The family wore matching holiday pajamas: plaid pants and black long-sleeve shirts with a gold Christmas tree. Nancy’s caption read, “Merry Christmas sweet ones.”
Where and when Nancy Guthrie was last seen
Pima County authorities say Nancy was last seen late Saturday evening around 9:30 p.m. at her Catalina Foothills residence. A relative called 911 the following day after becoming alarmed.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Office responded and searched the property. What began as a missing-person inquiry has shifted into a criminal investigation.
Official statements from investigators
Sheriff Chris Nanos told reporters that evidence collected at the scene led detectives to treat the case as a crime. He emphasized that the scene appeared suspicious.
“We believe now … that we do, in fact, have a crime scene,” the sheriff said, urging the public to help with information.
Why authorities say Nancy likely didn’t leave by choice
- Physical and mental sharpness: Investigators noted Nancy is mentally sharp and not the type to wander away.
- Mobility limits: Her age and physical condition make sudden disappearance unlikely.
- Medical needs: Officials warned she requires daily medication, increasing concern for her welfare.
Impact on Savannah Guthrie and professional plans
The “Today” co-anchor has paused high-profile duties amid the family emergency. Sources say Savannah is likely stepping back from hosting NBC’s planned opening-night coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics.
She had been scheduled to travel to Italy for the Games. Close colleagues and friends expect her to remain with family while investigators work the case.
Family ties and public reaction
Savannah has publicly shared her deep bond with her mother in past tributes. In 2020 she described Nancy as her “heart” and a model of motherhood.
The missing-person report prompted social media messages of concern. Neighbors and community members have been asked to check surveillance and report any relevant details.
What authorities are requesting from the public
- Anyone with information about Nancy’s movements after 9:30 p.m. on the date she was last seen should contact Pima County Sheriff’s Office.
