The search for Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, continues more than three weeks after she was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home on February 1, 2026. Savannah Guthrie announced on February 24, 2026, that her family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to her mother’s safe return.

Timeline of Events

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31, 2026, after her family brought her home following dinner at her daughter Anne’s house. A friend raised the alarm on February 1st when Nancy Guthrie failed to attend a scheduled religious function. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department believes she was taken from her home against her will.

Investigation Details

The investigation is being led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and local agencies. Authorities have released surveillance images of a masked individual tampering with a security camera at Nancy Guthrie’s home on the night of her disappearance. The FBI is also investigating whether the suspect was present at the home on a previous occasion, according to a law enforcement source reported by CBS News.

Investigators have collected multiple gloves from the area, and DNA analysis of a glove found near the home did not yield a match in the FBI’s Combined DNA Index System (CODIS) database according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department. The sample is undergoing further quality control testing at a private lab in Florida.

Ransom Demands and False Leads

Authorities investigated alleged ransom demands totaling approximately $6 million in cryptocurrency. At least one demand was determined to be a hoax, leading to the indictment of a 42-year-old man from California as reported by ABC News. Investigators have received approximately 40,000 tips from the public.

Family Plea and Donation

In a video posted on Instagram, Savannah Guthrie urged the public to continue praying for her mother’s safe return and emphasized the family’s belief in a miracle. The Guthrie family also plans to donate $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children according to the Arizona Republic.
