Nancy Guthrie’s family issue ‘desperate’ plea for information

Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have "desperately" pleaded with the people of Tucson to help find their missing mother, Nancy Guthrie.

The Today show host and her family reported their 84-year-old mom missing at the end of January and, as the search continues to find her, Nancy's loved ones have issued a new statement in which they expressed their belief that someone in her mom's local community in Arizona may have information leading to her return.

The statement from Savannah, Annie, and Camron Guthrie and their spouses was shared on the during the KVOA News 4 Tucson special Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, which aired on Saturday (21.03.26).

"We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now. We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realise is significant. We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of January 31 and the early morning hours of February 1, as well as the late evening of January 11.

"We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case — please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key."

Savannah and her siblings insisted they "cannot be in peace" until Nancy is found.

The statement continued: "We miss our mom with every breath and we cannot be in peace until she is home. We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder. Our focus is solely on finding her and bringing her home.

"We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life. But we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place of rest. Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing."

The statement was signed "The Guthrie Family", who were listed as "Camron and Kristine, Annie and Tommaso, and Savannah and Michael."

The Pima County Sheriff's Department (PCSD) launched an urgent search for Nancy after she failed to show up for a church service on 1 February, the day after her relatives had dropped her home.

Investigators believe she was kidnapped overnight, and have obtained surveillance footage of a masked man at her door.

Earlier this month, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos admitted that investigators believe they know the motive behind the kidnapping, but didn't offer any details.

He told NBC News: "We believe we know why [the kidnapper] did this and we believe that it was targeted, but we’re not 100% sure of that.

"I think day one, we had some strong beliefs about what happened, and those beliefs haven’t diminished.”
