Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood has seen increased police patrols after complaints about vloggers and amateur journalists trespassing.
The area around Nancy Guthrie‘s neighborhood has seen increased activity in recent days.
More than two months after the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie‘s mom in an apparent kidnapping, residents in Nancy Guthrie’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood have complained about vloggers and amateur journalists trespassing, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed to USA TODAY.
“The sheriff recently told residents in the Guthrie neighborhood during a meeting that there have been increased patrols in the area in response to complaints about streamers and citizen journalists possibly trespassing,” the department told USA TODAY in a statement Wednesday, April 15.
The department added that it had also increased patrols near the home of Guthrie’s daughter Annie Guthrie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, for the same reason.
Tucson, Arizona-based NBC affiliate KVOA reported Monday, April 13, that the department had attended a recent homeowners’ association meeting to address the complaints, after a YouTuber had been “harassing” the Guthries’ neighbors.
Has Nancy Guthrie been found?
Nancy Guthrie has not been found. Law enforcement officials have emphasized that the search for the 84-year-old remains an active investigation, although public announcements about new developments have dried up as of late.
She has not been seen since Saturday, Jan. 31, with her family reporting she was missing the following morning. She regularly gathered with friends and neighbors to watch church service online, but on that Sunday morning, when she did not show up to a friend’s home, they called her daughter Annie, who lives nearby, a source close to the family told NBC News.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said they believe she was taken from her home against her will.
Savannah Guthrie returned to work at the “Today” show on Monday, April 6. She and her family have continued to urge fans and the public to reach out to authorities with any relevant information.
“We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater Southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding a resolution in this case,” the Guthrie family said in a statement released on March 21. “Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant.”
Law enforcement asks anyone with information to contact 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department (520-351-4900) or 88-CRIME.
