‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother is missing in Arizona and authorities suspect crime​

The disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie over the weekend is being investigated as a crime based on what authorities saw at her home, an Arizona sheriff said Monday.

Asked to explain why investigators believe the Tucson-area home is a crime scene, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said Nancy Guthrie has limited mobility and said there were other things indicating she did not leave on her own, but he declined to further elaborate.

“I need this community to step up and start giving us some calls,” Nanos said during a news conference.

The sheriff said Guthrie, who lived alone, was of sound mind.

“This is not dementia related. She’s as sharp as a tack. The family wants everyone to know that this isn’t someone who just wandered off,” Nanos said, adding that she needs her daily medication.

Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at her home in the Tucson area and her family reported her missing around noon Sunday, the sheriff said.

Nanos said a family member received a call from someone at church saying Guthrie wasn’t there, leading family to search for her at her home and then calling 911.

“From what the family’s told us and everything we’ve learned, she could not walk out of that home 50 yards. We believe she was taken out of the home against her will, and that’s how this investigation is moving,” the sheriff told NBC’s Tom Llamas.


On Monday morning, Nanos said search crews worked hard but have since been pulled back.

“We don’t see this as a search mission so much as it is a crime scene,” the sheriff said.

Even so, a sheriff’s helicopter flew over the desert Monday afternoon near Guthrie’s home in the affluent Catalina Foothills area on the northern edge of Tucson. Her brick home has a gravel driveway and a yard covered in Prickly Pear and Saguaro cactus.

Savannah Guthrie issued a statement on Monday, NBC’s “Today” show reported.

“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” she said. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear Nancy.”

That's her family, I think. And just fyi .. agave or aloe plant.

We call them pineapple palms.

 

[Tresir]

Where is this coming from?? And what courtroom setting?? Are they just talking of the taped family videos, etc. there?

$9,000 from whose accounts? Hers? A family member's? Where does that info come from??

I have never eliminated family, and that means ANY family member but I do not agree with as Banfield did and naming someone a suspect who we have never been told is, and now tons of people name him everywhere. That's what I don't agree with. And what she did also if it was them did NOTHING to help Nancy or the investigation.

I mean even sources here are not reporting this stuff so where did this all come from?

In the article it says it is from the FBI.

 

[GrandmaBear]

In the article it says it is from the FBI.

Yeah I know. But are they quoting someone else who said that and why aren't they more specific. Heck we have agents in every city, etc. and not just in our own country.

 

[Tresir]

IDK. I just post articles that I find that have new stuff in them. If you don't believe it, that's fine.

 

[GrandmaBear]

IDK. I just post articles that I find that have new stuff in them. If you don't believe it, that's fine.

I've no problem with anything you post, in fact, it shows us how different things are being reported elsewhere which is a good thing. It just throws me in with all the overboard coverage here, nothing similar has come out with all the leaking supposed sources, etc. Don't quit, I certainly never mean it that way. We all get our own propaganda. Or fake news. Or hopefully sometimes real news.

I'm just wondering what the heck...

It's good to share so we all know if we are being lied to or told the truth... It's just so different than anything reported here...

 

[Guess Who]

 

[Cousin Dupree]

Like I said. The biggest clue will be something they glossed over from the start.

 

[GrandmaBear]

Entin always has to have one if not 3 a day. Imo it's getting old. I find his guest overly intense over nothing and she's no expert. At least in this one. Maureen I like but this one not so much.

Speculation about whether SG is going back to NY.

Video footage b.s. and more.

He slips in that SG has been staying in a rental house nearby. Leave this family alone!!!

I figured that had to be coming. She has kids in school, HOW do you do this without entirely losing it day after day with no news? I've had it with the media in this case and what they are doing to this case and this family including Brian sorry to say.

I can't even imagine being in their shoes and more than many families have been with regard to someone missing but with this absolutely ridiculous media ruining activity?

I like getting news on cases but not like this and not when it endangers the one missing. Lately he too is just trying to drum up anything to hype the case and his coverage. Imo.

I'm only sharing to see that's all it is imo. Not going to be sharing much for links unless significant from hereon out.

 

[Tresir]

I guess we will just have to wait and see if it is true. I just don't see where our agency would be sharing those kinds of things with reporters of one of your media outlets and to none here. The way ours have acted in this case might explain it though (just kidding).

What they said in it really isn't clear either as to what they are talking about or of who, not entirely. It almost makes me think of a grand jury proceeding, like I said I don't get the courtroom remarks in the article.

The only other reason I can think of is would there be someone from your country involved...

I also see no one else here commenting on it which I find odd, or is it because they don't take it as fact. No idea.

Could be someone on the investigation blabbing and getting out but it doesn't mean it's wrong either. Sometimes they have managed leaks too.

