Police in Tucson, Arizona are searching for Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC News anchor Savannah Guthrie, after she was reported missing on Monday. Detectives treated the home as a crime scene and began a systematic sweep of the property.

The breakthrough came when neighbor Laura Gargano pointed out that the roof appeared unusually clean in a recent drone fly‑over. Officers inspected the roof and uncovered a small security camera that had been concealed among the shingles. The device is now being examined for footage that could reveal who entered or left the house.

Detectives also recovered a set of footprints leading away from the back door, which they are matching against local surveillance. The camera’s memory card is expected to be downloaded within the next 24 hours.

Fact: Tucson’s police missing‑persons unit processes roughly 1,200 reports each year.

With the camera evidence in hand, investigators are focusing on identifying any persons captured on video and locating Nancy Guthrie, who remains missing.
