One week since Nancy Guthrie was last seen, here's what we know
Nancy Guthrie was last seen a week ago. In the days since, investigators have launched a frantic search to return the 84-year-old home.
www.npr.orgHere’s the latest publicly reported update on Nancy Guthrie’s case:
- Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC’s Savannah Guthrie, was reported missing on January 31 near Tucson, Arizona. Authorities have treated it as a criminal investigation with indications that she was taken against her will; investigators have discussed possible kidnapping or abduction scenarios.[2][3][4]
- As of early February 2026, substantial search efforts were ongoing, involving local sheriff’s deputies, search and rescue teams, and federal partners. Officials described the case as serious and noted evidence at the home that prompted the abduction possibility, including blood found on the porch and the absence of a routine security camera footprint from the scene.[3][5][2]
