Tucson, Arizona. Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of NBC's 'Today,' gave her first televised interview this week, saying her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was last seen Jan. 31 and has been missing since Feb. 1; family members described finding back doors propped open and raised abduction concerns. Law enforcement calls the case an active kidnapping investigation; investigators and the FBI have reviewed surveillance footage and the family issued a renewed appeal on Mar 21 for any tips.
