Investigators open manhole cover as search for Nancy Guthrie continues

Investigators pulled off a manhole cover, apparently for a septic tank or similar system, atย Nancy Guthrie’s house on Feb. 8 as they continued pushing for new evidence in her disappearance.

Fox Newsย andย ABC 15 reportersย posted on the investigators’ work as the search for the 84-year-old mom of “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie stretched into its eighth day with little new information.

Pima County Sheriffโ€™s Department spokesperson Angelica Carrillo said she could not confirm details of the activity, adding that detectives and agents were continuing follow-up work and that no information about those efforts was being released because the investigation was active.

The investigation has yielded few publicly disclosed developments sinceย Guthrieโ€™s disappearance more than a week ago.

Car after car lined Nancy Guthrieโ€™s street as more than a dozen journalists waited for activity at Guthrieโ€™s home. They huddled under the shade offered by the thin branches of palo verde and mesquite trees in the neighborhood.

At the Guthrie family’s request, authorities had tightened security at the residence. Sheriffโ€™s vehicles sat outside the home throughout the day.

โ€œAt the request of the Guthrie family, PCSD will maintain a presence at Nancy Guthrieโ€™s residence for security,โ€ the departmentย said on X.
