Missing in the Desert: Beloved 'Today' Host's Mother Vanishes Under Mysterious Circumstances
Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of popular 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie, has gone missing from her home in Tucson, Arizona. According to reports, she failed to attend a church gathering on Sunday, prompting concerns from family members and authorities.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has revealed that investigators believe Nancy was not taken by choice due to her limited mobility, with signs of forced entry suggesting otherwise. "We believe she was taken out of the home against her will," Nanos stated in an interview. This raises questions about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance and whether it was a case of kidnapping.
The sheriff's department is working to obtain security footage from private companies, although they have yet to receive this information. Frustrated by the lack of progress, Nanos expressed his desire for the footage, but companies involved are cooperating. Unconfirmed reports suggest blood was found at the scene, with DNA evidence collected from the crime scene.
Search efforts have been extensive, involving the FBI, local officials, and Border Patrol officers. Drones, helicopters, and search dogs were used in the operation, although Nanos has now announced that search efforts will be scaled back. The focus is now on treating the area as a crime scene, rather than a search mission.
Savannah Guthrie has publicly expressed her gratitude for well-wishers' prayers, calling out to her mother, saying "Bring her home."
The case remains shrouded in mystery, with no clear leads or suspects. As investigators continue their pursuit of answers, the Guthrie family and fans around the world are left to hold onto hope that Nancy will be found safe and sound.
