On February 1, 2026, Nancy Guthrie, an 84‑year‑old resident of the Catalina Foothills area north of Tucson, Arizona, was reported missing after failing to arrive at church as expected. According to the Pima County Sheriff's Department, Guthrie was last seen at her home on the evening of January 31 at approximately 9:50 p.m. Evidence found inside the residence indicated foul play and a likely abduction, prompting the Sheriff's Department to open a criminal investigation.
The case quickly expanded beyond local law enforcement. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, U. S. Customs and Border Protection, homicide investigators, and search‑and‑rescue teams were brought in to assist. Authorities stated that Guthrie has no known cognitive impairments but does have mobility limitations and requires daily medication essential to her survival.
Guthrie is the mother of Savannah Guthrie, a television journalist and co‑anchor of NBC's Today. Following the disappearance, Savannah stepped away from her NBC duties, including co‑hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremonies, to participate in the search efforts.
