Savannah Guthrie, a well-known US Today show co-host, is appealing to the public for help in finding her mother, Nancy Guthrie, who went missing from her Arizona home on January 31, 2026. In a heartfelt video message shared on Instagram, Savannah, accompanied by her siblings, urges anyone holding her mother to make contact. The family is desperate for any information that could lead to her safe return.
The 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was last seen by relatives after a dinner gathering, and her disappearance was reported three days later. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos revealed that Nancy's limited mobility and reliance on daily medication for her health made her disappearance all the more concerning. The investigation is treating her disappearance as a kidnapping, with evidence found in her home suggesting a night-time abduction.
Savannah, in her emotional plea, emphasizes the family's need for reassurance that her mother is alive and in the custody of the person or people holding her. She also addresses the media reports of a ransom note, acknowledging the possibility of forgery but urging anyone with information to come forward. The family is eager to hear from anyone who might have seen something or has any details that could aid the investigation.
The motive behind the abduction remains unknown, and investigators are exploring various leads, ruling out robbery, home invasion, and kidnapping-for-ransom as potential scenarios. The public's attention and cooperation are crucial in bringing Nancy Guthrie safely back to her loved ones.
