Retired Nassau County lieutenant Michael Gould has claimed that Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, most likely died 'early on' after her abduction from her Tucson, Arizona, home on 1 February. The assessment comes more than eight weeks into a case that has produced no proof of life for Nancy, who was reported missing after skipping her usual Sunday church service.
It can be recalled that the family initially suspected a medical emergency when they found the back doors propped open, Nancy's phone and purse left behind, and no immediate sign of her. Savannah described the scene to Hoda Kotb in her first major interview on the case, aired over two days earlier this week, as one of 'chaos and disbelief', with hospitals already being rung in a desperate bid for answers.
