A search is currently ongoing for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who is the mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. Nancy disappeared from her residence on January 31, and authorities are treating the case as a potential abduction.
Savannah recently addressed her mother’s disappearance on Instagram, expressing gratitude for the outpouring of support and prayers. She emphasized the power of unity, love, and hope in facing such challenging times.
During a press briefing, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced that Nancy’s home has been identified as a crime scene following a thorough investigation. The community is urged to assist in providing any relevant information to aid in locating Nancy.
Nancy was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona, home on Saturday night. Concerningly, personal belongings including her purse, keys, and phone were found inside the residence, indicating a possible abduction as her car was also left behind.
It has been highlighted that Nancy requires daily medication, which was left untouched at her home. The absence of her medication poses a serious risk to her well-being. Sheriff Nanos stressed the urgency of finding Nancy due to her medical needs.
Despite Nancy’s physical limitations, authorities affirm that she is mentally sharp and did not disappear voluntarily. The involvement of the FBI in the search underscores the gravity of the situation, with evidence suggesting foul play.
Sheriff Nanos emphasized that the circumstances surrounding Nancy’s disappearance are suspicious, ruling out the possibility that she left on her own. The involvement of homicide investigators further intensifies the search efforts to locate Nancy swiftly.
