Deadline2/2/2026 – 2/3/2026

Summary

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC's "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, has been reported missing from her home in Arizona for over 72 hours. According to Sheriff Chris Nanos, authorities believe that Nancy, who is 84 years old, was taken from her residence against her will. The police have indicated that they suspect she may have been abducted during the night, which has prompted a nationwide search for her. Despite ongoing investigations, law enforcement has not yet determined her whereabouts (CBS News, Los Angeles Times). In response to her mother's disappearance, Savannah Guthrie has made a public plea for prayers and assistance in locating Nancy. She shared a message on Instagram, urging people to "please pray" and to "raise your prayers with us" for her mother's safe return. Savannah has not been present on the "Today" show during this distressing time, as she is focused on the search efforts for her mother. She provided a statement to her co-hosts, expressing her hope and calling for help in finding Nancy Guthrie (Deadline, Fox News). The situation has garnered significant public attention, with Savannah's plea resonating widely, including support from notable figures such as former President Donald Trump. The urgency of the case has led to heightened interest from family and friends, who are rallying together in hopes of bringing Nancy Guthrie home safely. As the search continues, Savannah remains dedicated to her mother's well-being and the efforts to locate her (Deadline, France24).
