Arizona Sheriff Declares Crime Scene in Disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s Mother

Detectives say the 84-year-old did not leave her home on her own, urging tips from the public.

Overview

  • Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said investigators processed Nancy Guthrie’s residence and determined they are working a crime scene, with foul play not ruled out.
  • Search-and-rescue operations were pulled back as the case shifted to a criminal investigation, with assistance from the FBI and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
  • Guthrie, 84, has limited mobility and requires daily medication that authorities say could be life-threatening if missed for 24 hours.
  • She was last seen at her Catalina Foothills home around 9:30 to 9:45 p.m. Saturday and was reported missing Sunday after she did not attend church.
  • Investigators say evidence indicates she did not leave on her own, are reviewing home security footage and her phone, and ask the public to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department; officials say there is no indication of a broader public threat.
