TUCSON, Ariz. — The search for Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, continues as authorities express growing concern for her well-being. Nancy was reported missing over the weekend, prompting a massive search operation that has now entered its sixth day.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has expressed frustration over the inability to recover surveillance footage that could provide critical evidence in the case. The home's doorbell camera was disconnected shortly before Nancy went missing, leaving investigators without crucial leads.
It’s concerning and disappointing because you have your hopes up,” Nanos stated. DNA evidence from a blood trail found outside her home matched that of Nancy, suggesting that she may have been taken against her will.
The sheriff indicated that Nancy requires daily medication for health issues, including a pacemaker and high blood pressure, raising alarms as time progresses. Her conditions are worsening by the day, he warned, emphasizing the urgency of finding her.
As the investigation unfolds, the family has publicly pleaded for any information about Nancy’s whereabouts. In an emotional appeal, Savannah and her siblings acknowledged the existence of ransom notes sent to various media outlets, although specific details have not been disclosed by authorities.
The case has captured national attention, including comments from President Donald Trump, who emphasized federal support for local law enforcement efforts. Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed assistance from federal authorities while withholding further information.
Family members continue to appeal to the kidnapper to reach out, hoping for proof that Nancy is alive. The investigation remains active, with no suspects identified yet.
