Tucson, Arizona –
On Wednesday, investigators were back at the home of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC’s Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, as they continue to gather information about her disappearance.
Pima County Sheriff’s deputies returned to the Tucson residence, placing yellow crime scene tape around the property. They also brought in dogs of various ages, though it remains unclear why there was a renewed presence four days after Nancy was last seen.
The 84-year-old was observed on Saturday evening around 9:30 p.m. at her home. Details surrounding her vanishing haven’t been specifically disclosed, but Sheriff Chris Nanos hinted at possible criminal activity, stating that it appears “a crime was committed.” A source mentioned to Fox News that a “droplet of blood” was found leading from the front door down the hallway.
Nanos noted that Nancy didn’t make it to church on Sunday, with attendees alerting her family of her absence. Family members arrived at the house around 11 a.m., initiating a search before calling 911 just after noon. It was reported that she had dinner with her daughter and son-in-law that Saturday night before being dropped off at home.
