Savannah Guthrie's Missing Mom Nancy Guthrie May Have Been

“We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene,” Nanos said. “We're asking the community's help. This community has always stepped up to help us solve some pretty tough crimes. I'm looking for that again.”

“We know she didn't just walk out of there, that we know,” he continued, saying that her mental state is "as sharp as a tack."

Nanos added, "Nancy Guthrie is of great sound mind. This is not dementia-related."

But authorities did find “other things at the site” which led them to believe Nancy “did not leave on her own.”

Nanos also shared that Nancy suffered from “physical ailments” and “physical challenges” which require medication, noting that if she does not receive the medication “in 24 hours, it could be fatal.”

As for Savannah, the county sheriff said that they did not foresee an “active threat” for the Today host, adding that "there's a lot of work still to do."

Nanos explained that law enforcement was in contact with the 54-year-old, as well as her security team, saying, “We’re not going to dismiss any angles for sure."

Savannah was absent from the Feb. 2 episode of Today, saying in a statement to the morning show alongside siblings Annie Guthrie and Camron Guthrie, “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 Nancy,” she added. “We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff's Department."
