  • Authorities are analyzing cellphone and surveillance data, and using AI tools while urging the public to share tips and Ring videos to the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 351-4900.
  • Guthrie's limited mobility and urgent medication needs mean a timely recovery is critical, Pima County officials said, while Savannah Guthrie was absent from 'Today' and family urged prayers and community help.
