New developments in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother
Nancy Guthrie missing has prompted an urgent, multi-agency search after the 84-year-old was last seen at her Tucson home. Authorities believe she may have been taken from her bed during the night, and the discovery of a concerning scene inside the house has intensified the effort to locate her quickly.
Local police say there are allegations of an abduction and that a ransom note was provided to a media outlet. Officials told reporters that investigators found blood inside the residence, though they have not released details about whose blood it was or the precise locations where it was discovered.
In public remarks, law enforcement characterised the scene as, in their words, a "very concerning scene," and stressed the medical urgency. Family members say Nancy Guthrie requires daily medication, and authorities warned that missing more than 24 hours of those medicines could be life‑threatening.
The timeline is narrow. Nancy Guthrie was last seen by relatives on Saturday night. When she failed to attend church the following morning, family members went to her home and called 000 (911 in the US context) around midday to report her missing. From there, local and federal investigators joined the search.
