An Arizona sheriff’s department on Feb. 4 said that people should not share “unverified accusations” in response to reports about “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, who went missing over the weekend.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tucson, Arizona-area home on Jan. 31, officials said. She was reported missing the next day. Officials have described her home as a crime scene and have suggested that she may have been abducted.
