Investigators believe that the 84-year-old – who is mother to the NBC News presenter – was abducted during the night but do not think she was taken as part of a robbery, home invasion or ransom plot
Investigators looking into the disappearance of US TV host Savannah Guthrie’s mother have found signs of forced entry at her Arizona home.
Savannah Guthrie is a main co-anchor on Today, the morning show on NBC News, the US sister network of Sky News.
A person familiar with the inquiry told the Associated Press that evidence in the home of Nancy Guthrie, 84, indicated that she had been kidnapped during the night.
They said that several of Nancy Guthrie’s personal items, including her mobile phone, wallet and her car, had been left in her property.
Investigators do not believe at this point that the abduction was part of a robbery, home invasion or kidnapping-for-ransom plot, the person said.
Police officers are currently reviewing information from licence plate cameras and surveillance video from nearby homes while working to analyse data from local phone towers.
