Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has shared why investigators have been asking neighbors for footage, specifically from Jan. 11, as the search for Nancy Guthrie enters its eighth week.

Neighbors near Guthrie’s home outside Tucson, Arizona, told NBC News on March 18 that investigators have visited their homes and asked about specific dates, primarily the weekend Nancy disappeared, as well as Jan. 11. The latter date is 20 days before police believe the 84-year-old mother of TODAY’s Savannah Guthrie was forcibly taken from her home. She was reported missing by her family on Feb. 1.

Savannah and her family also shared that Jan. 11 date in a message on March 21 asking for the community’s continued support.

“We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of Jan. 31 and the early morning hours of Feb.1, as well as the late evening of Jan. 11,” they said in a statement.

NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz reported on TODAY March 23 that she spoke with Nanos about the significance of Jan. 11 in the investigation.
