Police Search Home of Savannah Guthrie's Sister Amid Mother's Disappearance
Investigators were observed conducting an apparent search at the residence of Annie Guthrie, the sister of prominent "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, over the weekend. This activity unfolded as the disappearance of their mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues to be a pressing concern for the family and law enforcement agencies.
Evidence Collection at Annie Guthrie's Home
Fox News Digital's Sarah Rumpf-Whitten reported late Saturday on the scene, noting the presence of what appeared to be unmarked police vehicles. In a video shared by Rumpf-Whitten, white flashes were visible emanating from the garage, suggesting that investigators were actively taking photographs as part of their evidence-gathering process.
NewsNation later provided additional details, confirming that law enforcement personnel in unmarked vehicles spent several hours at the location. Upon departure, they were seen carrying gloves and brown bags, which are typically used to secure potential evidence in criminal investigations.
Focus on a Manhole Cover
In a related development, officers returned on Sunday to the Tucson-area home of Nancy Guthrie, who is believed to have been abducted between the night of January 31 and the morning of February 1. This return coincided with a looming Monday deadline issued by a possible kidnapper, adding urgency to the investigation.
One of the key areas of interest for the agents appeared to be a manhole cover, possibly leading to a septic tank. Video footage captured by a Fox News drone showed a sheriff's officer inserting a pole into the hole. While the specific purpose of this action was not disclosed, it indicates a thorough search for clues or evidence related to Nancy Guthrie's disappearance.
Family's Plea to Potential Kidnapper
Amidst the ongoing investigation, Savannah Guthrie and her siblings, Annie and Camron, delivered another heartfelt message to the potential kidnapper on Saturday. Savannah Guthrie expressed the family's desperation, stating, "We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay."
This plea underscores the emotional toll the situation has taken on the Guthrie family, as they navigate the uncertainty surrounding their mother's whereabouts. The family's public appeal highlights their willingness to cooperate and negotiate for Nancy's safe return.
HuffPost has reached out to authorities for comment on the investigation, but as of now, no official statements have been released regarding the progress or findings from the searches. The case remains active, with law enforcement continuing their efforts to locate Nancy Guthrie and bring her home safely.
