon, the senior law enforcement officials said.
Guthrie’s family reported the 84-year-old missing around noon on Feb. 1 after she did not show up for virtual church services. She was last seen the previous night, around 9:45 p.m., after having dinner at her daughter Annie’s home in Tucson, Arizona, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
Guthrie’s disappearance set off a desperate search involving state and federal law enforcement officers.
Three news outlets have said they received a ransom note referencing Guthrie. NBC News has reviewed a copy of the note, and the contents are consistent with the descriptions provided by the FBI and those news outlets. No law enforcement agency has so far substantiated the note.
