Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says he's "still positive" the Nancy Guthrie case will be resolved as investigators continue to dig through evidence more than 25 weeks after her home invasion abduction in Tucson, Arizona.
"We have so much DNA to sort through," Nanos said in an interview aired on "Today."
Guthrie is the 84-year-old mother of one of the show's co-hosts, Savannah Guthrie.
"We have so much, in terms of video evidence, to look at," Nanos added. "So I'm still positive that we're here to resolve this case."
The sheriff's remarks came hours after Savannah Guthrie released a new video plea to her mother's abductors on Instagram, urging them to "make the right choice" and tell the family where to look for her.
A federal source told Fox News Monday that Guthrie consulted with law enforcement before releasing the video.
