Nancy Guthrie update: Piece of skull found in Oro Valley amid search for Savannah Guthrie's mother
A piece of skull believed to be human was found in Oro Valley, miles from where Nancy Guthrie is believed to have been taken.
The skull fragment, believed to be human, was discovered in a wash near Vistoso Park and Innovation Park in Oro Valley, Arizona, on October 7, according to KOLD News. The piece was found about 10 miles from the home of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of TODAY show host Savannah Guthrie, who was reported missing on February 1.
Authorities believe she was taken from her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson the night before. The Oro Valley Police Department (OVPD) confirmed the skull fragment appeared to be human, but no other remains were found in the vicinity. The bone has been handed over to the Pima County Office of the Medical Examiner for further examination.
Despite the unsettling discovery, the OVPD and Pima County Sheriff's Department have not publicly named any suspects or suggested a potential location for the missing octogenarian. The case remains open, with authorities emphasizing that it is not a cold case. Recent speculation, including a ransom note claiming the woman was held in Mexico by the Mafia, was found to be false.
