Authorities searching for Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, are opening up about a key detail in their investigation.
Tucson, Arizona, police previously requested security footage from before Nancy Guthrie's Jan. 31 disappearance, including possible video from Jan. 11, Guthrie's neighbors told NBC News earlier this month.
In a statement released Sunday, March 22, Savannah Guthrie and her family also mentioned the Jan. 11 date when asking Tucson residents for their help in collecting evidence in the case. "No detail is too small. It may be the key," the statement read.
During a segment on the "Today" show Monday, NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz shared that Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos explained the significance of the January date and why authorities made the footage request to Nancy Guthrie's neighbors.

The sheriff said Google initially told investigators that a surveillance image of the suspect in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, a masked man who was seen in Guthrie's front entrance, was from Jan. 11. The date is 20 days before Guthrie was allegedly abducted from her home.
But Nanos said the tech giant later "retracted" its statement on the surveillance footage, adding that Google told police it could not "definitively peg the photo to that day." Per NBC News, Google and the FBI have not commented on the timeline of Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.
Nancy Guthrie, who has been described by her family as in fragile health, was last seen Jan. 31 after being dropped off at her Arizona home following a dinner with family. She was reported missing the following day when a friend alerted her family. Authorities have said they believe she was taken against her will.

On Feb. 10, FBI Director Kash Patel released several surveillance photos and videos on X of a masked man standing at Nancy Guthrie's front door before her disappearance, offering the first major glimpse at a suspect in the case.
The photos showed an "armed" man, later described as "approximately 5'9"-5'10" tall, with an average build," approaching Guthrie's front door camera. Media reports later emerged that the images were seemingly taken on two different days, but the Pima County Sheriff's Department said in a Feb. 23 statement that the surveillance photos had no date or time stamp associated with them.

Savannah Guthrie's family pleads for 'renewed attention' on mother's disappearance
Savannah Guthrie took to Instagram on Sunday with the first posts to her grid in several weeks, sharing an image of a religious painting, bearing the words, "I believe, I believe."
Guthrie did not add a caption to the post, which received a flood of support in the comments from fans and colleagues. "I believe," wrote "Today" cohost Carson Daly.
Earlier in the day, Guthrie also shared the latest statement from her family, which was previously provided to the Arizona station KVOA-News 4 Tucson. They asked for "renewed attention" to the case and urged the public to consult "camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance."
"We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater Southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding a resolution in this case," the Guthrie family said. "Someone knows something. It's possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant."
