Police activity is underway near a residence in Tucson, Arizona, connected to the search for Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of US news anchor Savannah Guthrie, according to BBC World. Armed police teams were seen at the location, approximately two miles from Guthrie's home, with a sheriff's vehicle blocking the road. This development comes nearly two weeks after the 84-year-old disappeared from her home in the middle of the night. Authorities believe she was taken against her will, and investigators found DNA at Guthrie's address that did not belong to her or anyone close to her, as reported by BBC World.
The sheriff's department announced "law enforcement activity" was ongoing, according to BBC World. The search for Guthrie has intensified since her disappearance.
