Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen Saturday at her home in Tucson, Arizona. Local authorities say she was abducted and that the disappearance is being treated as a crime.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators are pursuing every tip and lead, and there have been reports of possible ransom notes under consideration. He cautioned that no ransom demand has been confirmed and noted that authorities are coordinating with the FBI as they review information coming in from the public.
Family members reported Nancy Guthrie missing after she did not attend Sunday services, and church members alerted relatives when they did not see her at worship. Deputies said the scene at her residence raised grave concern, and the investigation continues with an emphasis on locating her safely.
Efforts to access surveillance video from the home have not yet yielded results, and officials said it was unclear whether more than one person was involved. While investigators have not ruled out any motive, they stressed that the case remains active and that they are exploring all angles, including potential targeted action.
Community members and the Guthrie family have urged anyone with information to come forward. The case highlights the urgency of missing-person investigations, particularly involving seniors, and authorities are asking the public for patience and tips as the investigation continues.
