Authorities investigating Nancy Guthrie disappearance seal off road

Authorities investigating the disappearance of US TV host Savannah Guthrie's mother sealed off a road near her home late on Friday night.

A parade of cars from the FBI and the sheriff's office, including forensics vehicles, were seen passing through a roadblock set up about two miles from Nancy Guthrie's Arizona house.

Blood from the 84-year-old was previously found on the Tucson-area property's front porch. She was reported missing on 1 February .

Investigators have found several gloves, the nearest of which was discovered some two miles from Ms Guthrie's home, and submitted them for lab analysis, the sheriff's office said.

The department said it had collected DNA from Ms Guthrie's property, which does not belong to the missing OAP, nor those in close contact with her.

Supposed ransom notes have been sent to news outlets, but two deadlines for paying have passed.

Police have said that she has difficulty walking, has a pacemaker, and requires daily medication for a heart condition.

Sorting through such tips is a tremendous amount of work, said Roberto Villasenor, a former Tucson police chief.

"In a situation like this, you really cannot do what's been done without tips and public input," he said. "They have processed the scene. But once that's done and exhausted, it's hard to move forward without additional information coming in."
