  • Savannah Guthrie stopped by the Manhattan studio of the “Today” show on Thursday.
  • The morning show co-host has been on hiatus from the NBC program since her mother’s disappearance.
  • A “Today” spokesperson said Guthrie has plans to return to the show one day.

“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie visited the New York City studio of the NBC morning program on Thursday as the search for her missing mother entered its 33rd day.

Guthrie has been on hiatus from the show and with her family in Arizona since her mother’s mysterious February 1 disappearance. Last month, Guthrie dropped out of NBC’s coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan amid the crisis.

Authorities believe that Guthrie’s 84-year-old mom, Nancy Guthrie, was abducted from her ranch-style home just outside Tucson, AZ, more than four weeks ago.

“Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her ‘TODAY’ colleagues,” a “Today” show spokesperson told NBC News in a statement on Thursday. The “Today” show and NBC did not immediately respond to Business Insider’s request for comment.

The spokesperson added that Savannah Guthrie plans to return to co-hosting the morning show at some point, though no timeline was provided.

“While she plans to return to the show on air, she remains focused right now supporting her family and working to help bring Nancy home,” the spokesperson said.

Last week, Savannah Guthrie announced that her family is offering as much as $1 million for the return of her mother, while acknowledging that the elderly woman may be dead.

The veteran anchor said in an Instagram video message that her family still believes “in a miracle,” but said, “We also know that she may be lost.”

The reward offered by the Guthrie family is on top of the $100,000 that the FBI has already offered for information related to Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

As the search for Nancy Guthrie drags on, local law enforcement and the FBI are still trying to identify the masked and armed man who was captured on footage from the woman’s missing Nest doorbell camera the night she vanished.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said investigators found drops of blood on Nancy Guthrie’s porch that were later confirmed to be hers.

  • Police have detained an individual in connection with Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Department said the subject was being questioned about the case.
  • Nancy Guthrie, mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing for over 10 days.

The police have detained a person linked to the disappearance of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie.

In a statement on X on Tuesday, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department said that earlier in the day, officials had detained an individual “during a traffic stop south of Tucson.”

“The subject is currently being questioned in connection to the Nancy Guthrie investigation,” the statement said.

This comes hours after the FBI and the sheriff’s department released videos of an individual in a full-faced ski mask arriving at Nancy Guthrie’s home in Tucson, Arizona, on the morning of her disappearance.

Officials described the individual as being armed and said that they had tampered with the camera on Nancy Guthrie’s front door. The videos were taken via her Google Nest doorbell.

The statement did not specify whether the detained individual was the one filmed in the Nest doorbell video. It added that additional information will be released as it becomes available.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing since February 1. Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County, told the media that officials believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”

Officials confirmed that the blood found on the porch of Nancy Guthrie’s home belonged to her.

A week after her disappearance, Savannah Guthrie said her family had received a message linked to her mother’s disappearance, and the family was willing to pay a ransom to get her back.

“We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her,” Savannah Guthrie said in a video she posted on Instagram. “This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us and we will pay.”

Savannah Guthrie says family ‘will pay’ for their mother’s return in video plea to possible kidnapper

by with No Comment Xpandfy

Savannah Guthrie has made a direct plea to her mother’s potential abductor: “We will pay.”

In a new, 20-second video posted on her Instagram account on Saturday, Guthrie said her family had received someone’s “message” and were begging for the return of her mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, who has been reported missing since Sunday.

“We received your message, and we understand,” Guthrie said, sitting between her two siblings in the video. “We beg you now to return our mother to us so that we can celebrate with her. This is the only way we will have peace. This is very valuable to us, and we will pay.”

Guthrie did not identify a specific individual. It’s also unclear what message Guthrie was referring to.

The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI said in a statement on Friday that they were aware of a new message regarding Nancy Guthrie.

“Investigators are actively inspecting the information provided in the message for its authenticity,” the sheriff’s department wrote.

A spokesperson for the Pima County Sheriff’s Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An FBI spokesperson said the agency did not have further information to provide.

