Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie, vanished from her home in Tucson, Arizona on February 1, leaving investigators with limited leads after more than two months.[1] The disappearance was reported at 11:56 a.m. that day.[1] Police confirmed the case as a kidnapping, discovering signs of forced entry and blood evidence at the residence.[1] DNA testing conducted on February 5 confirmed that blood found on the front porch belonged to Nancy Guthrie.[1]
The FBI escalated its response by issuing a reward for information, initially offering $50,000 before increasing it to $100,000 on February 12.[1] Video footage recovered by the FBI on February 10 showed an armed individual tampering with the home's doorbell camera.[1] According to authorities, the suspect is described as a male of average build, approximately 5 feet 9 inches tall, and was seen wearing a black 25-liter Ozark Trail backpack.[1]
Savannah Guthrie returned to her duties as co-host of the "Today" show on April 6, more than two months after her mother's disappearance.[1] She had granted her first television interview on March 26.[1] In her public statements, Guthrie expressed the family's anguish, saying "We are in pain," while indicating that the family has not abandoned hope despite evidence suggesting her mother may no longer be alive.[1]
