Seeing Mom’s Back Doors Left Open Prompted Panic

Savannah Guthrie says she knew her mom, Nancy, hadn’t just wandered off when she surveyed the scene at her home … and she focused on one eerie clue in particular — the doors were left propped open.
In an interview with her “Today” co-anchor, Hoda Kotb, Savannah revealed her first thoughts when hearing about her mom’s disappearance.
She said, “We thought she must have had some kind of medical episode in the night and that somehow the paramedics had come, because the back doors were propped open, and that didn’t make any sense.”
According to Savannah, she urged the police early on that this wasn’t the usual case of an elderly person wandering off. In addition to the back doors being suspiciously left ajar, the Ring camera had been ripped off.
Plus, Nancy was infirm to the point where she had trouble making it to the mailbox most days, let alone down the street.
“We were saying, this is, this is not okay,” Savannah recalled. “This isn’t, something is very wrong here.”
At this time, Nancy has not been declared dead … but as an elderly woman who has now gone nearly two months without her daily medication, the family has clearly come to terms with the possibility she is no longer with us. Despite this, Savannah herself has continued to hold onto hope that she can still be found alive.
