Savannah Guthrie’s family is facing a frightening situation after her mother, Nancy Guthrie, vanished from her Arizona home under circumstances authorities now believe may involve a crime. Nancy, 84, was reported missing Sunday morning after she failed to appear following the previous night at her residence in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, prompting an immediate response from law enforcement.
According to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, Nancy went to bed Saturday night and was gone by morning. Search-and-rescue teams were quickly deployed across the surrounding desert terrain, but no trace of her has been found. Sheriff Chris Nanos later confirmed investigators believe she did not leave voluntarily and may have been taken from her home against her will.
Authorities have reviewed nearby security footage and collected evidence from the scene. While officials have not released many details, law enforcement sources indicated there were signs of forced entry. Nancy was described as mentally sharp but physically limited, which deepened concerns about her ability to leave on her own or travel far without assistance.
Neighbors reported unusual activity in the area during the investigation and said the rugged terrain makes it unlikely she wandered away. The Sheriff’s Department is offering a reward for information leading to an arrest and urges anyone with relevant details to contact authorities as soon as possible. As the investigation continues, the Guthrie family has remained private while officials pursue every lead in what they believe may be a kidnapping, hoping for answers and a safe resolution.
