The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, is in its fourth week after she was taken from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, 2026. Authorities believe she was kidnapped overnight by a masked individual captured on surveillance footage.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stated on February 20, 2026, that leads are increasing despite the slow pace. Investigators are working to identify clothing worn by the suspect, though advanced technology presents challenges. Family members have been ruled out as suspects.
Evidence at Nancy Guthrie's residence indicated foul play, and investigators are treating it as a crime scene. Sheriff Nanos confirmed no ransom note has been verified and DNA found at the scene belongs only to Nancy Guthrie. The sheriff's department and the FBI are seeking public assistance.
Sheriff Nanos expressed his commitment to finding Nancy, noting her sharp mental acuity as a cause for concern. "We're not quitting," he stated. "We'll find her. Yeah."
