The family of Nancy Guthrie are not suspects in her kidnapping, the sheriff has confirmed.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said her family, including “all siblings and spouses”, had been cooperative and gracious as authorities investigated the kidnapping.

Mr Nanos said: “To ​suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims plain and simple.”

It comes as the case involving the mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie entered its third week.

On Sunday, investigators said they had obtained a DNA sample from a glove found near the Arizona home of Nancy, 84, which appears to match the pair worn by a masked prowler seen in doorbell camera footage before she was abducted.

Nancy was last seen on 31 January when her family dropped her off at her home near Tucson following dinner with them.

Relatives reported her missing the following day, authorities said.

Mr Nanos added that Nancy, who has a pacemaker, was extremely limited in her physical mobility and could not have left her home unassisted, leading investigators to believe she had been taken against her will early on.

Since her disappearance, at least two purported ransom notes have surfaced.

Both were initially delivered to media outlets, but there has been no known direct contact between Ms Guthrie’s presumed captors and her family, or with authorities.

Traces of blood on her front porch were later confirmed by DNA tests to have come from Ms Guthrie, officials said last week.

She is described by law enforcement and family members as being in frail health and in need of daily medication to survive.

Savannah, 54, is co-anchor of the popular NBC show and has shared several video messages along with her brother, Camron Guthrie and sister, Annie Guthrie.

Together, they have been pleading for their mother’s return and are appealing for information from the public.

Mr Nanos said there had been no proof of life since the abduction but added “there’s not been any proof of death either”.

He added that his working assumption is that she remains alive.

A former FBI agent who worked in behavioral analysis told Fox News Digital that Savannah Guthrie’s latest Instagram video was directed towards a suspect who could be an amateur criminal feeling the heat of a now massive investigation. 

Guthrie began the video by saying that after two weeks of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, being missing, she and the rest of the Guthrie family are not giving up. She then made a plea 

“It’s never too late. You are not lost or alone, and it is never too late to do the right thing,” she said in the video. “And we are here. We believe in the essential goodness of every human being. And it’s never too late.”

Jonny Grusing worked in the FBI’s Denver Division for 25 years, investigating violent crimes, missing persons, serial killers and more. He coordinated the behavior analysis unit for the division for 13 of those years. 

He said the FBI is likely behind Guthrie’s messaging. Since Nancy went messing, four videos have been posted to her Instagram. She delivered messages in three of them, the first directed towards a suspect with what Grusing described as an attempt to humanize her mom, the second a plea to bystanders to come forward with information, and Sunday night’s video. 

Grusing does not believe the suspect in Nancy’s case is a sophisticated criminal, and believes that Savannah’s Sunday message was coached by FBI profilers with that in mind to try to get the suspect to turn himself in.

“I think he got in way over his head with whatever happened with Nancy, and they’re hoping that he is panicking enough since his family and friends haven’t turned him in,” said Grusing. “They’re appealing to him directly, like, ‘look, guy, this is not going away, you just need to summon up the courage in any humanity you have left and do it.” 

Drawing on his decades of experience, Grusing noted the signs of the suspect’s amateurishness. The suspect, who was already masked, kept turning his head away from the doorbell camera, and even attempted to obscure the camera’s view with brush pulled from a front garden.

“If you look at him and the awkwardness of this guy walking up there, this guy is not a professional,” Jonny Grusing said. “So I don’t think whatever happened in the house is what he intended to happen. What I would say is that he didn’t plan for this sort of news coverage, for this sort of intense searching, for the FBI to come in and for this to be going on two weeks later.”

He also told Fox News Digital that no matter how long the investigation takes, the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department are committed to seeing through, and that it’s only a matter of time before the suspect is taken into custody.

“He’s going to be arrested. At one point, he’s going to get turned in, something’s going to break. So the SWAT team is going to come through his door, and I think that’s what they’re saying. Even if it’s not [an appeal to] his humanity, he needs to get the courage to turn himself in and be proactive with this.”

“You know, Vivi’s a gymnast — she’s in the gym five days a week … And little Eric is constantly doing sports,” she told Fox News Digital.

“They’re active … they are busy, busy, busy. They don’t sit around on iPads. They’re out there in the wildlife, barefoot and being free.”

“We’ve done family workouts together, [and] we stay active together,” the singer said. “Maybe when we’re on vacation, we’re doing bike rides together, or whether it’s a football game outside or throwing the ball on the beach.”

One sport in particular has become a family favorite.

A family seating mix-up on a recent flight has sparked online debate over whether airlines should guarantee that parents and young children sit together or not.

The dispute began after a passenger shared on X that his wife and two young children were automatically assigned seats in separate rows on a Southwest Airlines flight.

The family did not pay for seat selection, the post noted. Rather, the airline’s system assigned seats individually. 

FLIGHT PASSENGER STANDS FIRM AGAINST ENTITLED SEAT SWAPPER’S DEMANDS: ‘I’M NOT MOVING’

The passenger said his 2-year-old child was placed in a different row from both his mother and sibling, despite indicating during booking that the couple was traveling with children.

The post drew attention, with many commenters criticizing the father for declining to purchase seat selection.

“If you’re so cheap that you refuse to not pay for seat selection, then why didn’t you put the 2-year-old as a lap child?” one user wrote.

“Next time, buy the seats together. It’s that easy,” another added.

Some users also pointed out that separating families on planes can place pressure on other passengers to switch seats to accommodate others. 

“I love kids, but I’d hate to be that passenger who has to move for your family to sit together,” a commenter said.

The post sparked criticism of the father (not pictured) for not paying to select seats — with some saying the perplexing situation could have been avoided. (iStock)

Others, however, argued that airlines should automatically seat young children next to a parent or guardian, particularly when a child’s age is provided during booking.

“All minors should be assigned next to an adult,” one user wrote.

Fox News Digital reached out to Southwest Airlines for comment about the incident.

The situation comes amid changes at Southwest Airlines, which began transitioning to an assigned seating model in January. 

Federal regulations do not currently require airlines to guarantee adjacent seating.

The carrier had long been known for its open seating policy, which allowed passengers to choose any available seat upon boarding.

The U.S. Department of Transportation encourages airlines to seat young children next to a parent or accompanying adult at no additional charge, according to the agency’s website. 

However, federal regulations do not currently require airlines to guarantee adjacent seating.

The department maintains an online dashboard that outlines which carriers commit to seating children age 13 and under next to an accompanying adult without an added fee.

The dashboard shows that Southwest Airlines does not commit to providing fee-free guaranteed adjacent seating.
