Authorities have searched the home of a family member as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The search was conducted at the residence of Nancy’s eldest daughter, Annie Guthrie. Annie, a published poet and educator, is the sister of television journalist Savannah Guthrie. Law enforcement officials described the search as a standard procedural step in the case.
In a heartfelt video message posted online, Nancy Guthrie’s three children made a public appeal for her safe return. “She is our beacon, and that light is missing from our lives,” Annie Guthrie said in the recording. “We are just normal human people who need our mom. Mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you.”
According to reports, Annie and her husband were among the last people to see Nancy Guthrie before she was reported missing.
The Guthrie siblings have historically been a close-knit unit, a bond that strengthened after the death of their father decades ago. Savannah Guthrie has previously referred to her older sister as her “forever partner in life,” describing a deep, intuitive connection between them.
Annie Guthrie, who lives in Tucson, Arizona, is an accomplished writer. She has published a book of poetry and has received several literary awards. Her professional life also includes work in publishing and a commission-based jewelry business.
The investigation remains active. No further details about the search or the status of the disappearance have been released by officials at this time.
