Law enforcement officials investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, have sealed off a road near her home in Arizona. The activity, which occurred late Friday night, is part of the ongoing probe into Guthrie's whereabouts, according to authorities.
Details of the Roadblock and Investigation
The roadblock was set up approximately 2 miles (3.2 kilometers) from Nancy Guthrie's residence in the Tucson area.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department confirmed that this activity is related to the Guthrie investigation but declined to provide specific details about the operation or any new developments.
Background on Nancy Guthrie's Disappearance
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1. Authorities have revealed that her blood was found on the front porch of her home, raising concerns about foul play. In a troubling twist, purported ransom notes were sent to news outlets, though two deadlines for payment have now passed without resolution. The investigation remains active, with law enforcement treating it as a high-priority case due to the high-profile nature of the family involved.
The roadblock near her home suggests that investigators are focusing on the immediate vicinity, possibly gathering evidence or conducting searches. The involvement of both local sheriff's departments and federal FBI agents underscores the seriousness of the case and the resources being allocated to solve it.
As the investigation continues, authorities are urging the public to come forward with any information that might assist in locating Nancy Guthrie. The community remains on edge, hoping for a breakthrough in this distressing disappearance.
