Police in Arizona were searching today for the mother of top United States news anchor Savannah Guthrie, after the elderly woman went missing over the weekend under suspicious circumstances.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing yesterday from her home in Pima County, local sheriff Chris Nanos told apress conference.
“She did not leave on her own, we know that,” Nanos said, describing the home as a “crime scene”.
Guthrie has mobility issues and is without necessary medication, the sheriff said, pleading for anyone with information on her whereabouts to come forward.
She is of “sound mind ... The family wants everybody to know this isn’t somebody who just wandered off,” he added.
Nanos would not go into detail about what evidence had been discovered at the home, saying only that investigators determined “we do in fact have a crime”.
Security cameras at the home were also being examined, he said.
Yesterday, he had said that homicide investigators were a part of the probe.
