Search for Missing Arizona Woman Intensifies
Nancy Guthrie’s congregation in Arizona is rallying around her family during what has been described as a “horrific ordeal.” Pastor Nancy Guthrie, who is associated with St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, urged the community to keep praying for her safe return during Sunday services.
The Rev. John Title expressed the church’s ongoing support for Nancy and her family, emphasizing the need for respect regarding their privacy. He stated, “Our message is to pray, and we will continue to do so through this difficult time,” before leading a group prayer for Guthrie.
“I’m earnestly praying for Nancy’s rescue and safe return. I want to bring her home,” Title asserted, asking for divine guidance for law enforcement. He concluded his prayer by asking for a change of heart in those responsible for her disappearance.
Nancy Guthrie, at the age of 84, the mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing last week in Arizona. Authorities suspect she was taken from her home in the Tucson area. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that DNA evidence linked blood found on her porch to Nancy.
In a heartfelt appeal, Savannah, along with her siblings, appeared in a social media video, addressing anyone who might be holding their mother. They expressed their willingness to pay for her safe return, stating simply, “This is the only way we will have peace.”
Lately, there have been reports of a ransom letter sent to a local television station, although details remain sparse as federal authorities investigate. Law enforcement is examining multiple pieces of information regarding the case, including demands made in some letters, but the authenticity of these communications has not been verified.
Concern continues to grow over Nancy’s health as she requires daily medication, has a pacemaker, and a history of high blood pressure and other heart-related issues. Recently, sheriff’s vehicles were seen outside her home, and officials were observed conducting what appeared to be thorough checks.
