Police issue harrowing update in search for Savannah Guthries missing mother!

“At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night,” Nanos said. “Taken against her will includes possible kidnapping or abduction.”

He underscored the gravity of the situation by emphasizing Guthrie’s physical limitations. “We have an 84-year-old woman who went to bed Saturday night and come Sunday morning, she’s gone,” he said. “We know—or at least we strongly believe—she did not walk out of that home on her own.”

According to the sheriff, Guthrie’s mobility was significantly restricted for multiple reasons. She was not capable of traveling far without assistance, making the idea that she wandered off alone highly unlikely. That fact has become central to investigators’ reasoning.

Police have since begun reviewing home security footage from the surrounding area, asking neighbors to check cameras for anything unusual during the overnight hours. Investigators have also collected what they described as “biological DNA-type evidence” from the home, though details about the nature or source of that evidence have not been publicly disclosed.
