5 February 2026 U.S. News

TUCSON, Ariz. — The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC “Today” host Savannah Guthrie, remains active and unresolved, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasizing that investigators are considering all possible leads. Speaking at a Thursday news conference, Sheriff Nanos stated unequivocally that there are currently no suspects or persons of interest identified in the case, underscoring the thoroughness of the ongoing inquiry.

Guthrie vanished from her Tucson home early Sunday morning, prompting a widespread law enforcement response that includes local authorities and federal agencies such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI has been advising the family and assisting with the investigation, which continues to explore every angle.

In response to swirling rumors and speculation online, including unfounded claims implicating family members, Sheriff Nanos clarified that investigators are actively interviewing everyone connected to the case. “We’re actively looking at everybody we come across in this case, everybody,” he said. “We would be irresponsible if we didn’t talk to everybody — the Uber driver, the gardener, the pool person, whoever. Everybody — it’s so cliché — but everybody’s still a suspect in our eyes. That’s just how we look at things.”

The Guthrie family, which includes Savannah Guthrie and her brother Camron living across the country, as well as Savannah’s daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni residing in Tucson, has been cooperating fully with authorities. Savannah Guthrie has made public pleas for information and communication with whoever may be holding her mother, reflecting the family’s growing distress.

Law enforcement officials have canvassed neighborhoods and analyzed digital evidence, including cybersecurity experts examining devices that might yield clues. The case has drawn national attention not only because of Nancy Guthrie’s connection to a prominent media figure but also due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Authorities have also offered a $50,000 reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s safe return, demonstrating the urgency and seriousness with which the case is being treated. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office continues to urge anyone with relevant information to come forward.

For ongoing updates, the public can refer to official channels such as the Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI. The case remains open and active, with law enforcement agencies committed to leaving no stone unturned in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
