A neighbor of the missing Nancy Guthrie has reported seeing a suspicious white van on their street just days before the mother of NBC host Savannah Guthrie disappeared from her home.
Nancy Guthrie, who is 84 years old, was last seen at her residence in Tucson around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Though the initial details surrounding her disappearance were scarce, Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed on Monday that there is indeed “a crime” involved. A law enforcement official disclosed to Fox News Digital that “blood drops” were found trailing from the entryway outside, extending down the house’s pathway to the driveway.
“Sheriff Chris Nanos has affirmed that a crime has occurred,” a spokesperson from the Pima County Sheriff’s Office conveyed to Fox News Digital. “Currently, investigators suspect she was taken from her home involuntarily, suggesting a potential kidnapping or abduction.”

Brett McIntire, Nancy Guthrie’s neighbor from across the street, informed the New York Post that he had reported the presence of the unmarked van to the authorities. Although he couldn’t pinpoint the exact date, he mentioned that the sighting 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.”
