Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of NBC “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been officially reported missing in the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona under what authorities describe as concerning circumstances.

- A family member reported her missing to authorities on Sunday (Feb. 1) around noon, prompting an urgent search.
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has classified her as a missing vulnerable adult due to her age and physical limitations, though her family says she does not suffer from dementia or cognitive impairment.
- Search and Rescue Operation: Local authorities have mobilized search teams on the ground and in the air to locate Nancy Guthrie.
- Homicide Detectives Involved: Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that homicide detectives are assisting investigators after “concerning circumstances” were found at her home — an unusual escalation for a missing-person case that underscores the seriousness of the situation.
- Law enforcement has contacted local hospitals and medical facilities, but so far there are no verified sightings or leads on her whereabouts.
- Nancy Guthrie is described as approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, about 150 lbs, with brown hair and blue eyes. It is not known what clothing she was wearing at the time of her disappearance.
- Authorities have urged the public to assist with information, asking anyone who might have seen her to contact emergency services.
- Savannah Guthrie has been a co-anchor on NBC’s “Today” show since 2012 and has spoken publicly in the past about her close relationship with her mother.
- Nancy Guthrie’s sudden disappearance comes shortly after Savannah’s return to the “Today” show following vocal cord surgery earlier in January.
- As of the latest updates, Savannah Guthrie has not yet issued a public statement about the situation.
Sheriff Chris Nanos repeatedly emphasized law enforcement’s grave concern for Nancy Guthrie’s wellbeing, especially because of her age, limited mobility, the nighttime disappearance and cold weather conditions.
He noted that this has prompted a full-scale emergency response rarely seen in typical missing-person cases.
