Authorities looking for Nancy Guthrie conducted an operation at a residence near her home late Friday, as the hunt for the missing 84-year-old mother of 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie neared the end of its second week. The Pima County Sheriff's Department said the operation was related to the investigation, but declined to provide further details, citing a request from the FBI.

Why it matters

The search for Nancy Guthrie has drawn intense media attention and prompted a show of support from President Donald Trump, but has yielded few developments so far. Her family has pleaded for her safe return, as authorities believe she did not leave her home on her own due to her health condition.

The details

The sheriff's department said several gloves had been found during the investigation, the closest of which were two miles from Nancy Guthrie's home. All collected evidence has been submitted for laboratory analysis. The FBI has increased its reward to $100,000 for any information leading to Guthrie's location or the arrest of anyone involved in her disappearance. The agency has also released images and video showing a masked figure with black gloves who appeared to have tampered with the camera at Guthrie's front door the morning of her disappearance.

• On February 1, Guthrie's family reported her missing around noon, after she spent the previous evening with her other daughter, Annie.
• On February 14, authorities conducted an operation at a residence near Guthrie's home in Tucson, Arizona.
