A wave of concern has gripped those close to NBC’s Savannah Guthrie as the search for her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, intensifies. Nancy was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona home late Saturday night, launching an investigation that has quickly taken a troubling turn.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed a crime is suspected, revealing the discovery of blood drops leading from the home’s entryway toward the driveway. While details remain scarce, investigators are meticulously pursuing every lead, interviewing anyone who may have had contact with Nancy.
Amidst the growing anxiety, President Donald Trump reached out directly to Savannah Guthrie on Wednesday. A White House official confirmed the call, though specifics of the conversation were not disclosed. This gesture follows Trump’s earlier offer of federal support in the search.
Trump publicly expressed his distress on Tuesday, stating he would personally call Guthrie, acknowledging the “terrible” and “very unusual” circumstances. Despite a sometimes contentious relationship, including a pointed town hall exchange during the 2020 election, Trump remarked he’s “always gotten along very good with Savannah.”
Sheriff Chris Nanos urged the public to refrain from spreading unverified information, emphasizing that such actions hinder the ongoing investigation. Detectives are working closely with the Guthrie family, carefully navigating the delicate balance between public concern and investigative integrity.
As days pass since Nancy’s disappearance, Savannah Guthrie has turned to faith, sharing a heartfelt message on social media. She implored others to join her family in prayer, expressing a deep belief in the power of collective hope and goodness.
“We believe in prayer,” Guthrie wrote, “We believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope.” Her plea resonated with many, highlighting the family’s unwavering faith as they navigate this agonizing ordeal. The search continues, fueled by hope and a desperate desire for answers.
