84-Year-Old Nancy Guthrie Reportedly Abducted From Tucson Home

Representative Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ) urged the public on Monday to help find Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old woman who disappeared from her Tucson-area home on Saturday.

"Laura and I are praying for Nancy Guthrie and for her safe return, and for strength and peace for the entire Guthrie family," Ciscomani posted on X. "If you have any information that could help, please contact law enforcement immediately."

The 84-year-old woman, whose daughter is Savannah Guthrie, an NBC News reporter, vanished from her residence near Tucson sometime late Saturday. Family members realized she was gone and notified authorities Sunday afternoon.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters he suspects foul play in a press conference held Monday. According to the sheriff, evidence suggests Guthrie didn't leave voluntarily. Investigators have classified her home as a location where a crime is likely to have occurred.

The sheriff emphasized that time is critical in this case. Guthrie needs medicine every day to stay healthy; missing doses could cause serious problems. She also can't move around easily on her own. However, she shows no signs of dementia or similar conditions and understands everything happening around her.

Reports show search teams quickly went into action after the family called for help. The effort included helicopters and drones conducting aerial searches, trained rescue workers on the ground, local volunteers, and tracking dogs borrowed from the U.S. Border Patrol.

Detectives are examining recordings from surveillance equipment installed at the residence, where Guthrie lives by herself with assistance from hired caregivers.

Law enforcement officials have also asked people living nearby to review footage from their home security systems for any unusual activity.
