From Daily Mail: As the hunt for missing Nancy Guthrie approaches its second week, investigators were seen searching a septic tank at her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Sunday.
Footage captured law enforcement using a pole to check inside a manhole behind Nancy’s $1million house, amid mounting fears that time is running out to find the 84-year-old mother of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie alive and well.
Former SWAT team captain Josh Schirard told the Daily Mail: ‘A lot of people forget that having a septic tank means waste water doesn’t go into a city sewer, it goes into the tank.
‘So, somebody may have flushed something thinking that would get rid of it, but instead it would actually just be deposited in the septic tank. It is a possibility that [investigators] are now trying to make sure that there’s nothing in there that could indicate any kind of guilt.’
On Saturday, authorities were also spotted conducting a late-night search in the home of Nancy’s daughter, Annie Guthrie, taking pictures there until around 10:30 pm, NewsNation reported.
An agent was reportedly seen carrying a silver briefcase into the home.
“They were leaving with a Cellebrite [case],” Schirard said. “Cellebrite is a company that specializes in recovering digital forensic evidence. So we use Cellebrite pretty extensively to recover digital evidence from phones, devices, tablets, computers.
“When you delete a picture off your phone, it’s not actually gone. When you delete a picture or a Word document from a hard drive, it’s not actually gone. Cellebrite can go in and pull all this. So text messages, photos, location data, phone calls, all this stuff can be retrieved.
“It’s likely that [police] were possibly looking at some of the family’s devices. And of course it would appear that the family have been incredibly cooperative.”
