Emphasizes authorities’ belief she was taken against her will from her Tucson-area home
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC *Today* show co-host Savannah Guthrie, remains missing as of today (March 11, 2026). She was last seen on January 31, 2026, at her home in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson, Arizona, and was reported missing on February 1 after failing to appear at church. Authorities, including the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI, believe she was taken from her home against her will in the early morning hours, possibly around 2:28 a.m. when her pacemaker stopped syncing with devices.
The investigation is now in its sixth week (Day 39 as of today). Key recent developments include:
– The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has placed the use of **cadaver dogs** on hold, though they remain available if needed. This was reported earlier this week, with no major breakthroughs tied to it today.
– Investigators are examining a **damaged utility box** near her home, potentially linked to an internet outage that disrupted neighborhood surveillance cameras around the time of her disappearance.
– No arrests have been made, and no suspect has been publicly named, though authorities have described being “closer” based on evidence like doorbell camera footage of a possible suspect (including details about a backpack), mixed DNA challenges, and other leads.
– There are mentions of a **ransom note** and demands (e.g., $6 million in some reports), but details remain limited and unconfirmed in official channels.
– Family updates: Savannah Guthrie has returned to New York City after spending time in Arizona, and she was recently spotted in a rare public outing with her husband and son. Other family members (e.g., siblings Annie and possibly others) have been seen at the home.
– Public tips continue, with over 3,000 reported earlier, and the family has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery.
The case has drawn widespread attention, with ongoing speculation, neighbor sightings (including a suspicious man weeks earlier), and media coverage, but no confirmed resolution or major update specifically breaking today beyond the ongoing active status and the cadaver dog hold from recent days.
Prayers continue for Nancy’s safe return and for the family during this difficult time. If you have any information, contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or tips.fbi.gov, or local authorities.
