Search Continues for Nancy Guthrie, No Suspect Identified
Authorities are continuing their search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie, who was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home on Sunday. As of Wednesday, investigators have not identified a suspect or person of interest in the case, which they are investigating as a crime, according to the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
The sheriff's department stated on social media Wednesday that detectives are speaking with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. A law enforcement source familiar with the case told CBS News that a small amount of blood found inside the home is being tested. Authorities believe Guthrie was taken from her home over the weekend.
Sally Shamrell, a family friend and former reporter for KVOA, a local television station in Tucson where Savannah Guthrie worked in the 1990s, described the disappearance as "absolutely heart-wrenching." Shamrell told CBS News that the Guthries are a "very revered family" in Tucson and that "Nancy and Savannah have both contributed so much to the Tucson community." She added, "They're just positive contributors and very faithful women. What's going on is absolutely heart-wrenching."
The Pima County Sheriff's Department is working closely with the Guthrie family as the search continues. A candlelight service was held in Tucson Wednesday night to pray for Nancy Guthrie's safe return.
