Missing TV Host's Mother Taken Against Her Will: Investigation Ongoing
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of 'Today' show host Savannah Guthrie, was taken from her Tucson home against her will over the weekend. The Pima County Sheriff has confirmed that she is considered endangered due to her age and health issues, requiring medication.
The incident occurred on Saturday night when Nancy Guthrie failed to attend church, prompting a family member to report her missing. A search operation ensued, involving drones, dogs, volunteers, and Border Patrol, before being scaled back the following morning.
While officials are still investigating the disappearance as a crime scene rather than a traditional missing person case, they have collected evidence, including signs of forced entry at Nancy Guthrie's home and personal belongings that remain intact. However, no suspects or motives have been identified so far.
Ransom notes received by multiple media organizations earlier this week have been taken seriously by the sheriff’s department, but no further comments were made regarding their authenticity.
DNA samples have been submitted for analysis as part of the investigation, with Sheriff Chris Nanos stating that while some results are in, none indicate any suspects. The case is taking a close look at surveillance footage from nearby homes and analyzing data from area license plate cameras.
Nancy Guthrie's family has expressed concern for her well-being, asking supporters to "raise their prayers" to help bring her home. Her daughter, Savannah Guthrie, has not appeared on the show this week and took to social media to plead with fans to believe that her mother will be found alive.
The motive behind Nancy Guthrie's disappearance remains a mystery, with investigators ruling out robbery, home invasion, or kidnapping for ransom plots. As the investigation unfolds, officials are working tirelessly to find any leads that could bring Nancy Guthrie back to her family safely.

this is so sad! 
I mean, 84 is old, but still... an elderly person taken away from their home? 
what's going on with the people involved here?! 
The sheriff's department should be all over this ASAP, get her mom back to her family already! 
I heard the ransom notes thing, but like, how do we know they're even legit?! 
anyway, my heart is with Nancy Guthrie and her fam right now... 
#JusticeForNancy 
. Savannah Guthrie (her daughter) is freakin out on social media tryin to get ppl 2 believe her mom will be ok 
. This whole thing is just so messed up 
my heart goes out to Nancy Guthrie's family, especially her daughter Savannah 
And what's with all the 'raise your prayers' nonsense from Nancy Guthrie's family? Can't they just provide some real updates instead of relying on emotional appeals? 
I'm holding out for something more substantial before I start believing this story. 
And btw, have you seen that new TV show everyone's been talking about? I'm totally binge-watching it this weekend! 
I'm thinking this is super suspicious... Like, what's up with the grandma being taken against her will just 'cause she didn't go to church? 
, underscores the need for increased vigilance and support for elderly individuals living alone 
. The sheriff's department is taking a diligent approach to this investigation, reviewing surveillance footage and analyzing DNA samples 
, but the lack of progress is frustrating 
. As the investigation continues, it's essential that her family remains optimistic 
.
I'm holding out hope for Savannah's mom to come home safely
