Just hours before her abduction, Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” host Savannah Guthrie enjoyed an evening out with her other daughter, according to a report.

“We have a start point,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told Us Weekly of their search efforts.

“The family took her home from dinner at about 9:30 to 9:45” on Saturday night, he continued. “So we would back that up to even say 9 or 8:30 p.m. to start looking.”

Authorities believe Savannah’s sister, Annie Guthrie, was the last person to see Guthrie before her disappearance. She said she they went out to dinner that night, and she told Arizona authorities her mother did not show “any red flags” before they returned to her home outside of Tucson.

Jon Edwards, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s office in Tucson, during a press conference on Tuesday said authorities are looking at every angle, every tip and every lead in a bid to locate Guthrie — but provided no new information, otherwise.

“We’re downloading and analyzing cellphones, obtaining cell tower information, conducting interviews, and providing any and all investigative support that the sheriff’s department needs,” he told reporters.

Guthrie was reported missing around noon on Sunday by family, after she failed to show up for church. According to sources cited by the Los Angeles Times, authorities did find blood inside the residence, but they did not provide further details on the matter. All of Guthrie’s personal belongings including her wallet, cellphone and car were also present at the home, but she was nowhere to be found.

Nanos separately told People that investigators uncovered “what we believe is biological DNA-type evidence” belonging to Guthrie, and they are “are submitting it to our labs.” He did not specify what exactly the DNA evidence was, and he declined to address the matter during the Tuesday presser.

Nanos has described Guthrie’s home as a “crime scene.” She was taken “possibly in the middle of the night and that includes possible kidnapping or abduction,” he said.

“She did not leave on her own, we know that,” Nanos added. “She’s very limited in her mobility.”

The Sheriff further noted that Guthrie had no cognitive issues, and her disappearance was not linked to dementia, describing her instead as being “of sound mind” and “sharp as a tack.”

He added that she does require medication on a daily basis, and to go without for too long could prove fatal for her.

When asked on Tuesday whether investigators were looking for someone who is still alive, Nanos responded: “We hope we are,” though he did not offer any additional information.

“This is an 84-year-old lady who is safe in her own home asleep, and she is taken. That should never happen,” Nanos told Us Weekly, also adding that Savannah did not “raise any concerns” about her mother’s health prior to her disappearance.

Savannah skipped her “Today” show hosting duties Monday and Tuesday, and shared a message on Instagram, asking for prayers for her missing mother.Nanos said she remains in Arizona, where she grew up, as the investigation unfolds.

“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant,” she wrote.

“Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment,” the post continued. “we need you.”

A tip line has since been established, and the Sheriff’s Department is offering a reward of up to $2,500 for images, videos or information that leads to an arrest.
