As the search for “Today” show co‑anchor Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, presses into its third week, the family is drawing strength from one another amid heartbreak and uncertainty.
Nancy, 84, was reportedly abducted from her home in Tucson, Arizona, on Feb. 1. Authorities believe she was taken against her will, and an extensive investigation involving the FBI and local law enforcement continues to pursue leads.
A source close to the family told People, “This has been an incredibly emotional and stressful time for her and her family. They’re leaning on one another for support while hoping for answers.”
Savannah, 54, has stepped away from her broadcast duties to focus on her mother’s case, remaining in Arizona alongside her siblings and loved ones.
The family has issued public appeals for information and assistance as they navigate an intensely emotional period that has drawn national attention.
Powerful Video Appeals and Growing Public Concern
Early in the investigation, Savannah and her siblings shared a series of heartfelt videos addressing their mother’s possible captor and the broader public.
On Feb. 4, Savannah, flanked by her sister, Annie, and brother, Camron, pleaded directly for proof that their mother was alive and urged whoever took her to come forward.
They acknowledged reports of ransom demands and stressed they were ready to listen.
The next day, Camron Guthrie posted his own video urging whoever may be responsible to reach out, emphasizing the family’s desire for communication and clarity amid mounting anxiety.
On Feb. 7, the siblings appeared together again, with Savannah saying, “We received your message, and we understand. We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”
Days later, on Feb. 12, Savannah shared a tender childhood video of her with Nancy, pairing it with a message of gratitude for support and a vow: “Our lovely mom. We will never give up on her.”
Ongoing Investigation and Family Unity
Law enforcement has reiterated that no family members are considered suspects and confirmed the Guthrie family has fully cooperated with investigators.
Authorities have released surveillance imagery of a masked individual at the Guthrie home around the time of Nancy’s disappearance, and found DNA on gloves near the property that have not yet matched any national database profiles.
The FBI is offering a $100,000 reward for information leading to Nancy’s safe return or to an arrest, and family members continue to urge the public to come forward with any credible leads.
Through it all, the Guthrie family’s unity has been a central theme — leaning on each other for strength, love, and hope as they wait for answers and pray for Nancy’s safe return.