There have been reports of multiple ransom notes. Federal officials arrested a California man on Thursday, accusing him of sending a fake ransom note to the Guthrie family.

Officials have not identified a suspect but have said that the incident may have involved a kidnapping or abduction.

Guthrie’s mother was last seen at her home located just outside Tucson.

Authorities said blood confirmed to belong to the elder Guthrie was found on the porch, and the doorbell camera had been disconnected, leaving investigators without crucial evidence.

Her daughter, a veteran news anchor of nearly three decades, said that her mother’s health is “fragile” and requires daily medication.

“We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” the younger Guthrie said in a video posted on Wednesday. “We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive, and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us.”

Savannah Guthrie’s brother pleads in new video for a ‘way to communicate’ with their mother’s possible captors

by with No Comment Xpandfy

Savannah Guthrie’s brother, Camron Guthrie, has released a new video on behalf of his family, addressing those who may have their mother.

In the new 21-second video uploaded to Savannah’s Instagram page on Thursday, Camron pleads for those responsible “to reach out.”

“This is Camron Guthrie. I’m speaking for the Guthrie family. Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward,” Camron said.

He then reiterated the family’s request for proof that their mother is in the captor’s custody.

“But first, we have to know that you have our mom. We want to talk to you, and we are waiting for contact,” Camron said.

Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday. She was last seen at her home in Tucson, Arizona. Officials told NBC Nightly News on Monday that they believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”

The video comes a day after Savannah, Camron, and their sister, Annie, issued a joint plea for their mother’s safe return.

“Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again,” Savannah said in Wednesday’s video. “We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mommy.”

In a statement uploaded to the sheriff department’s X account on Wednesday, Nanos said investigators “have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case,” and cautioned the public against “the sharing of unverified accusations or false information.”

On Thursday, the sheriff’s department released a timeline with new details, noting that Nancy Guthrie’s doorbell camera was disconnected and later detected a person, though no video was available. Sheriff Chris Nanos also confirmed that the blood found on the porch belonged to her.

How Savannah Guthrie’s mom has helped shape the ‘Today’ anchor’s career

by with No Comment Xpandfy

In a 2019 graduation speech at George Washington University, she said leaving law was “one of the biggest, craziest jumps” she ever made.

“It wasn’t a cliff; it was the federal courthouse here in Washington, DC,” she said.

Months before she was due to start as a law clerk for a federal judge, she had an epiphany.

“It wasn’t my dream,” she said. “What I really wanted was to go back to my roots in journalism. I still had that nagging hope that one day I could really make it in television news.”

Guthrie spoke with the judge. He asked why she didn’t come work for him for a year, since it would help her career, especially since she didn’t have a job lined up.

“And that’s when I looked at him and told him: ‘I know you’re right. What you say makes perfect sense,'” she said. “‘But I also know myself, and if I don’t do this, right this minute, I will never have the guts again.'”

From 2004 to 2006, she was Court TV’s legal-affairs correspondent.

She covered cases like the Zacarias Moussaoui trial, the Boston clergy sex-abuse scandal, and the Scooter Libby case.

Savannah Guthrie asks for proof of life in tearful video appeal for her mother’s return: ‘We are ready to talk’

by with No Comment Xpandfy

Savannah Guthrie shared a video message on Instagram on Wednesday pleading for her mother’s safe return.

Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday. She was last seen at her home outside Tucson, Arizona. Officials told NBC Nightly News on Monday that they believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”

Guthrie appeared in the video alongside her siblings, Annie and Camron, and read from a prepared statement — at one point, addressing the people who may have her mother.

“As a family, we are doing everything that we can. We are ready to talk. However, we live in a world where voices and images are easily manipulated,” Guthrie said.

“We need to know, without a doubt, that she is alive, and that you have her. We want to hear from you, and we are ready to listen. Please, reach out to us,” she said.

