Authorities in Arizona announced late Sunday that they are actively searching for the mother of Savannah Guthrie, co-host of NBC’s “Today” show.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department reported that Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was last seen at her home near East Skyline Drive and North Campbell Avenue, just north of Tucson, around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday.
A family member reached out to law enforcement at noon on Sunday to file a missing person’s report, as stated by Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.
“We are fully committed to this search. At 84 years old, Nancy Guthrie is in poor physical health, which is deeply concerning to us,” Nanos told reporters on Sunday. He also mentioned that certain aspects of the situation at her residence were troubling.
“We’re pretty much just throwing everything at this that we can. Guthrie is 84 years old and is not of good physical health, and so naturally that’s a great concern,” Nanos told reporters later Sunday, adding that the scene at the house raised “some concerns for us as well.”

“This is very concerning to us. We don’t typically get the sheriff out at a scene like this. But it’s very concerning what we’re learning from the house,” Nanos said. “And so we’ll just continue. The detective’s homicide team is out right now looking at the scene as well.”

Nanos confirmed the woman is Savannah Guthrie’s mother. He said she is of “good sound mind” but has physical ailments that limit her mobility.
The sheriff said investigators are not ruling out foul play and noted that the circumstances were serious enough to involve the department’s criminal investigation unit.
