Savannah Guthrie’s Mother Abducted in Arizona: No Trace for Three Days

Savannah Guthrie, NBC’s ‘Today’ co-anchor, is enduring one of the most harrowing moments of her life after her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from her home north of Tucson, Arizona, on Saturday, January 31, 2026. Authorities confirmed it was a kidnapping following a crime scene investigation—stating unequivocally that Nancy did not leave voluntarily. Sheriff Chris Nanos of Pima County emphasized she cannot walk more than 50 meters due to severe mobility limitations and requires urgent, time-sensitive medication. Evidence suggests she sustained injuries during the abduction. Guthrie issued an emotional plea on Instagram, urging prayers and solidarity: ‘Please pray. We believe in prayer. We believe in love, hope, kindness, humanity—and above all, in Him.’ A massive manhunt is underway across Arizona.
