Authorities are seemingly intensifying their seek for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing for nearly two weeks.
Multiple SWAT, forensics officers and law enforcement cars were spotted in Nancy’s Tucson, Arizona, neighborhood on Friday, February 13, in accordance with CNN and NewsNation. CNN reported that law enforcement officials converged on two locations without making any arrests, but did query a person about his apparent involvement. The person, who was reportedly cooperative, was ultimately released.
“We might even see a pair more of those as this goes on,” CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller told the outlet, speculating the case will likely move fast since there’s a “victim within the balance.”
“I feel we saw that again last night, but this particular lead isn’t going to go any further,” Miller said.
A representative for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, meanwhile, also confirmed in an X statement that there had been “law enforcement activity” on Friday in reference to Nancy’s potential kidnapping case.
“Because this can be a joint investigation, on the request of the FBI, no additional information is currently available,” the statement read. “There isn’t any press briefing scheduled for tonight regarding the Nancy Guthrie investigation.”
Nancy, the mother of 54-year-old Today host Savannah and her two siblings, was reported missing earlier in February. She was last seen on January 31.
“On behalf of our family we wish to thank all of you for the prayers for our beloved mom, Nancy,” Savannah said in a February 4 video. “We feel them and we proceed to imagine that she feels them too. Our mom is a form, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and lightweight. She is funny, spunky and clever.”
Savannah continued, “She has grandchildren who adore her and crowd round her and canopy her with kisses. She loves fun and adventure. She is a faithful friend. She is filled with kindness and knowledge.”
Savannah also issued an emotional plea to her mother directly.
Authorities are widening their seek for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, after revealing law enforcement is investigating recent leads. “A lot of you observed an energetic presence on the Guthrie residences over the weekend. That activity will proceed tonight and into tomorrow as a part of the continued investigative process, including the expansion of the search and […]
“Mommy, if you happen to are hearing this, you’re a robust woman. You’re God’s precious daughter, Nancy. We imagine and know that even on this valley, He’s with you,” Savannah stated on the time. “Everyone seems to be on the lookout for you, Mommy, in every single place. We is not going to rest. Your kids is not going to rest until we’re together again. We speak to you each moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice prematurely that the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mom.”
Savannah and her siblings have since shared multiple social media statements, urging the person or individuals liable for Nancy’s disappearance to return their mother to them. (While police are investigating the case as a possible kidnapping, there are currently no suspects and authorities have issued no arrests.)
“We imagine that someway, a way, [Nancy] is feeling these prayers and that God is lifting her even on this moment and on this darkest place,” Savannah said in a Monday, February 9, social media video. “We imagine our mom continues to be on the market. We want your help. Law enforcement is working tirelessly across the clock, attempting to bring her home, trying to seek out her. She was taken, and we don’t know where, and we want your help.”
Nancy and late husband Charles Guthrie, who died in 1988 after a heart attack at 49, shared daughters Savannah and Annie, in addition to son Camron.
