Arizona detectives seek photos, videos in Nancy Guthrie search

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department continued to ask for the public’s help in finding missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie as the search for the mother of NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie neared its third day near her Tucson home.

“At this point, investigators believe she was taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night. Taken against her will includes possible kidnapping or abduction,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said earlier in the day.

Investigators have teamed up with the FBI and U.S. Border Patrol while detectives went door-to-door asking neighbors for any helpful information or images from home security cameras. The department is also trying to find any traffic camera footage that might explain where Guthrie went.

“Our department has established a Tip Line QR code to streamline the sharing of information. Through this link, https://pimasheriff.evidence.com/axon/community-request/public/nancy-guthrie, members of the public can directly submit photos or videos that may be helpful to the investigation,” Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Angelica Carillo said in an emailed news release in the evening of Feb. 2.

Savannah Guthrie issued a brief statement on behalf of her family on the “Today” show in the morning.

“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 mom.”

She thanked law enforcement officials and encouraged anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which advised the public to call 911 or this number: 520-351-4900.

Her mother was described as a white female, approximately 5 feet 5 inches tall, weighing about 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. It was unknown what clothing she might be wearing.

She was last seen on the evening of Jan. 31, 2026, about 9:30 p.m. at her residence near Skyline Drive and Campbell Avenue in the Catalina Foothills part of metro Tucson.
