UPDATE - 2/3/26, 12:45 p.m. ET: Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is clarifying that there was not blood found at Nancy Guthrie's home despite reports. "No, I'm not sure where that came from," he said when asked during a Tuesday, February 3, NewsNation interview whether he could confirm there was blood found at the residence. "Maybe I said something, and trust me, I've said a lot, talked to a lot of people. And some of those comments - on my fault, not the media - may have been distorted or taken out of context." He continued, "We're not confirming whether there was blood in the home or any of that. What we're saying is we do have evidence that we submitted to DNA labs, actually, through other sources that we use, and they have confirmed that the DNA that we found was in fact, belonged to Nancy, Savannah's mom, which we were hopeful that it would give us a different profile than just hers, but that's where we're at with the DNA. We have other items that we submit for DNA research and see what that comes up, but that was the first submittal we've got back, and we'll continue to wait for lab results, see if we find something else." Original story: New details are emerging amid the disappearance of Today anchor Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie. The Los Angeles Times cited law enforcement sources on Tuesday, February 3, and noted that authorities found blood inside Nancy's home. The outlet reported that the family went to Nancy's home on Sunday, February 1, and all of her personal belongings - including her wallet, cell phone and car - were still at the residence. News broke on Sunday that the 84-year-old was reported missing by a family member who called 911. She was last seen on Saturday, January 31, at her residence. Savannah Guthrie's Family Confirms 'Today' Host's Mom, 84, Is Missing While speaking exclusively to Us Weekly on Monday, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared that what was found inside the home raised eyebrows. "Something unusual at that house occurred that made us go, 'Wow, something's wrong here. Something doesn't fit,'" Nanos told Us. "We're gonna pull all the stops and go at all angles. We really do hope it's a search and rescue mission and we find her and she's safe and sound. But it would be unjust if we didn't look at what's in front of us and go, 'We need to act.'" Getty Images Nanos confirmed that Savannah, 54, and her family "really wants her back." (Nancy shared daughters Savannah and Annie and son Camron with late husband Charles, who died at age 49 from a heart attack.) "This is an 84-year-old lady who is safe in her own home asleep, and she is taken," Nanos said. "And that should never happen." Savannah Guthrie Skips 'Today' Show, Speaks Out After Mom Reported Missing In a separate interview with CBS News on Monday, Nanos added, "I believe she was abducted, yes. She didn't walk from there. She didn't go willingly." Savannah was absent from the Today Show on Monday, with Craig Melvin and cohost Sheinelle Jones filling in and sharing a statement during the broadcast on behalf of her family. "On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support," the statement read. "Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom. We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 520-351-4900." Savannah spoke out further via Instagram on Monday, alongside a graphic that read, "Please Pray."

She continued with a Bible verse, writing, "We need you. '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." Savannah concluded her message with a plea, "Bring her home."
