Authorities desperately searching for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, have “recovered several items of evidence,” according to a new statement.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department noted Thursday that all evidence, including the suspicious black glove found Wednesday, are being “submitted for analysis … as part of the investigative process.”

The Post was first to report news of the glove, which the FBI discovered on a dirt path near Nancy’s house.

Officials are anticipating a “higher presence of law enforcement activity going forward” in the area as they “continue to follow up on viable leads throughout the community … as more leads come in” regarding the 84-year-old’s disappearance.

Nancy was reported missing from her Tucson, Ariz., home, where she lived alone, on Feb. 1.

Her residence, which showed signs of forced entry, was treated as a crime scene, with the FBI ultimately joining local investigators in the hunt.

Officials’ last press conference was on Feb. 5, with a $50,000 reward offered for “information leading to the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of anyone involved in her disappearance” at the time.

Sheriff Chris Nanos noted that they were “actively looking at everyone” as a suspect while trying to find the matriarch, who was abducted from her home in the middle of the night.

On Tuesday, the first look at Nancy’s purported captor was released via black-and-white doorbell camera clips.

The armed and masked individual could be seen approaching Nancy’s front door and seemingly tampering with her camera in the chilling footage.

Since the photos and videos began circulating online, investigators have received an avalanche of tips.

Savannah’s NBC colleague Liz Kreutz revealed Thursday that neighbors have been asked to hand over footage from their own doorbell cameras during two specific time frames — between 9 p.m. and midnight on Jan. 11, as well as between 9:30 and 11 a.m. on Jan. 31.

Additionally, Kreutz reported that neighbors had been questioned about their vehicles, specifically whether they “have a truck.”

The FBI, who erected a white tent outside Nancy’s house on Thursday, are reportedly collecting DNA from hired workers around the home as they try to track down the suspect.

Meanwhile, Savannah and her siblings — sister Annie Guthrie and brother Camron Guthrie — have repeatedly pleaded via social media with the person sending ransom letters, the legitimacy of which have yet to be verified, demanding $6 million in Bitcoin for Nancy’s return.

Page Six hears the family members have not been given any proof of life.

An additional Bitcoin request made headlines on Wednesday, with an individual requesting 1 Bitcoin to release information about Nancy’s alleged abductor. A second Bitcoin demand — sent from the same individual — made headlines on Thursday.
