The search continues in **Arizona** for 84-year-old **Nancy Guthrie**, the mother of NBC’s “Today” show host **Savannah Guthrie**, who vanished from her **Tucson** home over the weekend and is presumed kidnapped. **Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos** confirmed early that a crime had occurred, emphasizing that **Nancy Guthrie**, who has limited mobility and a severe health condition requiring urgent medication, was “physically removed from that home against her will.” As of Wednesday, officials admitted the search was proceeding slowly, lacking solid leads or suspects, despite clear signs of forced entry.
The investigation has been complicated by conflicting information and a lack of transparency. Media reports citing law enforcement sources indicated blood was found inside and outside the residence, though **Sheriff Nanos** publicly declined to confirm the specifics, citing ongoing evidence testing. Experts, including **Callahan Walsh** of “America’s Most Wanted,” criticized the lack of actionable details provided to the public. Authorities are considering whether **Nancy Guthrie** was targeted specifically due to her daughter **Savannah Guthrie’s** high-profile status. The **Pima County Sheriff’s Department** is also coordinating with the **FBI** after becoming “aware” of reports, allegedly received by **TMZ**, concerning a ransom note demanding a “substantial amount” for her safe return.
