He told press that search and rescue teams have worked tirelessly through the night \u201cto no avail.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He reiterated that there were some things they found at Guthrie\u2019s home that cause them great concern, and they are now calling it an active crime scene.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re asking for the community\u2019s help,\u201d Nanos said. \u201cSo, we make a plea to anyone who knows anything about it. Who has seen something, heard something, to contact us, to call 911. We don\u2019t need another bad, tragic ending. We need some help.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While answering questions from members of the press, Nanos shared that Nancy Guthrie\u2019s absence from church on Sunday morning prompted a concerned friend to reach out to one of Guthrie\u2019s adult children. That child went to Nancy\u2019s home to check on her and \u201cdid some searching and realized\u201d they needed some help. They then called 911.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNancy did not leave on her own, we know that,\u201d Nanos said. \u201cRight now, we don\u2019t see this as much as a search mission as we do a crime scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Authorities continue to decline to share details based on it being an active investigation, but they did say that \u201cthere were circumstances on scene that we believe are suspicious in nature.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>ORIGINAL STORY:<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to Phoenix, Arizona\u2019s\u00a0News12, Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills. The 84-year-old was last seen on Saturday night around 9:30, the Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>A family member called authorities midday Sunday to report Nancy missing, according to\u00a0TMZ.<\/p>\n<p>At a\u00a0press conference\u00a0held Sunday night, Sheriff Chris Nanos said the situation is \u201cvery concerning.\u201d When asked to specify, the sheriff said that what they found at the home caused \u201cgrave concern,\u201d but he declined to share details.<\/p>\n<p>Nanos added that search-and-rescue teams are looking for Guthrie, and homicide detectives are investigating the scene. They aren\u2019t ruling out foul play, but are hoping for a positive outcome.<\/p>\n<p>Guthrie\u2019s family told authorities that she is of sound mind, but has some physical limitations consistent with her age that affect her ability to \u201cmove around.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-161412 perfmatters-lazy entered pmloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-1200x1203.png\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-1200x1203.png 1200w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-768x770.png 768w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-400x401.png 400w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1203\" data-src=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-1200x1203.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-1200x1203.png 1200w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-768x770.png 768w, https:\/\/countryrebel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Screenshot-2026-02-01-at-11.24.03-PM-400x401.png 400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo credit: Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In addition to the Sheriff\u2019s Department and Homicide Investigators, helicopters, search dogs, and volunteers with drones are also helping with the search.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h-savannah-guthrie-issued-a-statement-regarding-her-mother-s-disappearance\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Savannah Guthrie issued a statement regarding her mother\u2019s disappearance.<\/h2>\n<p>In the opening segment of Monday\u2019s TODAY broadcast, a statement issued by Savannah Guthrie was shared.
