A family friend of NBC "Today" co-host Savannah Guthrie told CBS News that the disappearance of Guthrie's mother has been "absolutely heart-wrenching" as the Tucson, Arizona, community is set to hold a candlelight service Wednesday night to pray for the safe return of Nancy Guthrie.
Sally Shamrell, an actress and former reporter for KVOA — a local television station in Tucson where Savannah Guthrie got her start — told CBS News that the Guthries are a "very revered family" in Tucson. Shamrell told CBS News she has known the family for over 30 years.
"Nancy and Savannah have both contributed so much to the Tucson community," Shamrell said. "...They're just positive contributors and very faithful women. What's going is absolutely heart-wrenching."
The Pima County Sheriff's Department has said the the 84-year-old's disappearance is being investigated as a crime, but no suspect or person of interest has been identified. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home Saturday night, but she was not reported missing until she failed to show up for church Sunday morning, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said.
Shamrell said she helped organize Wednesday night's vigil at St. Philip's in the Hills Episcopal Church after seeing Savannah Guthrie's post Monday on social media asking for prayers.
