The search for “Today” Co-Anchor Savannah Guthrie‘s mother, Nancy Guthrie, entered its fourth day on Wednesday as local and federal authorities continued investigating what officials have described as a possible abduction.
Nancy, 84, was reported missing Sunday afternoon after she failed to attend her usual church service. CBS reported that she was last seen around 9:45 p.m. Saturday, when family members dropped her off at her home outside Tucson, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
Since her disappearance, Nancy’s family has gathered together, leaning on one another as they wait for answers about their beloved mother. Amid the growing concern, Savannah Guthrie’s brother, Camron Guthrie, was photographed publicly for the first time since Nancy went missing in Arizona.
Guthrie Siblings Unite as Search for Nancy Continues Into Fourth Day
As per photos obtained by Page Six, Camron was seen on Wednesday arriving at sister Annie Guthrie’s home in Tucson.
In the photos, Camron is seen stepping out of a white Toyota Camry, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and black pants. The report notes the family left the home briefly with Annie and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, before returning roughly 40 minutes later, where they were escorted inside by a private security guard.
Charles Camron Guthrie, who previously served as an F-16 pilot with the Vermont Air National Guard, shares a close bond with his two sisters, according to a USA Today report.
Savannah is also believed to be staying at Annie’s home as the family faces an agonizing wait for answers. Just a day before, The Daily Mail published photos of FBI agents leaving Annie’s home on Tuesday following a two-hour meeting with family members.
Investigation Focuses on Possible Abduction
NBCUniversalInvestigators believe she may have been taken from her home during the night.
“That includes possible kidnapping or abduction,” a sheriff’s department spokesperson told Page Six. “This is an elderly woman in her mid-80s who suffers from ailments… she couldn’t go 50 yards.”
Officials familiar with the investigation told NBC News that what appears to be blood was discovered outside the home. They also said Nancy’s pacemaker disconnected from its monitoring app early Sunday.
That same day, News Nation aired footage showing what appeared to be blood drops near the front door.
The Los Angeles Times later reported that investigators had observed signs of forced entry at the home.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department also addressed reports circulating about possible ransom notes tied to the case.
“We are taking all tips and leads very seriously,” the department said in a statement. “Anything that comes in goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.”
Sheriff Says Family Holding Onto Hope
GettyDespite the troubling evidence, Sheriff Nanos said investigators are continuing to move forward with the belief that Nancy is still alive.
“We have nothing else to go on but the belief that she is here,” Nanos told NBC News. “She’s present, she’s alive. We want to save her.”
He added, “The leads we got coming in are critical to us. They’re valuable, and we’re sharing those with the FBI and others.”
The disappearance has also deeply shaken Savannah’s colleagues on “Today.” Savannah has stepped back from co-hosting the opening ceremony of the Olympics in Italy, where she was scheduled to spend the following week filming episodes of the show with former co-host Hoda Kotb.
Nanos said the situation has been “tough” on Nancy’s three children.
The family remains together at Annie’s home, holding onto hope as they wait for answers.
