Law enforcement continues to scramble for leads in the ongoing investigation into the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Authorities said Wednesday that no suspect or person of interest has yet been identified in the Arizona case, which is being treated as a criminal matter.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

At the same time, fresh details are surfacing about the alleged ransom note.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Law enforcement continues to scramble for leads in the disappearance of 84-year-old\u00a0Nancy Guthrie<\/a>, mother of NBC\u2019s \u201cToday\u201d show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe do believe that Nancy was taken from her home against her will, and that\u2019s where we\u2019re at,\u201d Nanos said Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

When asked whether more than one person might have been involved, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos replied, \u201cNo clue.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

At the same time, new information is emerging about a purported\u00a0ransom note<\/a>. TMZ and a Tucson TV station reported receiving notes demanding millions in Bitcoin for Nancy\u2019s return, which they forwarded to the sheriff\u2019s office.<\/p>\n

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed investigators are taking the note seriously, though its authenticity has not been verified.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\u201cWhen the note comes to us, it\u2019s like any piece of evidence. You give it to us. You give us a lead. We\u2019re going to look at every aspect of that lead and work it as a lead,\u201d Nanos told CBS News.<\/p>\n

Asked if the note was being dismissed, he replied: \u201cAbsolutely not.\u201d<\/p>\n

The note reportedly included chilling details about Nancy\u2019s Tucson home and what she was wearing the night she vanished.<\/p>\n

Nanos would not confirm whether these details matched the crime scene, where investigators found blood drops and signs of forced entry.<\/p>\n

Investigators have reviewed the note and shared it with Savannah Guthrie. \u201cThe entire note,\u201d Nanos said, when asked what aspects were considered credible. DNA samples from Guthrie\u2019s home have also been submitted for testing.<\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve gotten some (results) back, but nothing to indicate any suspects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Speaking directly to the alleged kidnapper(s), Nanos issued a stark warning:<\/p>\n

\u201cThe clock is literally ticking. You\u2019ve placed her in great jeopardy without giving her meds that are critical to her. Again, like I\u2019ve said, could be fatal if she doesn\u2019t get those meds.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Savannah Guthrie, who has been with NBC News for nearly two decades, has canceled her trip to Italy to cover the Winter Olympics in order to focus on the search for her mother.<\/p>\n

As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, executives at\u00a0Today<\/em>\u00a0have reportedly ramped up security at the show\u2019s 30 Rockefeller Plaza studio.<\/p>\n

The precautionary move comes amid heightened concern, multiple sources told the\u00a0U.S. Sun<\/em>\u00a0on Tuesday, February 3. \u201cThings are tense at the studio, and that as a result, NBC has stepped up security for on-air talent,\u201d one source said. \u201cNBC has partnered with the NYPD to make sure their staff remains safe, out of an abundance of caution.\u201d<\/p>\n
