Investigators working on the disappearance of “Today” show host
Savannah Guthrie’s mother are consulting with Walmart management to develop leads because a backpack the suspect was wearing is sold exclusively at the stores, the Pima County, Arizona, sheriff said Monday
Pima Count Sheriff Chris Nanos said in a text message to The Associated Press on Monday that the 25-liter “Ozark Trail Hiker Pack” backpack was the only clothing item that has been “definitively identified.”
“This backpack is exclusive to Walmart and we are working with Walmart management to develop further leads,” Nanos said.
The suspect’s clothing “may have been purchased from Walmart but is not exclusively available at Walmart,” the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said in a statement Monday. “This remains a possibility only.”

Detectives hunting for Nancy Guthrie
have been handed their most “promising” lead yet, a former top cop told The Post — after Walmart handed over purchase records that could finally help crack the case.
Investigators are hoping to track down more information about the backpack and gun holster
Guthrie’s alleged kidnapper was seen wearing in doorbell camera footage, both sold at Walmart.
“The backpack and the holster are both very promising leads,” Betsy Brantner Smith of the National Police Association told The Post, speaking from Pima County where she lives, after retiring in 2009 as a detective in Naperville, Ill.
But the former detective warned investigators face a long, meticulous process of combing through thousands of hours of footage from various Walmart stores.
