10 Feb
Summary
- Savannah Guthrie's 84-year-old mother, Nancy, has been missing for over a week.

Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC anchor Savannah Guthrie, has been missing from her Tucson, Arizona home since January 31, 2036. The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI are leading an intensive search operation for any signs of her whereabouts. Investigations have recently re-examined the property of Nancy's elder daughter, Annie Guthrie, and her husband, Tommaso Cioni, which Nancy visited hours before she was reported missing.
Officials returned to Annie and Tommaso's home on Monday, February 9, 2026, reportedly collecting evidence. A former FBI Special Agent explained the use of luminol, a forensic tool to detect biological traces, suggesting its application does not automatically signify a major crime scene but rather thorough documentation.
Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni have faced increased scrutiny, with reports of Tommaso being considered a suspect, though law enforcement has not confirmed this. Previously, investigators searched a septic tank at Nancy's home and seized her car and a security camera as evidence. The family describes Nancy as a 'vulnerable adult' due to health issues.
Savannah Guthrie has made public pleas for help, emphasizing her belief that her mother is still alive and urging anyone with information to come forward. The FBI has announced a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy's location or safe return.
