TODAY Show anchor Savannah Guthrie broke her silence on her mother, Nancy, 84, going missing in Arizona in a statement shared through the show amid her own absence on Monday (February 2).
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” the statement reads. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom.”
“We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900,” Savannah added.
A spokesperson for the Guthrie family also issued a statement to the New York Post addressing Nancy’s disappearance.
“We can confirm this is a missing persons case, and the family is working closely with local law enforcement. If anyone has any information, please contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900. The family is grateful for the outreach, thoughts and prayers,” the statement reads.
Nancy was reported missing on Sunday (February 1) after having last been seen at her Catalina Foothills home at around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday (January 31), with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirming that one of her relatives made a 911 call to report her missing during a press conference. Nancy was described as being “not of good physical health” and a “vulnerable adult” following her disappearance.
Homicide detectives were also reported to have searched the 84-year-old’s home, which authorities confirmed wasn’t standard protocol in a missing person case.
“We’ve pretty much thrown everything at this as we can,” Nanos said about the search mission during the press conference. “I don’t need to tell you, this is very concerning to us; we don’t typically get the sheriff out on a scene like this but it is very concerning.
