Savannah Guthrie Mom Missing, Needs Life-Sustaining Medication

The search for Savannah Guthrie‘s mom is becoming more dire.

After Nancy Guthrie was reported missing in her hometown of Tucson, Ariz., on Feb. 1, authorities announced that she requires crucial life-sustaining medicine.

“This is an 84-year-old lady who suffers from some physical ailments, has some physical challenges, is in need of medication,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared at a Feb. 2 press conference, “medication that if she doesn’t have in 24 hours, it could be fatal.”

“So, we make a plea to anyone who knows anything about this, who has seen something, heard something, to contact us,” he continued. “Call 911. We don’t need another bad, tragic ending. We need some help.”

He also emphasized that Nancy—who shares the Today co-host, as well as kids Camron Guthrie and Annie Guthrie with late husband Charles Guthrie—does not have any cognitive issues.

“Nancy Guthrie is of a great sound mind,” Nanos explained. “This is not dementia-related. She is as sharp as a tack. The family wants everybody to know this isn’t somebody who just wandered off. Her physical limits are based on just age.”
