A nightmare has unfolded for Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie after her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, vanished from her Arizona home just hours after a normal family dinner. She was last seen the night of January 31, dropped off safely at her Catalina Foothills residence. By the next morning, she had missed church—something completely out of character.
When family arrived, they found her phone, watch, wallet, and car still at home. Nothing suggested she left voluntarily. Given her fragile health and limited mobility, authorities quickly grew concerned. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department launched a massive search using helicopters, drones, and infrared technology. Soon after, her home was declared a crime scene, and investigators stated they believe she was abducted.
The situation grew more alarming when a small trail of blood was reportedly found leading from the house to the driveway. Its source remains unknown. Neighbors reported unusual activity, and residents were urged to check surveillance footage between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.
What began as a quiet morning in an affluent neighborhood has turned into a chilling and unresolved mystery.
