Key moments
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1, 2026, from her home near Tucson, Arizona. The investigation into her disappearance has now stretched into its eighth week, with authorities treating the case as a possible kidnapping or abduction.
In a recent interview with Hoda Kotb, Savannah Guthrie described her family’s experience as “in agony,” emphasizing the emotional toll of the situation. “We are in agony. It is unbearable,” she stated, reflecting the distress felt by her family during this challenging time.
On the night of her disappearance, a masked, armed figure was seen tampering with a security camera at Nancy Guthrie’s home. Forensic testing has revealed that Nancy’s blood was found on the porch of her residence, raising concerns about her safety and the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.
The Guthrie family is actively seeking information and has offered a $1 million reward for Nancy’s return. Additionally, the FBI is contributing to the search by offering a $100,000 reward for information that could lead to her recovery or the arrest of those involved in her disappearance.
Authorities have described the suspect as being between 5 feet 9 inches and 5 feet 10 inches tall, but details remain unconfirmed.

In a show of support for missing children, the Guthrie family donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children in February. Savannah has expressed her determination to return to the ‘TODAY’ show while continuing to support her family through this ordeal.
As the investigation continues, the community and authorities remain hopeful for Nancy Guthrie’s safe return. Savannah Guthrie concluded her interview with a poignant statement: “I still believe,” underscoring her hope amidst the uncertainty surrounding her mother’s fate.
