Emotional Memorial Visit
On March 2, 2026, Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC's "Today," made a poignant public appearance at a memorial outside her mother Nancy Guthrie's home in Tucson, Arizona, marking one month since Nancy's disappearance. Accompanied by her sister Annie and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni, the family laid flowers among a growing collection of tributes, including candles and heartfelt messages from the community. The memorial has become a focal point for supporters praying for Nancy's safe return.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen on January 31, 2026, after being dropped off at her home by Tommaso following a dinner and game night. She was reported missing the next day when she failed to appear for a scheduled church service. Authorities have classified her disappearance as a suspected abduction, as personal items such as her phone and wallet were left behind.
Investigation and Search Efforts
The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI have been actively investigating Nancy's case, reviewing hours of surveillance footage and gathering DNA evidence. A masked individual was captured on security cameras near her home on the night of her disappearance, but no suspects have been identified, and DNA tests from a glove found nearby yielded no matches in the CODIS database.
Despite the ongoing investigation, the search has faced challenges, with authorities stating they have not yet established a suspect or motive. The Sheriff's Department announced plans to refocus resources specifically on this case, indicating that the investigation remains active.
Family's Plea for Information
In a heartfelt social media post, Savannah Guthrie expressed the family's anguish and their desperate need for answers. She emphasized the emotional toll of the situation, stating, "We need to know where she is. We need her to come home." The family has offered a $1 million reward for credible information leading to Nancy's recovery, in addition to a $100,000 reward from the FBI.
Savannah has also made significant contributions to organizations aiding families of missing persons, including a $500,000 donation to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children.
Community Support and Ongoing Vigil
The memorial outside Nancy's home has drawn community support, with neighbors leaving flowers and messages of hope. Savannah, Annie, and Tommaso were seen embracing at the memorial, visibly emotional as they reflected on their mother's absence. Savannah's public appearance marks a rare moment of vulnerability for the television personality, who has largely remained out of the public eye during the investigation.
As the search for Nancy continues, the family remains hopeful, urging anyone with information to come forward. The community's support and the family's ongoing efforts highlight the profound impact of Nancy's disappearance on those who love her.
