Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos says the house is being treated as a crime scene and investigators believe she may have been taken.
She has limited mobility and needs daily medication, so police worry for her safety. The FBI is assisting and volunteers and search teams have helped look for her. Savannah Guthrie asked people to pray for her mother and thanked everyone for support.
