TUCSON, Ariz. – Officials in Tucson, Arizona, are continuing to search for the mother of NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie after she went missing from her home and was last seen on Saturday night, saying that a crime has been committed.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tuscon residence at around 9:30 p.m. Saturday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. While officials didn’t immediately elaborate on the circumstances of her disappearance, Sheriff Chris Nanos said on Monday that “we do, in fact, have a crime.”
On Thursday, investigators provided several updates regarding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, with Camron Gutherie delivering yet another desperate plea through social media asking to bring his mother home.
Nanos revealed additional details surrounding the timeline of the evening Nancy Guthrie vanished from her home, including that the doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m. and her pacemaker stopped syncing to her Apple Watch at 2:28 a.m. Additionally, Nanos told reporters that “everybody’s still a suspect,” though investigators have not located a person of interest in the case.

Blood droplets found outside the home were confirmed to be Nancy Guthrie’s, according to Nanos.
The FBI also announced a $50,000 reward Thursday for information in Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
Authorities are working to verify a ransom note that was sent to at least three news stations earlier this week, with Nanos revealing the letter demanding a large sum of cryptocurrency by 5 p.m. local time on Thursday.
Around the time of the deadline, Camron Guthrie posted to his sister and NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie’s Instagram account pleading with his mother’s captors to make contact with the family.
“This is Camron Guthrie. I am speaking for the Guthrie family,” he said. “Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward.”

“But first, we have to know that you have our mom,” he continued. “We want to talk to you and we are waiting for contact.”
A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital that it’s believed Nancy Guthrie was either kidnapped or abducted.
“Sheriff [Chris] Nanos has stated that he believes that a crime has been committed,” a spokesperson for Pima County Sheriff’s Office told Fox News Digital. “At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will and that includes possible kidnapping or abduction.”
Nanos said Nancy Guthrie didn’t leave the home by herself. According to the Los Angeles Times, blood was found inside Nancy Guthrie’s home. A law enforcement source told Fox News Digital that there were “blood drops” leading from the entryway outside down the house’s pathway towards the driveway.During an interview on MSNOW on Tuesday, Nanos said Nancy Guthrie was “physically removed from that home against her will,” but declined to say whether she was harmed. The sheriff also said it’s unknown if the individual who took Nancy Guthrie is familiar or a stranger.Police dispatch audio when Nancy Guthrie went missing reveals that the 84-year-old has health issues.
Savannah Guthrie released a statement to NBC’s “Today” on Monday morning.
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom,” the statement said.

Police in Palm Springs deployed a drone to track and assist in the arrest of a teen e-bike rider who had reportedly been trying to bait officers into a high-speed chase.
In footage released on social media Wednesday by the Palm Springs Police Department, the teen can be seen doing wheelies and donuts while stopped at a traffic light. He is also seen performing similar stunts in an intersection.
“Instead of giving the suspect the pursuit he seemed to be looking for, officers used drone technology and coordinated tactics to safely monitor his movements into Cathedral City,” police said in an Instagram post.
Video shows the rider traveling through grass at a nearby park before getting off the e-bike in the shade of a pavilion.
Police quickly moved into the park and took the teen into custody. Video appears to show a physical struggle before he was eventually placed into a patrol vehicle.
“While seated in a PSPD patrol vehicle, the suspect apparently wasn’t thrilled with the accommodations and shattered a window, adding felony vandalism to his list of charges,” police said.

The teen, who has not been identified, was booked on suspicion of reckless driving, resisting arrest and felony vandalism.
E-bikes and e-motorcycles have been a growing concern for law enforcement across Southern California.
Data released in Riverside County shows e-bike crashes surged from 224 in 2023 to 494 in 2024, then nearly doubled again to 958 in 2025, according to county officials, who added that at least 416 incidents have already been reported this year.
Cities in Orange County have enacted new laws that include stricter penalties for violations.
On June 7, shoppers at an Orange County Walmart were left shaken after a group of teens was captured on video riding electric bikes through the store, narrowly missing customers and creating a dangerous scene.
Video obtained by KTLA shows several riders weaving through aisles at a Foothill Ranch store while customers scrambled to get out of the way.
In April, the Orange County District Attorney’s Office announced felony charges against the mother of a 14-year-old boy accused of fatally striking an 81-year-old man while riding an e-bike in Lake Forest. Prosecutors allege the mother knew her son had repeatedly engaged in reckless riding behavior before the crash.
Southern California is bracing for several days of dangerous heat, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a heat advisory for parts of Los Angeles and Ventura counties while warning beachgoers of hazardous ocean conditions along the coast.
KTLA meteorologist Henry DiCarlo said Thursday’s heat is only the beginning of a prolonged stretch of above-average temperatures expected to last well into next week.
“We’re going to be warm through the weekend,” DiCarlo said. “There is a weekend cool down, but then we get hot again next week. So this hotter trend that we have is really not going anywhere anytime soon.”
According to the National Weather Service, the heat advisory remains in effect until 10 a.m. Tuesday for portions of southwest California, including the Los Angeles County inland coast, downtown Los Angeles and the northern Ventura County mountains.
Forecasters expect highs ranging from 85 to 90 degrees across coastal valleys and 90 to 105 degrees in interior valleys.
While Southern California routinely experiences hot weather in July, DiCarlo said this event stands out because of its duration and intensity.
“It’s one thing to be hot, which is average this time of year,” he said. “But when we go 95, 100, that’s well above the average.”
Health officials urge residents to limit strenuous outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, drink plenty of water and seek air-conditioned spaces whenever possible to reduce the risk of heat-related illness.
DiCarlo also reminded pet owners to take extra precautions.
“If it’s hot for you, it’s hot for them,” he said. “Don’t leave kids, don’t leave your pets in the car. Don’t take your pet for a walk in the middle of the day. They’re not wearing shoes, and those pads can get burned rather quickly.”
The hot, humid conditions could also make temperatures feel even warmer, especially in the high desert, where actual highs are forecast to reach around 105 degrees. A chance of afternoon and evening thunderstorms next week may increase humidity, creating an even more uncomfortable feel.
Along the coast, beachgoers are also being urged to use caution as elevated surf and dangerous rip currents continue.
The National Weather Service has issued a Beach Hazards Statement through Saturday evening for Los Angeles and Ventura county beaches, where strong rip currents and breaking waves could create life-threatening swimming conditions.
Officials recommend swimming near an occupied lifeguard tower, never turning your back on the ocean and avoiding jetties and rock structures, where waves can unexpectedly sweep people into the water.
With the prolonged heat expected to continue, forecasters say residents should continue monitoring the forecast and prepare for additional advisories as temperatures remain well above seasonal averages through next week.
Loved ones are searching for a 34-year-old Southern California woman who has been missing for over a week.
Amy Lynn Edmonds, 34, was reported missing on June 28, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said.
Edmonds, who is considered at-risk, was last seen walking away from Coast Plaza Hospital in Norwalk.
She is 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 140 pounds. She has brown eyes and brown hair. She was last seen wearing a blue jacket and was carrying a black backpack.
It’s unclear where she may have been heading when she disappeared.
Authorities said Edmonds has mental health and medical issues that require medication. Neither hospital staff nor loved ones have heard from her since and they are concerned for her well-being.
Anyone who may know Edmond’s whereabouts or has information on the case can call LASD’s Missing Persons Detail at 323-890-5500.
