The sheriff in charge of theNancy Guthrie abduction caseis offering new details about the significance of Jan. 11 in the investigation.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos previously said local authorities and the FBI were seeking surveillance footage from Jan. 11, after Google initially indicated a key image showed a suspect without a backpack. He later clarified that the date of the image could not be confirmed.
In a new interview with local Tucson, Ariz., stationKOLD, Nanos said Jan. 11 was still a date investigators were looking into.
"We do believe that something occurred on Jan. 11 and that's with the FBI's analysis of the equipment and digital stuff they've done," Nanos told KOLD.
He added that the interest in the date remains speculative and would not share any evidence the investigators have which explains the significance of that date.
Nanos also confirmed that the investigation into Nancy's disappearance remains ongoing almost two months afterSavannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother was taken from her home.
"We have so much in front of us. And we believe we have good evidence in front of us," Nanos said. "Will that dry up? Could I be wrong? Absolutely. Anything is possible, but we're not giving up."
