Worrying new details have surfaced in the case of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her Arizona residence on Saturday night. Authorities have reported the discovery of blood and indications of forced entry at her home in Catalina Foothills, near Tucson, heightening concerns for her safety.
Family and Authorities Express Grave Concerns
The family has emphasised that this is not a situation where Nancy simply wandered off, with the sheriff noting she is "limited in mobility" but "of great sound mind." In a heartfelt social media post late Monday, Savannah Guthrie described her mother as "a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant," and appealed to supporters to join in prayers for her safe return.
Investigation Intensifies with FBI Involvement
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated during a Tuesday afternoon news conference that police have received "hundreds" of leads related to the disappearance. He previously confirmed that a crime scene was identified at Nancy's home, raising fears of "a possible kidnapping or abduction." The FBI's Tucson office is actively supporting the investigation, with Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jon Edwards detailing efforts to analyse cell phones, obtain tower information, conduct interviews, and provide all necessary investigative resources.
Pacemaker Data Adds to Mystery
In a further development, it has been revealed that Nancy Guthrie's pacemaker stopped syncing on the night she disappeared, adding another layer of complexity to the ongoing search. This detail underscores the urgency of the investigation as authorities work tirelessly to piece together the events leading up to her vanishing.
The community and law enforcement continue to rally in the hope of bringing Nancy Guthrie home safely, with updates expected as the case progresses.
