TUCSON, ARIZONA: The FBI returned to the home of Nancy Guthrie on Wednesday, February 25, in what sources described as a final sweep of the property before it is handed back to her family.
Agents reportedly spent more than two hours at the Tucson residence of the 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, collecting any remaining material that could aid the investigation.
