Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of beloved Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, is the focus of an urgent missing-persons and criminal investigation in Arizona after vanishing from her Tucson-area home under troubling circumstances. Authorities have now classified her residence as a crime scene and are urging the public to come forward with any information that might help locate her.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos addressed the case at a press conference on Monday, February 2, 2026, emphasizing that investigators have evidence suggesting Nancy did not leave her home on her own. The sheriff said, “We know she didn’t just walk out of there. We know there are other things at the scene that indicate she did not leave on her own.” Nanos then added Nancy has limited mobility but is still “sharp as a tack.”
