Savannah Guthrie Presses On in Search for Missing Mother While Returning to Today Show

NBC Today co‑host Savannah Guthrie’s 84‑year‑old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing from her Catalina Foothills home near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. Law enforcement, including the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI, treat the case as a kidnapping; a masked figure was captured on door‑bell footage and blood belonging to Nancy was found at the scene, but no suspect has been identified. The family has offered a reward of up to $1 million, supplemented by a $100,000 FBI reward for information.

Guthrie has used her national platform to keep the investigation in the public eye, posting emotional Instagram messages such as “Bring her home” and describing how she cries each morning on her way to work. After a brief leave, she returned to the Today show in April, saying the routine provides a “little respite” but acknowledging the grief remains ever present. Colleagues Jenna Bush Hager and Sheinelle Jones have publicly supported her, while viewers continue to be urged to share any tips with authorities.
