Savannah Guthrie visits the Today show at Rockefeller Plaza in New York on Thursday, March 5, 2026. Nancy Guthrie went missing in the early morning hours of February 1 and nearly 8 weeks later, there appear to be next to no leads andto name a suspect.
The Guthrie family has continued pleading for their mother's return, even offering a $1 million reward for information on her whereabouts. Guthie told Kotb of the "agony" her family is experiencing, calling it unbearable and describing how she wakes up each night imagining her mother's terror. “I wake up every night in the middle of the night, every night,” Guthrie said in the first interview since her mother was taken. “And in the darkness, I imagine her terror. And it is unthinkable, but those thoughts demand to be thought. And I will not hide my face. But she needs to come home now.”aired on the "Today Show," and we're breaking down three new pieces of information from Savannah Guthrie about Nancy's disappearance.she has experienced over her mother's disappearance and discussed the possibility that her mother may have been targeted because of her "Today Show" fame. "I don’t know that it’s because she’s my mom and somebody thought, 'Oh, that girl, that lady has money. We can make a quick buck.' I mean, that would make sense. But we don’t know, which is too much to bear, to think that I brought this to her bedside. That it’s because of me," Guthrie told Kotb.Guthrie said her brother told her on the phone, "I think she's been kidnapped for ransom," and she asked why. "It sounds so, like, how dumb could I be? But I just, I didn’t wanna believe. I just said, 'Do you think because of me?' And he said, 'I’m sorry, sweetie, but yeah, maybe,'" Guthrie told Kotb. In a message to her mother, Guthrie said, "If it is me, I’m so sorry. I’m so sorry," also apologizing to her family.In her interview with Kotb, Guthrie said she believes the majority of ransom notes the family received were fakes, but that two appeared to be genuine. She said there were a lot of different notes that came and she didn't see them all. One of the notes sent to TMZ requested millions in bitcoin, while other local media outlets received similar notes. "I believe the two notes that we received that we responded to, I tend to believe those are real," Guthrie said. "But, you know, a person that would send a fake ransom note really has to look deeply at themselves to a family in pain." Guthrie and her siblings released multiple videos on social media after receiving the demands, with the videos saying the family was ready to talk and demanding proof that their mother was still alive."How is it possible that we are having to make a video? Speaking to a kidnapper who took an 84-year-old woman. In the dead of night, in her pajamas with no shoes, without her medicine, this little person. And to beg for mercy," Guthrie said. She also told Kotb she was terrified by the images released of a masked man on her mother's front porch the night she disappeared.In another revelation, Guthrie told Kotb during the interview that her mother's door was propped open. Guthrie said the day Nancy went missing, her sister called her, explaining that first responders had arrived and that they thought their mother must have had a medical episode. She also said her mother's phone and purse were still at the home. "I was in a panic. I’m, like, call 911. She’s like, I did. We’ve called them. They’re here. We thought that she must have had, like, some kind of medical episode in the night and that somehow, you know, the paramedics had come, because the back doors were propped open, you know, and that didn’t make any sense," Guthrie said. In the hours after Nancy's disappearance was reported, Guthrie recalls arriving to the scene in Tucson, and discussing all of the possibilites of what could have happened. "From the very early moments, you know, Annie and Tommy were saying, this isn’t that case that you are used to where someone wanders off. She can’t wander off. My mom, she was in tremendous pain. Her back was very bad. You know, she was trying to, on a good day, she could walk down to the mailbox and get the mail, but most days not, so there was no wander off," Guthrie told Kotb.Guthrie explained that the doors being propped open, blood on the front steps and the doorbell camera being ripped off as reasons why the family knew something was wrong.Two people were killed on Wednesday after a semi-truck collided with a Corvette near Erda in Tooele County.The crash was first reported just after 10 a.m. on MA first-grader was leaving an elementary school in Herriman to go to daycare when he was assaulted by another student with a small wooden baseball bat.Now, hisClose to a dozen Utah cities impose "transportation utility fees," which are collected in addition to taxes.
