Savannah Guthrie returns April 6 as co-host of NBC’s “Today” show after a two-month absence following the disappearance of her 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, who authorities believe was kidnapped, prompting a $1 million reward for information.
Guthrie expressed her intention to find joy despite the ongoing agony, stating her return is part of her purpose. Nancy Guthrie was reported missing from her Arizona home on February 1, 2026, with the FBI releasing surveillance videos of a masked man.
The family offered a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery. Abductions are rare, representing only 1% of the over 530,000 missing person records entered in 2024, according to the National Crime Information Center.
Savannah Guthrie has donated to the Center for Missing and Exploited Children, which highlights other Arizona missing persons cases. Tips to the Pima County Sheriff's Office are declining, and the FBI no longer reveals daily tip numbers.
The family responded to two believed-real ransom notes, and Guthrie fears her celebrity status contributed to the abduction.
