An unnamed insider has come forward with an anonymous tip in the investigation into the disappearance of Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mum Nancy
An anonymous tip has uncovered a fresh new lead into the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie – the mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie.
Nancy, 84, was reported missing on February 1 after failing to attend her regular 11a.m church service in Tucson, Arizona. Her family sounded the alarm when she didn’t show up and police discovered blood on the front door and signs of forced entry at her home, suggesting a possible abduction.
As the search for Nancy continues, her daughter Savannah has made an emotional appeal for her safe return. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Savannah described her mother’s vibrant personality: “She is funny, spunky, and clever. She has grandchildren who adore her, and crowd around her, and cover her with kisses.
“She loves fun and adventure. She is a devoted friend. She is full of kindness and knowledge. Talk to her, and you’ll see.”
Savannah’s sister Annie also made a heartfelt plea, saying: “We are always going to be merely human. Just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you,” reports the Express US.
The family’s appeals come as an expert has said they believe the kidnapper is “known to the family.” When Nancy vanished it was reported alarm bells rang for her family when she didn’t show up for church.
However, a source has now revealed Nancy hadn’t been to services in person for quite some time. An insider told the Daily Mail Nancy Guthrie had given St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church a miss since the Covid-19 pandemic hit, opting instead to join in with worship “online.” The church, where Nancy had been a regular for 30 years, hosts three Sunday service Zoom sessions each week.
Despite what the source says, Irish Star US has discovered attendees must register with their full names to get into these virtual meet-ups.
This means anyone who could get their hands on the attendance records could have checked if the 84-year-old was there. Despite the tip the anonymous source had nothing but kind words for Nancy. The source of the tip said: “It’s a big church, and we know everyone.
“Nancy is known and loved here and in the whole community. She was a faithful member here for so long, just a lovely person.” Interestingly even though Nancy had been part of St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church for 30 years, her memorial vigil was held elsewhere. On February 4, worshippers and well-wishers gathered at Saint Philip’s in the Hills, the church where Nancy’s daughter goes.
