Van Sighting Sparks Concern as 84-Year-Old Grandma Vanishes in Arizona

Nancy Guthrie's neighbor, Brett McIntire, recalled seeing a suspicious white van on their street days before the 84-year-old grandmother vanished from Arizona. The full-sized vehicle had no branding or markings, raising immediate concerns for McIntire, who reported the sighting to police. 'It was parked on the street,' he told the New York Post. 'I answered some basic questions from police about the sighting.'

McIntire now carries a pen and paper during walks, determined to document any unusual activity. His wife, Lisa, said the incident has left the family shaken. 'I'm kind of a deep sleeper,' she admitted, despite noting their home has heavy metal doors. 'It's unlikely someone could get past one of the metal doors, but we're a little concerned.'

Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her $1 million home in Tucson last weekend. Authorities believe she was abducted after her doorbell camera was disconnected around 2 a.m. on Sunday. Software data showed movement at the property at 2:12 a.m., though police acknowledge the source could be human or animal. Nancy's doorbell app had no active subscription, so no footage was recoverable.

Her pacemaker's app was disconnected from her phone at 2:28 a.m. She was reported missing after failing to appear at a church the next day. The Pima County sheriff noted Nancy has mobility challenges and requires daily medication for high blood pressure and heart issues. Despite her sharp mind, she struggles with short walks, complicating search efforts.

Six days into the search, authorities have no suspects or persons of interest. The FBI has joined the investigation, offering up to $50,000 for information. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said DNA tests confirmed blood on Nancy's front porch matched her. 'Right now, we believe Nancy is still out there,' he said. 'We want her home.'

President Donald Trump claimed he has spoken with Guthrie and directed federal agencies to assist. Savannah Guthrie, who has since stepped away from hosting NBC's Milan Winter Olympics coverage, pleaded for her mother's safe return. 'We need to know without a doubt that she is alive,' she said, voice cracking. 'We want to hear from you and we are ready to listen.'

Savannah's siblings, Annie and Camron, joined her in the emotional appeal. 'Mamma, if you're listening, we need you to come home,' Annie said. The family has not received ransom notes, but remains open to dialogue. As the search continues, the community and law enforcement remain determined to locate Nancy Guthrie, whose disappearance has gripped Arizona and beyond.
