Investigators say they are 'definitely closer' to finding 84‑year‑old Nancy Guthrie, who vanished from her home near Tucson, Arizona, at the end of January, as the search for the missing mother of Today show co‑host Savannah Guthrie moves into what experts describe as a 'critical' new stage.
For context, Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her house on 31 January and reported missing the following day. Pima County authorities have said they believe she was kidnapped and disclosed that drops of her blood were found on the front porch. From the outset, investigators have stressed concern for her health, warning that she requires vital daily medication, a detail that has given the case an added urgency and a deeply personal edge for viewers used to seeing her daughter on morning television rather than outside a crime scene.
