Authorities are actively searching for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie, after she was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona home over the weekend. According to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos, time is critical as Montgomery requires daily medication for her health.
Last seen at her home on Saturday night, her family reported her missing the following day when she failed to attend church. Using drones and search dogs, initial search efforts were substantial, but by Monday, the focus shifted to a crime scene investigation as signs of forced entry were discovered.
Investigators confirmed specific evidence indicating a nighttime abduction, but the motive remains unclear. Several belongings belonging to Guthrie, including her cellphone, wallet, and car, were left behind, creating further intrigue around her disappearance. Authorities are also examining surveillance footage and license plate data, but have not yet identified any suspects.
Savannah Guthrie, who has returned to Arizona to aid in the search, made a heartfelt plea on social media for prayers and support from the community. She expressed hope that collective prayer might help in locating her mother. Understanding the psychological toll of such a disappearance, Guthrie emphasized the special bond they’ve shared, especially following the death of her father when she was young.
As no updates on suspects have been made public, investigators continue to gather DNA and other forensic data as part of the ongoing investigation, hoping to unlock the mystery behind this alarming case. The community joins in the plea for Nancy’s safe return, hoping for good news in the days to come.
