7 May
Summary
- Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today show on May 7, 2026.
- Her mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since February 1, 2026.
- Authorities have ruled out family members as suspects in the disappearance.
Savannah Guthrie rejoined the Today show on May 7, 2026, appearing in high spirits just one day after an unexpected departure. Her absence on May 6, 2026, occurred about 30 minutes before the program concluded, with co-anchor Craig Melvin informing viewers of her exit and promising her return the following day. This recent event follows a significant hiatus Guthrie took from the show.
Earlier in 2026, Guthrie was absent for two months after her mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, went missing from Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. She expressed emotional apprehension about returning to work, viewing the Today show as her "family" and a place of "joy and lightness."
The investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance, which is ongoing as of May 7, 2026, has involved the Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI analyzing DNA evidence. While Annie and Tomasso Cioni were initially considered, the Pima County Sheriff has officially cleared all Guthrie family members and their spouses as suspects, emphasizing their victim status in the case.
