In a gripping and unsettling development, a neighbor has come forward with information that may be crucial to the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. He reported noticing a suspicious white van parked on their street in the days leading up to the incident. Nancy, the mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen at her Tucson home around 9:30 p.m. on a Saturday evening, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Initially, authorities were tight-lipped about the details surrounding her disappearance. However, on Monday, Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed the gravity of the situation, stating, “we do, in fact, have a crime.” The seriousness of the case was underscored by a law enforcement source who disclosed to Fox News Digital that there were “blood drops” trailing from the entrance of Nancy’s home down the pathway toward the driveway.
Adding to this, a spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to Fox News Digital that the evidence suggests she was likely taken against her will. “Sheriff [Chris] Nanos has stated that he believes that a crime has been committed,” the spokesperson relayed, hinting at the possibility of kidnapping or abduction being involved.
This distressing situation has captivated public attention, especially given the high-profile connection to Savannah Guthrie. The mother and daughter were last publicly seen together on June 15, 2023, in a photograph captured by Nathan Congleton for NBC.

Brett McIntire, who lives across the street from Nancy Guthrie, told the New York Post he reported the unmarked van to police. He couldn’t recall exactly when he saw the van, but said it was recent.
“It was somewhere on that street. It was a white van, full-sized, with no printing on the sides. It was parked on the street,” he said. “Normally people that are coming to work on your home will have a company vehicle or if they’re independent, something written on it.”

“From now on when I’m going out and about, I’ll have a paper and pen and record anything unusual,” he added.
After Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, Brett’s wife, Lisa, said they’re considering buying security cameras.

“Brett and I were talking. And we thought well, we should probably get one,” Lisa said. “We have a pretty secure residence. Metal doors. I’m kind of a deep sleeper, so it’s unlikely someone could get past one of the metal doors. But we’re a little concerned.”
