Police issue harrowing update in search for Savannah Guthrie’s missing mother

“We’re pretty much just throwing everything at this that we can,” Nanos said. “Guthrie is 84 years old and is not of good physical health, and so naturally that’s a great concern. This is very concerning to us.”

He also confirmed that a homicide team had been brought in to assist, emphasizing that this step reflected the seriousness of the situation rather than a confirmed conclusion.

As the investigation progressed, authorities uncovered information that shifted their assessment. Speaking with People on Monday, Sheriff Nanos said he now believes a crime may have been committed.
