Savannah Guthrie is confronting a new and agonising twist in the search for her missing mother after a second note claimed 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie had died following her abduction. The Today anchor addressed the unverified message on air in New York on 23 June, speaking as the case remained active and authorities made clear they had not confirmed the note's claims.
The development comes after months of deepening anxiety. Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Arizona on 31 January, and investigators soon treated the disappearance as suspicious, with local law enforcement calling the scene 'very concerning' and the FBI drawn into the case. Since then, there have been repeated appeals for information while the family has tried to keep attention on a search that has already stretched on for months.
