Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has given an update as the search for Savannah Guthrie's elderly mother, Nancy Guthrie, continues in Arizona over 48 hours after she was last seen.

Speaking to reporters at a press conference on Tuesday, Nanos shared that his office is working with the FBI to aggressively pursue "hundreds of leads" in the missing persons case. "We do believe that Nancy was taken from her home against her will, and that's where we're at," he said.

Jon Edwards, the assistant special agent in charge of the FBI's office in Tucson, joined Nanos to share how the FBI is providing the sheriff's office with "analytical and technical support" in the case, which includes "downloading and analyzing cell phones, obtaining cell tower information, conducting interviews," and providing additional investigative support.

"We are looking at this from every angle, but we need your help," Edwards said, adding, "Every lead and tip is important. We are aggressively pursuing and looking into every single one."

Nancy was last seen at her home on Saturday night, located near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue in Tucson. The next day, a church friend of Nancy's alerted the *Today* show co-anchor and her siblings, Cameron and Annie, that their mother hadn't attended morning service. After an unsuccessful search around her Tucson residence, the siblings called in authorities.

Nanos confirmed that authorities have no additional identifying information that would help the public aid in the search for the 84-year-old mother of three, such as what she was wearing at the time of her disappearance. He also declined to share further information about the crime scene, including whether there was evidence of forced entry.

During a previous press conference on Monday, Nanos said the sheriff's Department has classified Nancy's home as a crime scene, citing what officials described as "very concerning" conditions. Nanos didn't elaborate on what had made them suspicious.

The crime scene has now been fully processed, Nanos added. "The scene is done," he said. "We have turned [the house] over to the family."

Concluding the press conference, Nanos said he would not hold another until Thursday, "unless something breaks" before then. "We have a lot of work in front of us," he added. "We have a job to do, and we have someone's life who is in jeopardy."

In the wake of Nancy's disappearance, Savannah was absent from *Today* on Monday and Tuesday. On Monday, Savannah asked the public to pray for her mom's safe return in posts across her social media. "We believe in prayer. we believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. we believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him," she captioned an image of the words "Please pray."**

"I hit my knees and prayed and I don't think I've ever prayed for anything harder in my life," *Today* co-anchor Carson Daly said during Tuesday's show. Craig Melvin also urged the public to speak if they know anything, saying, "Again, we know someone out there knows something. Call."
