Blood Reportedly Found Inside Home of Savannah Guthrie’s Mom With Signs of Forced Entry

More details are coming to light in the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.

Law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday, February 3, that authorities found blood inside Nancy’s home in Tucson, Arizona. It is unclear who the blood is linked to. (Later Tuesday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the report of blood within the home, but he did not confirm nor deny its accuracy. He said, “Our team processed the scene like it would… think of any crime scene.”)

The Today anchor’s mother was reportedly last seen on the night of Saturday, January 31, and she was reported missing the following day by family members after she failed to show up at church.

The L.A. Times reported that Nancy’s personal belongings, such as her wallet, cellphone and car, were there. The sources also claimed that there were signs of forced entry.

After multiple teams, including homicide detectives, responded to the scene over the weekend — and Sheriff Nanos said there was cause for “great concern” — it is now being treated as a possible kidnapping or abduction.

“At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly [in the] middle of the night,” department spokesperson Kevin Adger told the L.A. Times on Monday.

Nancy is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs around 150 pounds; she has brown hair and blue eyes. While it’s been said that Nancy does not live with any cognitive issues, her life could be in danger if she does not take her medication daily, per authorities.

Savannah, 54, issued a statement on Instagram Monday night, pleading for her mother’s safe return. “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment,” she wrote in part. “We need you.”

“Bring her home,” she said.

A source previously told National Enquirer that the TV personality “is absolutely devastated — beside herself and fearing the worst,” adding: “She’s trying to be strong, but this has shattered her.”

The source added that it’s an “an all-hands situation” at NBC, revealing that “favors [are] being called in that almost never get called in.”

“All NBC law-enforcement sources and contacts have been activated,” said the source. “At this point, finding her mom has become an NBC job, not just a family crisis.”
