Sheriff Says Ransom Note Being Investigated in Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie's Mother

Authorities have classified Nancy Guthrie's Tucson home as a crime scene after evidence suggested foul play in her disappearance, with investigators urging community tips.

  • On Feb. 2, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old missing woman and mother of 'Today' co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, was last seen Jan. 31 and her Tucson, Arizona home is now a crime scene.
  • Forensic evidence at the residence showed investigators took samples hoping to yield a partial DNA profile and found signs of forced entry with evidence suggesting a nighttime kidnapping.
  • Authorities are analyzing cellphone and surveillance data, and using AI tools while urging the public to share tips and Ring videos to the Pima County Sheriff's Department at 351-4900.
  • Guthrie's limited mobility and urgent medication needs mean a timely recovery is critical, Pima County officials said, while Savannah Guthrie was absent from 'Today' and family urged prayers and community help.
  • Experts described the case as 'highly unusual' and said the FBI has offered assistance while the homicide team is involved, as Coffindaffer questioned the motive and timing.
