Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, was at the centre of a fresh claim after a neighbour in the Catalina Foothills said on the March 9 episode of Brian Entin Investigates that she had seen a 'strange man' in the area about three weeks before Guthrie went missing. The neighbour, Aldine Meister, said the sighting happened around Jan. 11 and later became important enough, in her view, to report to authorities.
Meister said she did not raise the alarm publicly at the time and told only her husband and mother about what she had seen. It was only after Nancy disappeared that she decided the encounter might matter and passed the information on to investigators.
