Nancy Guthrie (84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie) was reported missing on February 1, 2026
However, reliable sources (including major outlets like NBC News, CNN, Fox News, BBC, Wikipedia’s entry on the case, and others) consistently report as of February 19, 2026, that:
Nancy Guthrie (84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie) was reported missing on February 1, 2026, after last being seen on January 31, 2026, at her home in Catalina Foothills, Arizona.
Authorities believe she was abducted/forcefully taken from her home (evidence includes blood at the scene confirmed as hers, doorbell camera footage of a masked armed individual tampering with the camera around 1:47 a.m. on February 1, a glove found nearby with DNA that didn’t match national databases, biological evidence being analyzed, ransom notes received but unverified, etc.).
The investigation is active and ongoing, involving the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, FBI, and others. Thousands of tips are being followed, family members have been cleared as suspects, there’s no evidence of a cross-border abduction to Mexico (though contacts were made), and officials express continued “faith and hope” that she is alive.
No credible reports mention her body being found, death confirmed, or any discovery of remains. Searches and updates focus on her still being missing (now over 18 days), with pleas for information and no closure announced.
