Nancy Guthrie missing in Arizona: What to know about Savannah Guthrie’s mom

Nancy Guthrie 84, mother of NBC Today host Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing Sunday after last being seen Saturday night at her Catalina Foothills residence in Tucson. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated that the search and rescue teams are actively trying to locate her, and homicide detectives are examining the scene.

She was last seen Saturday evening at her home near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue, north of Tucson, almost 9:30 p.m., according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.


A relative contacted officials around noon Sunday to report her missing, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated. “We’re pretty much just throwing everything at this that we can. Guthrie is 84 years old and is not of good physical health, and so naturally that’s a great concern,” Nanos told reporters later Sunday, adding that the scene at the residence raised “some concerns for us as well.”

Search and Investigation Efforts

“This is very concerning to us. We don’t typically get the sheriff out at a scene like this. But it’s very concerning what we’re learning from the house,” Nanos stated. “And so we’ll just continue. The detective’s homicide team is out right now looking at the scene as well.”

Health, Mobility, and Status of Nancy Guthrie

Nanos confirmed that the missing woman is Savannah Guthrie’s mother. He mentioned that she is of “good sound mind” but has physical conditions that restrict her mobility. While it is not known if foul play is indulged, the sheriff stated that investigators are not ruling it out and cited that the circumstances were critical enough to involve the department’s criminal investigation unit.

“I don't need to tell you, this is very concerning to us,” Nanos mentioned. “We don't typically get the sheriffs out at a scene like this.”
