‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is missing in Arizona and authorities suspect crime​

The disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie over the weekend is being investigated as a crime based on what authorities saw at her home, an Arizona sheriff said Monday.

Asked to explain why investigators believe the Tucson-area home is a crime scene, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Nancy Guthrie has limited mobility and said there were other things indicating she did not leave on her own, but he declined to further elaborate.

“I need this community to step up and start giving us some calls,” Nanos said during a news conference.

The sheriff said Guthrie, who lived alone, was of sound mind.

“This is not dementia related. She’s as sharp as a tack. The family wants everyone to know that this isn’t someone who just wandered off,” Nanos said, adding that she needs her daily medication.

Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at her home in the Tucson area and her family reported her missing around noon Sunday, the sheriff said.

Nanos said a family member received a call from someone at church saying Guthrie wasn’t there, leading family to search for her at her home and then calling 911.

“From what the family’s told us and everything we’ve learned, she could not walk out of that home 50 yards. We believe she was taken out of the home against her will, and that’s how this investigation is moving,” the sheriff told NBC’s Tom Llamas.


On Monday morning, Nanos said search crews worked hard but have since been pulled back.

“We don’t see this as a search mission so much as it is a crime scene,” the sheriff said.

Even so, a sheriff’s helicopter flew over the desert Monday afternoon near Guthrie’s home in the affluent Catalina Foothills area on the northern edge of Tucson. Her brick home has a gravel driveway and a yard covered in Prickly Pear and Saguaro cactus.

Savannah Guthrie issued a statement on Monday, NBC’s “Today” show reported.

“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” she said. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear Nancy.”

They looked like ski gloves on camera.

After re-looking at the photos, they could be rubber household cleaning gloves.

 

[Guess Who]

Thank you!

IMO she needs someone to do the legal work no matter what. Private investigators can't get search warrants. Etc.

I can't blame them though. There are also a lot of things a PI can do that LE are not allowed to do

 

[Guess Who]

She must be so Angry.

I can't blame them one little bit.

Yep. Some kind of disposable gloves that are a dime a dozen to find laying around.

There’s rumors that a SWAT team has been deployed again. I’m not trying to get everybody’s hopes up, but you might want to check out your social media in the next few minutes and see if anything really does break loose or not. I have to leave, but I’ll try to check in when I can.

If you go to youtube, there is a channel called JLR investigates. They are livestreaming from an AZ neighborhood where SWAT is apparently setting up. The stream shows numerous cars circling the neighborhood, the cars are apparently different media outlets. The streamers are providing live commentary and the chatter is showing the activity is connected to Nancy Guthrie.

That guy is definitely one of the ones the neighbors are complaining about.

85K watching online. The neighborhood is in Mirana, AZ. DNA found in Guthrie house apparently matches a known felon. This is all from the livestream and some chatter from the police radio that they are listening to. SWAT apparently setting up also at Ventana Canyon trailhead- also from police scanner.

I am guessing at the way these locations are spelled.

Saw that one and others. The one I trust the most isn't thinking it's related as one channel I won't name is saying on there, that it isn't related. It's not JLR but I think they are getting it from that one. Entin is somewhere different apparently as they try to find where they are at. I hope they don't interfere with anything but right now I'm thinking this is hype that isn't what it sounds like by some channels. Jmo from having watched several.

 

[GrandmaBear]

And SWAT deploys and stages quite regularly.

I guess we will see. Hoping but someone went off the air who was sure it was not going to be anything/isn't related.

 

[GrandmaBear]

I do hope I'm wrong, that it is directly related and that they get answers here.

Entin won't say where he is lol.

JLR has mentioned Entin several times. Entin is there but they don't know exactly where he is.
JLR and the media cars are trying to figure out where SWAT is.

 

[Sunburst]

Entin won't say where he is lol.

Maybe on a ridealong with SWAT??

So not only do the neighbors have to deal with the constant congestion of media, bloggers, vloggers, lookie loos, etc, they also get to deal with this.

Why would SWAT go to a location when it’s already surrounded by media? I would think they would call it all off.

Where is Nancy?

Another example of how they could be harming the investigation by blasting all over what they are doing and trampling all over.
