Search for Nancy Guthrie: Savannah Guthrie, family appeal to Tucson, Arizona community for clues in disappearance

Savannah Guthrie is making renewed calls for assistance from the Tucson, Arizona community as she seeks fresh leads regarding the disappearance of her mother, Nancy. Residents, friends, and neighbors are being urged to reflect on any potential recollections that might aid in the search.

This appeal came to light when the “Today Show” co-host shared a heartfelt family statement on her Instagram account on Sunday morning, shortly after the show’s official account had posted it as well.

The family expressed their appreciation for the community’s support and emphasized their belief that someone in Tucson or southern Arizona might possess crucial information that could help resolve this case.

“Someone knows something,” the family insists. “It’s entirely possible that a piece of information held by a community member could be more significant than they realize.”

They have prompted locals to revisit their memories, particularly focusing on the period between January 31, when Nancy Guthrie was last seen, and February 1, as well as the evening of January 11.

The statement advises, “Please review any camera footage, journal entries, text messages, or conversations that, upon reflection, might hold importance. Every detail matters, no matter how minor it may seem.”

The family also acknowledged in the statement that their matriarch may no longer be alive.

“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder.”

Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on Feb. 1. Authorities believe the 84-year-old was kidnapped, abducted or otherwise taken against her will. The FBI released surveillance videos of a masked man who was outside Guthrie’s front door on the night she vanished.

The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of their mother.

Savannah Guthrie visited the NBC “Today Show” studio in New York City for the first time since her mother’s disappearance on March 5. The show said she plans to return to the air at some point but “remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home.”

Tucson is a little over 100 miles (160 kilometers) south of Phoenix and 70 miles (115 kilometers) north of the Arizona-Mexico border. The Catalina Foothills, the neighborhood where Nancy Guthrie lives, is known as an affluent area with popular hiking trails.

Savannah Guthrie has been a co-anchor of the venerable NBC morning show since 2012. One of her former colleagues, Hoda Kotb, has returned to “Today” to fill in while Guthrie has concentrated on finding her mother.

Anyone with information is urged to call 911, the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI, or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.
