 Disappearance of mother 
On Sunday, February 1, 2026, Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy, was reported missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home, after not showing up for a church service. Her pacemaker also disconnected from its app on her cell phone. Later that week, Savannah pleaded via social media with her brother and sister for their mother to return home safely and were willing to pay if a ransom was involved. Stains of Nancy’s blood were also found on her porch.

On Tuesday, February 10, security footage was released showing a masked man wearing gloves, trying to hide himself from the camera. No suspects have been arrested or charged as of February 10, 2026. Due to this, Savannah Guthrie withdrew from her reporting role for the 2026 Milano Cortina Winter Olympics in Italy.
