Savannah missed Monday’s episode of her morning show, but the program began by covering her mother’s disappearance, only hours after the news broke.
“We want to get right to what is a deeply personal story for us, Nancy Guthrie, Savannah’s beloved mother, has been reported missing in Arizona,” anchor Craig Melvin said.
Savannah broke her silence with a statement on the Today show, in which she said, “On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom. We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.”
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos discussed the case during a Sunday, February 1, press conference, People reported. He stated that search and rescue teams have been combing both land and air, and confirmed that a homicide unit has joined the investigation.
To locate Nancy, authorities are deploying airplanes, helicopters, drones, and search-and-rescue dogs provided by Border Patrol. While no body has been found, foul play hasn’t been ruled out, and homicide detectives are reportedly assisting with the case.
“We’re pretty much just throwing everything at this that we can. Guthrie is 84 years old and is not of good physical health, and so naturally that’s a great concern,” Chris Nanos said. “This is very concerning to us. We don’t typically get the sheriff out at a scene like this. But it’s very concerning what we’re learning from the house,” he continued, adding, “And so we’ll just continue. The detective’s homicide team is out right now looking at the scene as well.”
Previously, Nanos noted that Nancy has “no cognitive issues at all. She’s very alert, she’s of good, sound mind.”
