Elizabeth Smart has urged the public not to give up hope that Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, could still be alive nearly six months after disappearing from her Catalina Foothills home in Arizona. Speaking to an interview published on 24 July, Smart stressed that the absence of a body means the search must remain active.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on the evening of 31 January, before she was reported missing the following day. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and FBI have investigated her disappearance since then, but no suspect has been publicly identified.
