“As you can imagine, this is tough on all of them,” Nanos said Us on Monday, Feb. 2, when asked how the family is doing. “They lean on each other. They work very well with us and everything we do. They are involved and committed. It’s difficult, there’s no doubt about that.”
Nanos noticed that Savannah’s sister, Annie Guthriewas the last to see their mother. (Nancy shared daughters Savannah, 54, and Annie and son Camron with deceased husband Karelwho died of a heart attack at age 49.)
When asked if Annie raised any warnings about her mother’s behavior, Nanos replied: “No, we don’t have anything like that, no.”
Nanos further noted that “you never want to lose hope” during an investigation.
“We don’t want anyone to lose hope. So that’s always there, and that’s a good thing. But in the same sense, just as there is hope, there are also things that point to us and say, ‘This lady is in danger,'” he said. “Even if she were to leave that home and still be with us, we will be on call 24 hours a day. We have spoken to her medical professionals, but we know her element, and we know what medications she needs and going without her medications… could be fatal. And 24 hours later… the time has come… [of] the essence here.”
On Sunday, February 1, news broke that Nancy had been reported missing by a family member who called 911. Nanos shared at a press conference on Monday that a friend from Nancy’s church noticed she was not at a service and called one of her children.
The friend then went to Nancy’s house and “did some searching and realized, ‘We need help,’ and they called 911.”
