Detectives searching for the kidnapped mother of a top US TV news anchor said Thursday blood discovered on her doorstep belonged to the missing 84-year-old woman, in the latest twist in a case that has gripped America. Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC News "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie, is believed to have been kidnapped from her home in Tucson, Arizona, some time on Saturday night or Sunday morning, sparking a massive hunt and a race against time to find her. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told a packed press conference that initial DNA tests on droplets of blood found at the entrance to Nancy Guthrie's house reveal it is hers. But four days after her disappearance, he admitted detectives were no closer to finding who was responsible for the woman's abduction. "Everybody's still a suspect in our eyes," Nanos said. Guthrie's disappearance has garnered wall-to-wall coverage in US media, with dozens of reporters and camera crews descending on the quiet Arizona suburb where she lives. President Donald Trump said Wednesday he had ordered "ALL Federal Law Enforcement to be at the family's, and Local Law Enforcement's, complete disposal, IMMEDIATELY." On Thursday, his press spokeswoman opened her daily press briefing with the subject. Sheriff Nanos gave the first detailed timeline of events after Guthrie was dropped off at her home at 9:48pm Saturday. At "that time we assume that Nancy's home and going to bed," he said. "At 1:47 am the doorbell camera disconnects. "2:12 am, software detects a person on a camera, but there's no video available. "2:28 am Nancy's pacemaker app shows that it was disconnected from the phone." At that point, the trail went cold, Nanos said.
