Agony for ‘Today’ Host Savannah Guthrie as 84-Year-Old Mother Goes Missing in Arizona

A tense search is underway in Tucson, Arizona, for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s ‘Today’ co-anchor Savannah Guthrie. She vanished mysteriously over the weekend, last seen Saturday night at her home. Authorities have deployed drones, K-9 units, and the homicide task force — an unusual step for a missing persons case. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated the investigation was escalated due to concerning details observed during the initial walkthrough, and officials have not ruled out criminal involvement. Nancy faces some physical health challenges but remains cognitively sound. On Monday, Savannah issued a heartfelt statement through NBC: ‘On behalf of our family, we thank everyone for your thoughts, prayers, and messages of support. Right now, our focus remains on Nancy’s safe return.’ The ‘Today’ show opened with coverage of her disappearance, and Savannah was absent from the panel.
