TODAY Show anchor Savannah Guthrie and her siblings shared a video pleading for their mother Nancy’s return.
“We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive, and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us,“ Savannah said, along with her brother, Cameron, and sister, Annie, as their 84-year-old mother was still reported missing for a fourth day.
The Guthries’ plea came hours after Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told the New York Times that Tommaso Cioni, who's married to Annie Guthrie, was the last person to see Nancy, having made sure she got inside her home safely after having dinner with the couple on Saturday (January 31).
Nancy was reported to have vanished at some point between the dropoff at 9:45 p.m. local time and Sunday (February 1) morning as friends became concerned that she was absent from church.
Nanos said that Guthrie's family has cooperated with investigators in the four days since Nancy's disappearance, which authorities are considering a crime though no suspects have been named. Savannah Guthrie previously issued a new statement asking fans to "please pray" amid her mother’s disappearance.
Blood was reportedly found alongside signs of forced entry at Nancy Guthrie's Catalina Hills home, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times, though it hasn't been confirmed who the blood belonged to.
“At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly [in the] middle of the night,” Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Kevin Adger said. “Detectives are looking into a possible kidnapping or abduction.”
DNA evidence found at Guthrie's home is also reportedly being inspected, KVOA reports. The 84-year-old reportedly left her car and cellphone at the scene and data from the device could provide more details on when she was taken, ABC News reports.
