LAW enforcement officials have returned to the property of Nancy Guthrie four days after she was abducted from her Arizona home.

Photos captured by The U.S. Sun showed several federal agents accompanying Pima County Sheriff’s officers as they searched the sunbaked woodland near Guthrie’s home on Wednesday afternoon,

Law enforcement officials taped back up the 84-year-old’s house to block access to the property.

The police resurfacing at Guthrie’s home comes days after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said authorities had completed their investigation at the property and had returned it to the family.

The U.S. Sun observed a K9 sniffing through the rugged area surrounding Guthrie’s property.

Federal agents were also seen stepping in and out of Guthrie’s garage.

It’s unclear whether a tip or a new development led Pima County deputies to return to the scene of the crime.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said detectives conducted a “follow-up” at Guthrie’s home.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The U.S. Sun.

A concerned neighbor, who asked not to be named, told The U.S. Sun she was praying for Guthrie’s safe return as she observed federal law enforcement officials canvassing the property on Wednesday.

“I always felt like she was exposed,” the woman said referring to Guthrie.

“Like, how many people knew she lived here because her daughter’s very wealthy. That’s the thing.”

The woman said she last spoke with Guthrie weeks before Pima County police say she was physically taken from her home against her will on Sunday morning.

The neighbor said she returned to her home at around 9:30 pm on Saturday evening, about 15 minutes before authorities said Guthrie was dropped off at her residence by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, the husband of her daughter Annie.

However, the woman did not recall hearing anything of great concern before she went to bed on that evening.

“I heard dogs barking, but we have a lot of coyotes at night, so we hear a lot of barking and whooping from the coyotes that are around the neighborhood,” she added.

“But if it’s something loud, everybody would hear it.”

SAVANNAH’S AGONY

Savannah Guthrie and her elder siblings, Annie and Camron, broke their silence on their mother’s disappearance in a gut-wrenching video on social media.

The siblings were seated together as they pleaded for their mother’s safe return and sent a heartbreaking message to their mom’s alleged kidnappers.

Addressing the online reports about a ransom note from her mother’s alleged kidnappers, the family said they were “ready to talk.”

“We too have heard the reports about a ransom letter in the media. As a family we are doing everything that we can,” Savannah said.

“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated.

“We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive and that you have her.

“We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.

“Please, reach out to us.”

Fighting back tears, the Today co-host, 54, said, “Our mom is our heart, and our home. She’s 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile.

“She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine, she needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer.”

Annie, Savannah’s older sister, added, “We are human, just normal human people who need their mom. Mama, mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”

Meanwhile, Camron, Savannah’s elder brother, said, “We love you, mom. Stay strong.”
