Nearly two months after 84-year-old mother Savannah Guthrie went missing at her home near Tucson, Ariz., on Wednesday (local time), the co-host of NBC’s “Today” show opened up about the agony the Guthrie family is going through.
In an interview with NBC, Savannah Guthrie said, “Somebody has to do the right thing. We’re in agony. We’re in agony. It’s unbearable.” Savannah, who was clearly crying and upset in the interview, continued: “And thinking about what she’s been through. Every night I wake up in the middle of the night, every night. And in the dark I imagine her horror. And it’s unthinkable, but these thoughts demand to be thought. And I’m not going to hide my face. But now she has to come home.”
Nancy Guthrie missing case
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing by her family on Feb. 1 from her residence after she failed to attend a virtual service at a friend’s home, officials said. The 84-year-old was last seen the night before at 9.45pm, after having dinner with her daughter Annie Guthrie.
Since Guthrie has been missing, authorities have labeled it a case of possible abduction or abduction; however, clues were scarce. In the seven-week investigation, the only breakthrough was the discovery of a masked man seen outside Guthrie’s home who was considered a possible suspect. An armed, masked man apparently tampered with her doorbell camera.
Here’s what’s happened so far in the Nancy Guthrie case:
Earlier today, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos issued an “important alert” regarding the missing Nancy Guthrie case, Parade reported. Nanos warned the public about potential fraud and misleading activity associated with the investigation.
- Since Guthrie went missing, there has been speculation that her son-in-law Tommaso Cioni was involved in her disappearance, as he and his wife were the last two people to see the 84-year-old the day before. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Pima County Sheriff’s Office have not named him a suspect, but he has been under intense scrutiny.
2. The Guthrie family offered a $1 million reward for information leading to their mother’s recovery. The reward was in addition to the FBI’s $50,000.
3. Forensic tests also revealed that Nancy Guthrie’s blood was found on the front porch of her home. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators may use genetic genealogy to identify the source of the unknown DNA recovered from her home.
4. The Guthrie family also passed lie detector tests and were given a clean slate by authorities. There is a possibility that more than one person was involved in Guthrie’s abduction or abduction, according to a former homicide detective who said such crimes are rarely linked by one person.
5. Pima County Sheriff Nanos has also faced backlash over his handling of the investigation, with media reports suggesting he may lose his job.
6. The Guthrie family has been sharing videos again and again, reaching out to the public and asking for help in bringing their mother back home.
