Police confirm a heartbreaking development in the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother, a host on TODAY show.

Authorities in southern Arizona are investigating the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, 84, who is believed to have been abducted from her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson. Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 and reported missing the next day.

Family members raised the alarm when Nancy failed to attend a church service, prompting deputies from the Pima County Sheriff’s Department to investigate. Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that evidence suggests Nancy was taken against her will, with signs of a potential struggle or forced removal from her home.

Nancy Guthrie, described as mentally sharp and independent, had limited mobility and required daily medication. Authorities believe it is unlikely she left voluntarily. A large-scale search effort involving ground teams, air support, drones, and K-9 units has been launched, with federal agencies like the FBI assisting in the investigation.

The sheriff’s department is piecing together Nancy Guthrie’s movements before her disappearance, examining surveillance footage and seeking information from the community. Savannah Guthrie has taken a break from her TV duties to support her family and has appealed for any information that could help locate her mother.

As the investigation continues, authorities stress the importance of public cooperation. No suspects have been named, and the motive remains unknown. Finding Nancy Guthrie safe and sound is the top priority, with time being of the essence due to her age and medical needs.
