NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie on Monday thanked her followers for offering their prayers for her mother, Nancy, who authorities say was possibly kidnapped from her home in Arizona.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on Saturday evening at her residence near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue, north of Tucson, at around 9:30 p.m. after family members dropped her off, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
In an Instagram post on Monday night, Savannah Guthrie said she believes in prayer and in God.
“We believe in prayer. We believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. We believe in goodness. We believe in humanity. Above all, we believe in Him,” she wrote along with a photo that reads, “Please pray.”

“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment,” the post continued.
Savannah Guthrie added, “We need you.”
The journalist also quoted a Bible verse as she appeared to attempt to remain optimistic about her mother’s disappearance.
“‘He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.’ A verse of Isaiah for all time for all of us,” she wrote.
“Bring her home,” Savannah Guthrie concluded.
Earlier on Monday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters that investigators found a crime scene at Nancy Guthrie’s house and that she did not leave on her own.
“We believe now, after we processed that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene that we do, in fact, have a crime,” Nanos said. “She did not leave on her own. We know that.”

While authorities initially launched a search-and-rescue mission for Nancy Guthrie, Nanos added that it has been shut down, saying, “We don’t see this as a search mission as much as we do a crime scene.”
Nanos also revealed that the woman has physical ailments that limit her mobility, but is of “good sound mind” and requires medication that could be fatal if not taken within 24 hours, according to NBC News.
“She could not walk out of that home 50 yards,” Nanos told the outlet.
Evidence also suggests Nancy Guthrie was harmed as she was being taken, but the extent of her injuries have not been revealed, according to NBC Nightly News.
