Today Show Host Renews Search for Missing Arizona Mother

TUCSON, Ariz. — NBC Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie is making another heartfelt appeal to Arizona residents, asking them to search their memories for any clues that might help locate her missing mother, Nancy.

The television host shared a new family message on her Instagram account Sunday morning, reaching out specifically to Tucson area residents and those throughout southern Arizona.

In their statement, the family expressed appreciation for community support while emphasizing their belief that someone in the region may “hold the key to finding the resolution in this case.”

“Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant,” the family wrote.

The Guthrie family is asking residents to carefully review their recollections from January 31 — the last day Nancy Guthrie was seen — through February 1, as well as the evening of January 11.

“Please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations, or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance,” the statement said “No detail is too small.”

In a particularly emotional portion of their message, the family acknowledged the possibility that their 84-year-old matriarch may have died.

“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder,” they stated.

Nancy Guthrie was officially reported as a missing person on February 1. Law enforcement officials suspect the elderly woman was taken from her home involuntarily through kidnapping or abduction. Federal investigators have released security camera footage showing a masked individual at Guthrie’s front entrance on the evening she disappeared.

The family is offering a substantial $1 million reward for information that leads to Nancy’s safe return.

Savannah Guthrie made her first appearance back at NBC’s New York studios on March 5 since her mother went missing. Network officials say she will eventually resume her regular broadcasting schedule but is currently prioritizing family matters and efforts to locate Nancy.

The disappearance occurred in Tucson’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood, an upscale residential area known for its hiking paths. The city sits roughly 100 miles south of Phoenix and about 70 miles from the Mexican border.

Savannah Guthrie has served as co-anchor of NBC’s morning program since 2012. Her former co-host Hoda Kotb has stepped in to cover her duties during this difficult time.
