‘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.”

Ex-FBI director flags 'odd' details as first images emerge of Nancy Guthrie's kidnapper

A former top FBI official flagged unusual details in images and video released Tuesday in the disappearance of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother. Andrew McCabe, former FBI deputy director, told CNN that the way the armed suspect moved in the footage captured on a home...

No, he's definitely wearing thick fingered gloves. It's interesting that they are thick fingered skiing type gloves. Rather than go out and get new gloves, he may be a skier who used his own gloves.

Yes, they are thicker than nitrile gloves.

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I thought he had on mitts in two of the pics and it was confusing me!

 

[Guess Who]

I'm leaning to him coming to rob the house and Nancy woke up. He came with a backpack. My friend was robbed and they filled a backpack, which was later found in their vehicle. Nancy waking up was why things drastically changed. And I'm still of the assumption that the ransom money was from some foreign scammer trying to make a buck on the internationally known case.

This is my assumption for today. I reserve the right to change my mind as new evidence comes to light.

Yes!

The foreign scammer is why I think they specifically stated USD. Nobody from here would state that. It would be a given.

 

[Guess Who]

Okay, thanks for clarifying. I thought he had on mitts in two of the pics and it was confusing me!

They are just thicker and from the side view, they appear to be mittens. If you look at the video, it's very obvious they are gloves.

 

[RoundPeg]

Stance mitts? He changes out his gloves though. Or, were mitts over the gloves? Whatever the case, he came prepared.

Stance Mitts

Ultralight highly packable puffy insulated mitts from Black Diamond. Perfect for those non-technical summits, winter hikes, ski tours, around camp, or as an emergency pair of mitts thrown in your pack just in case you need them. Great for warming your frozen hands back up when you finally make...

Help me out here. Where and when does he change gloves? I haven't had tons 9f time to look at all this.

That is a VERY good comment about him not handling his firearm in a trained manner! If it went off, he could lose his members with it being positioned there!

 

[RoundPeg]

Because there is absolutely no other reason to do that that way. The only reason to specifically state that is because they want 6 million in American dollars and not 6 million from a country that it's worth much less. Common sense works.

My common sense works just fine. Thanks. You're just trolling now.

 

[Guess Who]

Help me out here. Where and when does he change gloves? I haven't had tons 9f time to look at all this.

He doesn't. They are just thicker and start to be mittens from the side view. When it shows the video, it shows them better and they are definitely gloves with no changes.

 

[Kimster]

Help me out here. Where and when does he change gloves? I haven't had tons 9f time to look at all this.

I didn't see him change, they looked like mitts in some pics and gloves in others, so I was wondering.

 

[Guess Who]

That is a VERY good comment about him not handling his firearm in a trained manner! If it went off, he could lose his members with it being positioned there!

I was stumped at the way he had it hanging the the front!

Wanna bet he has never fired a gun, let alone ever firing one after unholstering it?

 

[Guess Who]

My common sense works just fine. Thanks. You're just trolling now.

Not trolling. Just can't believe grown people didn't know that other countries dollars are worth different in different countries, especially when it specifically states USD.

 

[Kimster]

I was stumped at the way he had it hanging the the front!

Wanna bet he has never fired a gun, let alone ever firing one after unholstering it?

Exactly. I've never seen that ever! When I was trained for my conceal carry, we went over how to handle your firearm and why it's so important. He quite literally could have "shot himself in the foot". I wish Nancy would have tripped him and maybe he would have unloaded into his netherlands!

 

[RoundPeg]

No, he's definitely wearing thick fingered gloves. It's interesting that they are thick fingered skiing type gloves. Rather than go out and get new gloves, he may be a skier who used his own gloves.

This is what I'm thinking of.

Exactly. And I'm sure a lot of people in Arizona have ski gear because they go skiing elsewhere.

Utah or Colorado.

The foot would be the best scenario for putting a gun there.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

Utah or Colorado.

There are places to ski in Arizona.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Entin is reporting search and rescue are going door to door near Nancy's home. Interesting. Maybe she's not far from home at all...

This is what I'm thinking of.

Nitrile gloves tend to "stick" to your skin and don't usually appear to "hover " over the skin. Especially if you are perspiring in even the slightest bit. Especially the back of the had when balled up into a fist like it shows on that first pic posted on here.
They might be, but they would have to be huge ones to still be puffed out from the back of the hand. The xl ones don't even do that on my hands.