 

[Guess Who]

Like I said. The biggest clue will be something they glossed over from the start.

I'm sure of that, too.

 

[Cousin Dupree]

Videos falsely claim Nancy Guthrie's body was found in pond near Catalina Foothills

People shared the news-report-style videos with footage showing police handling human remains during past, unrelated investigations.

Yeah, sometimes. I can't see in this case any smart, managed leaks though.

13 Hours ago.

 

[Kimster]

I hope the family gets the home back soon. There has to be a LOT to take care of after nobody being there for nearly a month. Fridge, freezer, indoor plants, etc. Many things can go bad in a house that has not been occupied for a length of time if it wasn't prepped to be unoccupied.

Not to mention critters! They love abandoned homes.

 

[Guess Who]

Not to mention critters! They love abandoned homes.

Especially if it is one that has any kind of food accessible.

So many issues that need to be addressed and others that need looked at to make sure nothing is wrong.

 

[RoundPeg]

I wonder if the quality is good enough to pull anything of value.

 

[Kimster]

I wonder if the quality is good enough to pull anything of value.

Might not be, but hopefully it can collaborate something else we don't know about.

 

[Guess Who]

About time these neighbors got a break.

Nancy Guthrie Search: Police Widen Parking Ban As Ex-FBI Agents Claim Savannah Is Using ‘Code Words’

Pima County authorities have expanded parking restrictions around missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie's home in Tucson, Arizona, to curb traffic from bloggers.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department appears to be shifting gears in the Nancy Guthrie disappearance case. Police have now tightened parking restrictions around Nancy’s home as the search for the 84-year-old continues. According to ABC News, officials have announced extended parking restrictions. These apply to bloggers and media outlets involved in the case.


After complaints about disturbances in the Tucson area grew, police initially assigned separate parking areas.
With the rising number of complaints, Pima County officials have decided to go ahead with the expansion of no-parking zones.

The no street parking restrictions began today in Nancy Guthrie’s neighborhood in day 26 of the search for the 84 year-old. This follows weeks of congestion along the road in front of her home. pic.twitter.com/oF3nU926Oz

This also means that there will be no street parking across several streets surrounding Nancy’s home. The parking ban has taken effect from Thursday, February 26. Violators of these zones and restrictions will be subject to a $250 fine. In addition to the parking restrictions, security around the house is also being amped up to aide the investigation process. Whether or not it progresses smoothly remains to be seen.


This decision comes because authorities failed to regulate traffic around Nancy’s home. Cars parked around the local area were a major safety concern and caused traffic congestion in the surrounding streets. That is why the parking ban has expanded to several streets near Nancy’s home. The goal is to tackle this problem and keep the investigation on track.


The disappearance of Nancy, the mother of Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, has captured the attention of many, including social media bloggers. They have been actively reporting snippets of the case. This has reportedly caused hindrance to the ongoing investigation.


Multiple reports suggest that those parked outside have been littering and causing other problems.

Travel restrictions on Guthrie’s street begin tomorrow, entry to the street will be limited to the west end and parking cannot occur on the side of the road where Guthrie lives.

This follows concerns over things like trash pickup and Rural Metro’s ability to respond in the area https://t.co/jM9QiaKGMH

This has prompted neighbors to place signs and cones on their property. They hope to ward off bloggers and reporters seeking coverage on the case. Their findings can sometimes lead to fringe conspiracy theories, which the police, in some cases, feel compelled to address.


However, in doing so, officers lose precious time that can be utilized in the investigation. However, not everyone shares these concerns as some neighbors have actually been pretty supportive of the bloggers and reporters present in the area.


Some have even left messages, flowers and yellow ribbons. These show their support for the detectives and those covering the case. As mentioned earlier, Nancy’s disappearance has drawn quite a lot of traction on social media. With updates from the police, each piece of information is being analyzed by fringe sleuths and online experts.

We’re now in the fourth week of the search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, the mother of NBC “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, who went missing from her Tucson-area home on Feb. 1. Nancy Guthrie disappearance: Day 26 latest updates

— FOX 13 Tampa Bay (@FOX13News) February 26, 2026

Recently, crime studies professor and former Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) agent Dr. Bryanna Fox claimed to have made a unique discovery related to the case. Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Fox said that she spotted alleged code words that Savannah might have been using in her Instagram videos. Jason Pack, another ex-FBI agent, also shared Fox’s views.


They feel that some of Savannah’s word choices might be a means to address Nancy’s alleged kidnappers. They pointed to specific words like “celebrate” and “we will pay” as possible signals to the abductors. They later suggested a social media blackout to hopefully weed out the perpetrators quicker. For now, the desperate hunt for the 84-year-old continues.

Brian Entin said one of the neighbors that he befriended is letting him park in her driveway. I am wondering if they felt safer with the activity around them.
