It has now been just over three months since the disappearance and apparent kidnapping of TODAY anchor Savannah Guthrie's mother Nancy Guthrie.

The 84-year-old was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona by her daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso the night of January 31, with images and videos then revealing a masked intruder arriving in the middle of the night.

Since then, the case has received international attention, with Savannah herself taking a two-month leave of absence from NBC to be with her family in Arizona.

Several external investigators, including the FBI, are now collaborating with the local Pima County Sheriff's Department in the investigation, with the latter issuing a new statement on the three-month anniversary of Nancy's disappearance.

In a statement shared with HELLO!, a spokesperson for the department said: "The Pima County Sheriff's Department remains fully committed to the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance."

"This is an active and ongoing investigation, and we continue to work closely with our partners at the FBI," it added, emphasizing the current focus on DNA and analysis of footage. "DNA and video analysis are underway, supported by laboratories across the country. Advances in technology are aiding investigative efforts, and tips continue to be received and reviewed."

They also reiterated the call for further information from the public, especially in the form of tips, which have now gone into the thousands. "We appreciate those who have come forward and urge anyone with credible, actionable information to contact investigators. Even small details may be significant."

"Please contact 88-CRIME or the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI."

During a recent interview with local station KVOA, Sheriff Chris Nanos similarly stated: "The reward money is still there – it's there for a reason. We think somebody out there knows something - we know they do. We know someone out there knows what happened. Call us."

Per the outlet, 360 new tips have come into 88-CRIME over the last month alone, taking the total up to more than 3000 tips so far in the case.

Investigators believe Nancy may have been taken from her home in the early hours of February 1, but no suspect has been publicly identified and no clear sequence of events has been confirmed, outside of the Ring camera footage released by the FBI showing a masked individual.

Concern first began when Nancy failed to attend her usual church service the following morning, something she reportedly watched via livestream from home. Friends raised the alarm, and her daughter Annie Guthrie, unable to reach her mother, went to the house herself.
