Savannah Guthrie: 'We are blowing on the embers of hope'

Volunteers have launched their own searches in the dense desert near Savannah Guthrie’s Tucson home, but the Sheriff’s Department has asked for space to let investigators do their job.

Officials are urging caution over reports that a suspect in Nancy Guthrie's abduction was previously seen at her Tucson home, calling the claims unsubstantiated.

Legal experts and local law enforcement officials are questioning why the Pima County Sheriff's Department released Nancy Guthrie’s home back to her family just 20 hours after she went missing. With a trail of blood still visible and delivery drivers accessing the porch, observers warn that the failure to maintain a secure scene could create "self-inflicted wounds" for prosecutors and provide a goldmine for future defense attorneys seeking to establish reasonable doubt.
