Nancy Guthrie Missing: Savannah Off Air Amid Deepening Mystery

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today Show" co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for several weeks, prompting Savannah's absence from the morning program. As of February 15, 2026, authorities continue to investigate her disappearance. Nancy was last seen at her home in Catalina Foothills, Arizona, on the night of January 31. Evidence suggests she may have been taken against her will, though no arrests have been reported.

During Savannah's time off-air, Hoda Kotb has been filling in and has voiced her deep concern for the Guthrie family, calling the situation "heartbreaking." Kotb emphasized the supportive nature of their "work family" at NBC. Insiders suggest Savannah will likely remain off the air for the "foreseeable future," with colleagues reportedly finding any discussion of Savannah's contract renewal "hurtful" given the circumstances. Savannah has shared social media videos appealing for her mother's safe return.
