Today Show Host’s Mother Missing In Arizona As Homicide Detectives Join Search

The mother of Savannah Guthrie has been reported missing in Arizona under what authorities described as “concerning circumstances.”

Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at her home in Catalina Foothills, a community north of Tucson, according to the Pima County Sheriff’s Office, per the New York Post.

Officials said Guthrie is “not in good physical health” and was classified as a “vulnerable adult.” A relative placed a 911 call around noon Sunday to report her missing, Sheriff Chris Nanos said during a press conference.

 

Authorities later confirmed that Nancy Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, who has served as a co-anchor of NBC’s Today since 2012, according to ABC15 Arizona.

The case is being treated as a large-scale search and rescue mission. Homicide detectives were also seen processing the elderly woman’s home — a step officials said is not standard protocol in typical missing-person cases.
