Authorities in Arizona were seen Saturday night leaving the home of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's sister as the search for their missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues.
According to KGUN, the Scripps News Group station in Tucson, authorities spent "several hours" inside Annie Guthrie's home before leaving with what appeared to be a brown paper sack and another larger item. However, the Pima County Sheriff's Department did not say why they were at the home.
Nancy Guthrie has now been missing for more than a week, and authorities believe she was taken from her home against her will. The Pima County Sheriff's Office has said they still do not have a suspect.
