Savannah Guthrie‘s veteran brother has flown to Arizona from his home in Vermont, as the manhunt for their mother stretches into its fourth day.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at 9.30pm on Saturday night when she was dropped off at her Tucson home by her Italian son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, 50, after an evening of playing mahjong with daughter Annie, 56.
Her son Camron Guthrie, 61, has now joined the rest of the family at his poet sister’s $650,000 ranch-style home and was seen looking grim-faced as he drove Annie away from the residence on Wednesday morning.
Camron – who is named for his father who died aged 49 in 1988 – is a decorated military veteran who spent 16 years flying F-16 fighter jets in the Air National Guard.
After hanging up his spurs in 2018, the 61-year-old now flies for the Vermont Air National Guard – a move praised by sister Savannah in a public Instagram post following his retirement.
She wrote: ‘I have never been more proud of my big brother. He has flown for our country for 26 years and continues to serve proudly in the ‘Green Mountain Boys’ — the Vermont Air National Guard.
‘He is the pride of our family and one of this country’s finest.’
Nancy was reported missing by daughter Annie on Sunday after being alerted to her mom’s absence from church by a fellow parishioner.
When she arrived at Nancy’s sprawling home, it was to find her mother gone – her medication and cellphone left behind and drops of blood splattered on her doorstep.

Police on Wednesday said they believe Nancy is still alive but in great danger following what they described as an abduction.
The investigation, which includes the FBI as well as the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, is also looking at the possibility that Nancy has been kidnapped for ransom after demand letters were delivered to TMZ and an Arizona based NBC affiliate.
Annie and her husband Tommaso looked tense as they were seen for the first time since the abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie.
They covered their faces as they left their home in Tucson, Arizona, in a dark-colored Honda SUV at 5pm MT Tuesday.
Annie held a coral-colored hoodie over the top of her scalp to try and hide her face from photographers.
Cioni pulled his t-shirt up over his mouth and nose while wearing a pair of aviator sunglasses in a bid to avoid being photographed.
The couple, who married in 2006 and have one child together, returned to their $650,000 Tucson home shortly afterwards.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said they were the last people to see Nancy alive before she vanished.
Savannah is believed to be staying with them at her home.
FBI agents visited the property around 2:30pm MT on Tuesday as they continue to investigate the kidnapping of Savannah and Annie’s mother Nancy. They left after two hours.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has not offered any information about a possible suspect or suspects, with a former FBI profiler telling the Daily Mail on Tuesday that Nancy was likely selected for abduction ‘in advance.’
Annie raised the alarm the following morning after Nancy failed to show up for church.
Ransom notes were delivered to TMZ and local news outlet KOLD on Tuesday afternoon demanding an undisclosed sum of Bitcoin.
The notes are said to have shared details about damage to Nancy’s home and what she was wearing that have not been released to the public.
Pima County Sheriff’s Office have acknowledged them but have refused to verify their contents, or confirm whether their deputies have received any ransom demands for Nancy.

Police sources told Fox News on Tuesday that Nancy’s pacemaker stopped transmitting information to her Apple Watch around 2am on Sunday.
The Apple Watch was found in Nancy’s home, suggesting she had been taken out of its range when her pacemaker stopped sending data.
At Tuesday’s press conference, Sheriff Nanos was unable to offer information about a possible suspect or suspects.
He said his deputies were still trying to obtain footage from Nancy’s doorbell camera.

Nanos said there were no tire tracks at the scene but insisted he was still hoping to bring Nancy home safe and well.
She has lived at the property since 1975.
Her husband Charles died of a heart attack in 1988 aged just 49, leaving Nancy to raise Savannah, Annie and her son Camron as a single mother.
On Monday night, Nanos welled-up when asked by a reporter if he thought Nancy was still alive and conceded the window in which she would realistically be found unharmed was closing.
Savannah has not appeared on NBC’s Today since the abduction.
The show has led with the story every day since but its reporters admitted Wednesday there was little new information to share with viewers.
Savannah issued a statement on Monday night requesting prayers. She has dropped out of hosting the Milan Winter Olympics while the hunt for her mother continues.
