The disappearance of Savannah Guthrie’s mother: new details of the investigation

Savannah Guthrie and her family are facing a difficult situation after her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, was reported missing from her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. Authorities quickly classified the case as a criminal investigation after evidence emerged indicating that Nancy did not leave her home voluntarily, and blood matching her DNA was found on her porch. Law enforcement released surveillance footage showing a masked individual tampering with the doorbell in the early morning hours of her disappearance. The FBI has increased the reward for information to $ 100,000 while DNA collected from the area is being analyzed.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos warned that the search could take weeks, months, or even years; however, he promised that authorities «will not give up», - continuing to follow leads and execute search warrants in the area. Savannah made emotional public appeals for help, sharing photos and urging anyone with information to come forward, while law enforcement continues to explore all possible avenues in hopes of finding her mother.
