Savannah Guthrie's Mom Still Missing at 122 Days

Four Months Gone

On the morning of February 1, 2026, Nancy Guthrie left the world’s awareness and has not returned. The 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie was taken from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood of Tucson, Arizona. Today - June 3 - marks 122 days since she was last seen.

No arrest has been made. No suspect has been publicly named. The investigation is ongoing.

What Happened That Morning

Evidence at Nancy Guthrie’s home told investigators she did not leave willingly. Blood was found on the front porch, which a retired FBI agent described to Fox News as indicating a ‘last stand’ - signs that Nancy fought back before being taken.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed early in the investigation that he believed she had been abducted. A multi-agency response was assembled quickly: the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, the FBI, US Customs and Border Protection, and search-and-rescue teams all joined the effort. Surveillance footage from the area was reviewed. The neighborhood was canvassed.

She was not found.

The Ransom Notes

Within days of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, ransom notes appeared. Multiple notes - their exact origin still undetermined - demanded payment in cryptocurrency. Two payment deadlines passed by February 9 without resolution.

On February 24, Savannah Guthrie’s family publicly offered $1 million for information that leads to Nancy’s safe recovery. The reward has not been claimed.

In May, as the case reached the 100-day mark, investigators told CNN that ‘scientific evidence processing and digital media analysis remain ongoing.’ No public update has named a suspect or described who is believed to be responsible for her abduction.

Savannah Guthrie’s Response

Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today anchor desk after a period of absence following her mother’s disappearance. In late March, she sat with former co-host Hoda Kotb for a three-part interview that aired on Today, addressing the ordeal publicly for the first time.

She did not say her mother was dead. She did not say she had given up hope. She described living inside a situation that has no answers and no timeline.

Nancy Guthrie’s daughter is one of the most recognized faces in American morning television. The investigation into her mother’s kidnapping has received sustained national attention and significant law enforcement resources. After 122 days, the attention has not produced an arrest.

What Investigators Are Doing

Pima County Sheriff’s investigators continue to lead the case with FBI assistance. Forensic evidence collected from the home is still being processed. Digital media analysis - likely including phone records, surveillance data, and financial transaction tracing related to the cryptocurrency demands - remains active.

Searches of nearby properties have been conducted. At least one property search was completed by investigators in the months since the abduction, though officials have not disclosed what, if anything, was found.

The 84-year-old who walked out of her front door in Tucson on February 1 has not been seen in 122 days. Her family is still waiting.
