Sheriff Says “We Do In Fact Have A Crime” As Authorities Search For Savannah Guthrie’s Mother

The sheriff of Pima County, Arizona, has stated that authorities are treating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, as a crime. Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 years old, was reported missing after being last seen by her family at approximately 9:45 p.m. on Saturday. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance have led authorities to suspect that she may have been abducted during the night, prompting a nationwide search for her. Search and rescue teams have been deployed, but they have thus far been unable to locate her (CBS News, Los Angeles Times). In response to her mother's disappearance, Savannah Guthrie has made a public plea for prayers and assistance in locating Nancy. She shared a message on Instagram, urging people to "please pray" and to "raise your prayers with us" for her mother's safe return. Savannah has not been present on the "Today" show during this distressing time, as she focuses on the search for her mother. She provided a statement to her co-hosts, expressing hope and calling for help in finding Nancy Guthrie (Deadline, Fox News). The situation has garnered significant public attention, with Savannah's plea resonating with many, including notable figures such as former President Donald Trump, who has shown support for the search efforts. The urgency of the case has led to heightened public interest, as family and friends rally together in hopes of bringing Nancy Guthrie home safely (Deadline, France24). As the investigation continues, authorities remain focused on uncovering the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and locating her as soon as possible.
