The search continues for Savannah Guthrie’s kidnapped mother … and law enforcement in Arizona is recapping what they know so far about Nancy Guthrie’s abduction.

DNA evidence from Nancy’s home has been collected and sent for testing … though nothing has been found that would point to a person of interest.

Detectives believe Nancy was taken against her will in the middle of the night … but they aren’t saying if she suffered any injuries … though we’ve seen video of blood on her front porch.
Nancy’s home had surveillance cameras — some of which appear to have been removed — and detectives are working with the family and home-security companies to “determine the number of cameras and whether any footage is available.”
