More than a month after 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie , was abducted from her Arizona home, the sheriff handling the case has revealed more details, and said he believes the kidnapper could strike again.

"Don't think for a minute that because it happened to the Guthrie family, you're safe. No, keep your wits about you," he continued. “From day one, we had some strong beliefs about what happened, and those beliefs haven't diminished,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told "NBC Nightly News" on Thursday, 12 March.

Nancy Guthrie kidnapping

Nancy Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 PM (local time) on Saturday, 31 January, after being dropped home by a family member. When she failed to attend church Sunday morning, another churchgoer alerted the family, prompting a welfare check and a 911 call around noon.

An exhaustive search for both her and her abductor has since swept across Arizona, while the Guthrie family has released direct pleas to the suspect, mentioned a report by USA Today.

"We believe we know why he did this, and we believe that it was targeted," Nanos told NBC correspondent Liz Kreutz on Thursday. “We're not 100% sure of that, so it would be silly to tell people, 'Yeah, don't worry about it, you're not a target'” he added.

Nanos also told NBC that they're looking into a potential Wi-Fi jammer being used to interrupt Guthrie's internet service the night of the crime.

A deceased person was discovered in southeast Tucson on Thursday as law enforcement continues the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who went missing on 1 February.
