Concern Grows for Savannah Guthrie’s Mother as Investigation Continues

Authorities in Arizona are continuing an active investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie.

Nancy was reported missing after she failed to show up for church on Sunday, prompting family members and friends to contact law enforcement.

Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson on Saturday evening.

Officials say she did not leave voluntarily and have treated her residence as a crime scene — an indication that investigators believe foul play may be involved.

Since her disappearance, police have been working closely with federal partners including the FBI, following all leads and reviewing any available footage or evidence.

A tip line has been set up by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, and authorities are urging anyone with relevant information to come forward.

Limited Facts, Active Investigation

At this stage:

No suspects or persons of interest have been publicly identified.

 

Law enforcement is continuing interviews, data analysis, and evidence collection.

Reports exist of a possible ransom note being examined by detectives, though officials have neither confirmed its authenticity nor released details.

While there is public concern about the circumstances, authorities emphasize that many questions remain unanswered.

Members of the public are reminded to avoid spreading unverified information that could interfere with the investigation or harm those involved.

Family and Public Response

Savannah Guthrie has stepped away from her television duties — including withdrawing from NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage — to be with her family during this difficult time.

Friends, colleagues, and fans across the country have expressed support and concern as details continue to evolve.

In a message shared online, Savannah thanked people for their encouragement and asked for continued thoughts and prayers as the search continues.
