\nToday anchor Savannah Guthrie has been candid about her close-knit family with mom Nancy Guthrie through the years.

\u201cOn behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and messages of support,\u201d her statement read. \u201cRight now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom.

Nancy was last seen on Saturday, January 31. New details have continued to emerge about Nancy\u2019s disappearance, including that authorities could tell Nancy \u201cdidn\u2019t leave on her own\u201d and \u201cdon\u2019t see this as a search mission as much\u201d as a crime scene
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nano went on to share during a Monday press conference that there are \u201csome concerns\u201d about what they found in her home. When asked whether foul play was suspected, Nano shared that he was \u201cnot ruling it out.\u201d
\u201cWe\u2019ve pretty much just thrown everything at this that we can,\u201d Nano shared, noting that search and rescue and criminal investigation teams were called in to help alongside drones, dogs and a helicopter.

\u201cCol. Charles Camron \u2018ARLO\u2019 Guthrie on his final flight as an F-16 pilot,\u201d she wrote via Instagram at the time. \u201cHe retired from military flying this weekend and we were so honored to see his last flight.

He is the pride of our family and one of this country\u2019s finest. #applause.\u201d
Annie Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie\u2019s older sister, made an appearance on the morning show in 2017 and detailed their bond.
\u201cOur whole family just hung onto each other for dear life because it was such a shock,\u201d Savannah said at the time on Today, recalling the death of their father. \u201cWe were just trying to figure out how to become a family of four, when we had always been a family of five.\u201d
When Savannah and Annie headed off to college after their father died, the pair both decided to live at home.
\u201cWe had a spoken or unspoken pact that on the weekends, even though we were college girls, one of us would always stay home on one of the weekend nights so that my mom wouldn\u2019t be alone,\u201d Savannah said. \u201cThat was just something we did together as sisters.\u201d
In Annie\u2019s perspective, she and Savannah are deeply connected. \u201cMy sister and I are like the sun and the moon,\u201d she said. \u201cHer sorrows are my sorrows. And her successes are my successes.\u201d
Savannah noted that Annie has \u201calways taught\u201d her about generosity. \u201cShe is as happy for me if something good happens to me, as if it had happened to herself, maybe happier,\u201d Savannah noted.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nano shared during a Monday press conference that a friend from Nancy\u2019s church noticed she wasn\u2019t present at the service and called one of her children. The friend then went to Nancy\u2019s home and \u201cdid some searching and realized, \u2018We need some help,\u2019 and they called 911.\u201d<\/p>\n
