The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “Today” co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has prompted an urgent investigation in Tucson, Arizona, as authorities work to determine what happened.
As people continue to send their thoughts and prayers for the family, here is everything we know about Nancy’s gorgeous Arizona home.
Nancy Lived There For Over 50 Years
For more than half a century, Nancy Guthrie’s Tucson home has stood as a quiet constant in the life of her family — a place layered with memories, resilience and deep emotional roots.
Property records show that Nancy purchased the home in 1975 for just $85,000, according to Realtor.
Her husband’s death came when their daughter Savannah Guthrie was just 16, marking the beginning of a new chapter for mother and daughter inside the walls of the home where Savannah would finish growing up.
Nancy remained in the same house for the next 50 years, creating stability and continuity for her family while Savannah navigated adolescence, college and eventually a career that would take her far beyond Arizona.
The home is not just a residence — it is the backdrop to Savannah’s formative years, where she studied, dreamed and ultimately decided to pursue journalism.

Arizona Is Special to Savannah
Savannah returned to Arizona to tape a special “Today” show segment in October 2025 spotlighting her hometown of Tucson.
The visit included a stop at her mother’s home — the same place Savannah grew up — making the house an especially poignant focal point in recent memories.
Ahead of the segment airing, Savannah spoke openly about the emotional significance of returning home and sharing Tucson’s story with a national audience.
“I’m emotional about it. I’m very proud of Tucson,” Savannah told Tucson.com. “I think it’s an absolutely stunning and unique place to be from, and I’m really proud of it, so this has just been a joy.”
Her words underscored how closely tied her personal journey remains to the community and home that shaped her.
Savannah attended the University of Arizona, remaining in Tucson through college.
It wasn’t until after graduating that she left the state — accepting her first reporting job in Butte, Montana.
The move marked a major transition, one her mother encouraged despite how difficult it was emotionally.
Savannah has previously shared that Nancy supported her decision wholeheartedly, even though the idea of her daughter moving away was heartbreaking.
