Authorities in Arizona are urgently searching for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Savannah Guthrie, host of the 'Today' show, after she was reported missing from her Tucson home over the weekend. Rescuers are concerned for Nancy's well-being, as she requires medication that she may not have with her. The Pima County Sheriff's Department is currently investigating the case as a potential kidnapping, emphasizing that this is no longer just a search effort, but a crime scene.

Nancy was last seen Saturday evening and was reported missing the following day after a church inquiry revealed her absence, prompting a family search and a subsequent 911 call. Initial efforts included drones and search dogs, but have since been scaled back.

Sheriff Nanos indicated signs of forced entry at her home, with her cellphone and wallet still present, raising alarm about her sudden disappearance. Investigators are poring over surveillance footage and have received potential ransom notes that are under examination.

Savannah Guthrie has expressed deep concern, appealing for public prayers on social media for her mother’s swift return. As the investigation unfolds, officials have not identified any suspects and are still analyzing DNA evidence from the scene. The search continues as the community holds hope for Nancy's safe return.
