Authorities are continuing to investigate the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, after she was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home over the weekend. The case has drawn widespread attention as law enforcement works to determine the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
Officials have confirmed that the situation is being treated as a possible abduction, and multiple agencies are involved in the search. Investigators have not announced any suspects or filed charges, emphasizing that the inquiry remains active and ongoing.
According to reports, family members contacted authorities on Sunday when Nancy failed to attend her regular church service, which was considered unusual behavior. Investigators have since collected evidence from the residence, including a vehicle associated with the household, and are reviewing damage found on security cameras at the home. Authorities have not disclosed when or how that damage occurred.
Law enforcement sources have acknowledged that evidence found inside the residence suggests potential foul play, though specific details have not been released. Officials are also examining an alleged written communication that was shared with media outlets, noting that its authenticity is still being evaluated. Both the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI are assisting with that review.
Nancy was last seen at her home late Saturday evening. Investigators say data from her personal medical and electronic devices stopped transmitting early Sunday morning, and those devices were later located inside the residence. Authorities believe this information may help establish a clearer timeline. They have also expressed concern for her well-being, as she relies on daily medication.
Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that while evidence raises concern, investigators are being cautious as they continue to gather and verify information. Law enforcement officials urge anyone with relevant details to come forward and stress that all missing-person cases are handled with urgency as efforts continue to locate Nancy Guthrie safely.
