Savannah Guthrie’s Brother Urges Search for Their Missing Mother, Nancy
The family of Savannah Guthrie, the anchor for the “Today” show, has intensified efforts to locate their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie. The 84-year-old was taken from her home in Arizona nearly a week ago. As the search to find her enters its sixth day, the investigation is broadening beyond Tucson into nearby states.
Details of Nancy Guthrie’s Disappearance
Nancy Guthrie’s health is a significant concern for her family. She requires medication, and being without it could have dire consequences. Her son, Camron, implored anyone holding Nancy to reach out in a recent social media video. He emphasized the importance of a way to communicate, stating, “Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you.”
FBI’s Involvement and Reward Offer
On Thursday, the FBI announced a $50,000 reward. This reward is for information leading to Nancy’s safe return or for the arrest and conviction of those responsible for her abduction. The agency is investigating various pieces of evidence, including video footage and bloodstains found outside her home. Unfortunately, critical footage from her doorbell camera was lost after it disconnected the night she vanished.
Timeline of Events Leading to Her Abduction
- Saturday: Nancy was last seen at approximately 5:32 p.m. after taking an Uber to visit her daughter, Annie.
- 9:48 p.m.: She returned home, indicated by her garage door opening.
- 1:47 a.m. Sunday: The doorbell camera lost connection, losing vital evidence.
- 2:12 a.m.: A motion event was detected, but no footage is available due to the family not being subscribed to the service.
- 2:28 a.m.: Nancy’s pacemaker app showed disconnection from her phone, which remained inside the house.
- 11:56 a.m. Sunday: A friend alerted a family member to Nancy’s absence, leading to the call to 911.
Ongoing Investigation
Authorities are examining everyone who had contact with Nancy in the lead-up to her disappearance. Chris Nanos, the Pima County Sheriff, stated that everyone remains a suspect. Recently, a man from California was arrested for attempting to extort money by sending a fake ransom demand to Nancy’s family. Investigators are pursuing any leads that may help locate her.
Family’s Plea and Hope
In a heartfelt video, Savannah Guthrie expressed her family’s desire to receive any ransom offers but emphasized the need for proof of her mother’s well-being. “Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere,” she stated, underscoring their commitment to finding Nancy.
The Guthrie family remains united in their search. As they coordinate with law enforcement, they hold onto hope for Nancy’s safe return.
