When Nancy Guthrie missed church one Sunday, a friend grew concerned. That worry led to a call that shattered an ordinary day for her daughters, Savannah and Annie.
They rushed to their mother’s Arizona home, searching every room and corner. They clung to hope that a simple explanation would emerge.
It did not. After their frantic search turned up nothing, they dialed 911. In that moment, concern crossed into horror.
Investigators now believe Nancy did not leave on her own. They are working under the assumption that someone took the 84-year-old from her own bed.
Aerial units and ground teams are scouring the area. Detectives are pursuing leads, treating the case as an abduction.
Savannah, absent from her usual public role, has turned to faith. She pleads for prayers and unity, asking the public to help bring her mother home.
Behind the headlines is simply a daughter waiting. She holds onto hope that her mother will walk through the door again.