In the nearly four-minute-long video, Guthrie described her mother as a “kind, faithful, loyal, fiercely loving woman of goodness and light,” and a person who is “funny, spunky, and clever.”

“Our mom is our heart and our home. She is 84 years old. Her health, her heart is fragile. She lives in constant pain. She is without any medicine. She needs it to survive. She needs it not to suffer,” Guthrie added.

In the closing seconds of the video, Guthrie spoke directly to her mother.

“Everyone is looking for you, Mommy, everywhere. We will not rest. Your children will not rest until we are together again,” she said. “We speak to you every moment. And we pray without ceasing, and we rejoice in advance for the day that we hold you in our arms again. We love you, Mommy.”

Both of Guthrie’s siblings also spoke, with her sister Annie saying she and her siblings are “just normal human people who need our mom.”

“Mama, mama, if you’re listening, we need you to come home. We miss you,” she said.

Near the end of the video, Guthrie’s brother Camron addressed their mother, saying, “We love you, Mom. Stay strong.”

On Wednesday morning, the sheriff’s office told Business Insider that Nancy’s home was “equipped with several cameras,” and that detectives are trying to determine what footage is available.

The FBI is also involved in the investigation.

“The FBI is doing everything in our power to bring Nancy Guthrie home to her family,” Jon Edwards, assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s office in Tucson, said in a statement at a press conference on Tuesday.

‘Today’ show host Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy has gone missing. Here’s what we know.

by with No Comment Xpandfy

Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of beloved “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday, and authorities are investigating her disappearance as a crime.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said that based on the scene at her Tucson, Arizona, home, he believes Nancy was “taken from her home against her will” and is treating this as a “possible kidnapping or abduction” case.

“Just call us. Let her go. Just call us. The family will tell you, there’s no questions asked here,” Nanos told NBC News.

Here’s what to know.

Who is Nancy Guthrie?

Nancy Guthrie is the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie.

She has appeared on “Today” numerous times, including when Savannah called her on air in 2012 to wish her a happy 70th birthday. In 2022, for her 80th birthday, Savannah paid tribute to her mom on the show, calling her “a truth teller, whether you really want to hear the truth or not. She’s quick and she’s smart, she’s well-read, she’s curious about everything.”

Last November, Nancy was featured in a segment where Savannah took a tour of her hometown of Tucson.

Nancy was last seen at her home outside of Tucson, Arizona, on the evening of January 31 after her family dropped her off there. She lives alone but has house staff.

The next day, Sunday, February 1, a friend called the family concerned when Nancy wasn’t present for Sunday service at her church.

After an hour of searching the home and property, the family called 911. Authorities say her cell phone and car were left behind. She has limited mobility and requires daily medication that can be fatal if not received within 24 hours.

What do police think happened to her?

Authorities said they don’t know if Nancy Guthrie was targeted because of her famous daughter and are not aware of any threats to Savannah Guthrie.

Along with investigating what Nanos described as “hundreds of leads,” authorities have been searching for Nancy using drones, a helicopter, an airplane, search-and-rescue dogs, and volunteers. Nanos said on February 3 that possible DNA evidence had been found at the scene, though it could take several days to learn anything conclusive.

ABC News reported that investigators are focusing on Nancy’s electronic devices to see if there is data that could point to an assailant or a specific time when the abduction occurred.

What has Savannah Guthrie said?

Savannah Guthrie has been an anchor on NBC’s morning show “Today” since 2012.

Born in Australia, she and her family moved to Tucson when she was young. She joined NBC in 2007, and in her time there before “Today,” she was a White House correspondent and anchored “NBC Nightly News.”

Savannah has not appeared on “Today” since her mother’s disappearance.

On Tuesday, she posted an image on her Instagram that read “Please Pray” with the following caption:

we believe in prayer. we believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. we believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him.

thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment.

we need you.

“He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.” a verse of Isaiah for all time for all of us.

Bring her home.

Guthrie is part of NBC’s lineup to cover the upcoming Winter Olympics in Italy; it’s so far unclear if she will still attend.
