NBC has confirmed that Savannah Guthrie, co-host of “Today,” will not be attending the Winter Olympics in Italy due to the ongoing search for her mother. A representative from NBC Sports stated, “Savannah will not be participating in the Olympics as she is focused on being with her family during this difficult time.” The spokesperson also expressed sympathy for the Guthrie family as the search continues and mentioned that more details about the Opening Day coverage would be shared soon.
Savannah was supposed to co-host the opening ceremony set for February 6th in Milan. Her mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on Saturday evening. Relatives alerted authorities about her disappearance by noon the following day, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
At a news conference, Sheriff Nanos described Nancy’s home as a crime scene, asserting that she did not leave voluntarily. “We processed the crime scene and have reason to believe a crime has occurred,” he stated. Evidence suggests it may not have been a simple case of someone wandering off; there were signs, including a droplet of blood leading from the front door into the house.
Police also indicated they might have a potential ransom note related to Nancy’s disappearance. With the investigation actively continuing, the public is encouraged to provide any information that could assist in locating her.
