Huge update in the search for ‘TODAY’ anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s missing mother … law enforcement in Arizona believes there may be a criminal element to Nancy Guthrie‘s disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says some concerning things were found inside Nancy’s Tucson-area home, and they now believe her home is a crime scene.
Nanos stopped short of saying what crime he believes may have been committed … but he’s asking the community for help in the case.
“We believe now, after we process that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene, that we do, in fact have a crime, and we’re asking the community’s help,” Nanos said during Monday morning’s press conference.
Nanos said law enforcement agencies are scouring the surrounding area for any signs of Nancy … but so far their efforts have come up empty.
As we reported … 84-year-old Nancy was reported missing Sunday afternoon, and Nanos says she was last seen Saturday night at her home.
Nanos previously revealed homicide detectives were assisting in the investigation.
In a statement Sunday, Savannah said, “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 mom.”
