Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, is believed to have been abducted from her bed as the investigation into her mysterious disappearance continues.
Nancy’s phone, wallet and car were still at her home when police began their investigation, the man leading the investigation told a news outlet on Monday, February 2. Though Nancy’s front door was unlocked, there were signs of forced entry, according to the source.
Nancy was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 30, and was reported missing the next day.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos announced during a press conference on Monday, February 1, that the disappearance was being investigated as a potential crime.
“We believe now, after we process that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene, that we do, in fact have a crime, and we’re asking the community’s help,” Chris revealed, adding they found “concerning evidence.”
“This community has always stepped up to help up solve some pretty tough crimes. I am looking for that again,” he said.
Nancy had “no cognitive issues,” but was “limited in her mobility,” leading police to believe she didn’t “just walk out of there… she did not leave on her own,” according to the Pima County Sheriff.
Nancy’s neighbor recounted seeing her in good spirits the day of her last known appearance.
“I just saw her two days ago [on Saturday] checking her mail,” the neighbor told a news outlet on Monday, February 2. “She was always smiling and always asking about our family and neighbors. She was very engaged with the community. … It’s very concerning.”
The source praised Nancy as a “longtime neighbor and dear friend,” and said their community is very “worried about her.”
“We live on the same street. [We are] in complete shock and very concerned,” the neighbor revealed.
Though Savannah missed the Today show taping as she deals with the family emergency, her longtime cohost and friend Jenna Bush Hager shared a concerning update during the broadcast, explaining the matriarch needed to take medication for her “survival.”
“She’s without her medication so we are thinking of our dearest, dearest Savannah and her whole family right now. Our prayers obviously go out to Savannah and the entire family,” Jenna informed viewers.
