Authorities have officially cleared the family of "Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie as suspects in the recent abduction of Nancy Guthrie. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed on Monday, February 16, 2026, that the family, including all siblings and spouses, have been cooperative and are considered victims in the case.
Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, disappeared from her home near Tucson, Arizona, approximately two weeks prior to the sheriff's statement. She was last seen on January 31, 2026, after having dinner with her family. Relatives reported her missing the following day. Investigators announced on Sunday, February 15, 2026, that a DNA sample from a glove discovered near her residence potentially matches a masked prowler captured on doorbell camera footage before the abduction.
The sheriff emphasized that any suggestions otherwise are inaccurate and hurtful, reinforcing the family's status as victims in this distressing event. The investigation continues as authorities work to locate Nancy Guthrie and apprehend the individual responsible for her disappearance.
