Savannah Guthrie’s Mother Missing in Arizona; Home Declared Crime Scene

The case surrounding the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has escalated into a criminal investigation, according to authorities in Arizona. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office confirmed on Monday that they have identified the Guthrie residence as a crime scene.

Details of the Investigation

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos provided updates during a press conference, revealing that “we believe now after we’ve processed that crime scene that we do in fact have a crime.” Nanos urged local residents to search their home video camera footage for any clues regarding Nancy’s whereabouts.

Concerns about Nancy Guthrie’s Well-being

• Nancy Guthrie is described as having limited mobility.
• Authorities emphasized that she is in urgent need of her daily medication.
• Investigators do not believe she left her home voluntarily.

According to Sheriff Nanos, “There were circumstances on scene that we believe are suspicious in nature.” While specific details about the crime scene have not been disclosed, the investigation is receiving support from the FBI, as reported by sources from CBS News.

Search Efforts and Community Involvement

Initially, a search and rescue team conducted extensive efforts, utilizing drones, helicopters, and heat sensors. However, these operations were scaled down after the case shifted to a criminal investigation. Nanos stated, “Right now we don’t see this as a search mission so much as we do a crime scene.”

Community Appeal

Sheriff Nanos is encouraging anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. He emphasized that the family is cooperating fully with investigators. Savannah Guthrie released a statement expressing gratitude for the public’s support and emphasizing the family’s commitment to locating their mother.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Saturday. The community is urged to be on the lookout for any relevant information that could assist in the ongoing investigation.
