Investigators working<\/a> on the disappearance of \u201cToday\u201d show host Savannah Guthrie\u2019s<\/a> mother are consulting with Walmart management to develop leads because a backpack the suspect was wearing is sold exclusively at the stores, the Pima County, Arizona, sheriff said Monday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nancy Guthrie<\/a>, 84, was last seen at her Arizona home on Jan. 31 and was reported missing the following day. Authorities say her blood was found on the front porch. Purported ransom notes<\/a> were sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Federal Bureau of Investigation<\/a> released surveillance videos<\/a> of a masked person wearing a handgun holster outside Guthrie\u2019s front door in Tucson the night she vanished. A porch camera recorded video<\/a> of a person with a backpack who was wearing a ski mask, long pants, a jacket and gloves.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Pima Count Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a text message to The Associated Press on Monday that the 25-liter \u201cOzark Trail Hiker Pack\u201d backpack was the only clothing item that has been \u201cdefinitively identified.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis backpack is exclusive to Walmart and we are working with Walmart management to develop further leads,\u201d Nanos said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The suspect\u2019s clothing \u201cmay have been purchased from Walmart but is not exclusively available at Walmart,\u201d the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department said in a statement Monday. \u201cThis remains a possibility only.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Investigators on Sunday<\/a> announced that a glove discovered near the Guthrie home has been sent for DNA testing. The FBI<\/a> said that it received preliminary results Saturday and was awaiting official confirmation. The development comes as law enforcement gathers more potential evidence<\/a> and as the search for Guthrie\u2019s mother heads into its third week. Authorities previously said they had not identified a suspect.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The FBI said the suspect in the surveillance footage is a man about 5 feet, 9 inches tall with a medium build.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Nanos said on Monday that members of Guthrie\u2019s family, including siblings and spouses, are not suspects.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case,\u201d Nanos said in a statement.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Authorities have expressed concern about Nancy Guthrie\u2019s health because she needs vital daily medicine. She is said to have a pacemaker and have dealt with high blood pressure and heart issues, according to sheriff\u2019s dispatcher audio on broadcastify.com.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.celebrity.land \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Investigators working on the disappearance of \u201cToday\u201d show host Savannah Guthrie\u2019s mother are consulting with Walmart management to develop leads because a backpack the suspect was wearing is sold exclusively at the stores, the Pima County, Arizona, sheriff said Monday.
