The nation remains gripped by the mysterious abduction of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC’s “Today” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, from her home in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson, Arizona. Reported missing on February 1, 2026, after last being seen the evening before, Nancy was believed to have been taken against her will in the early morning hours, with evidence including blood on the front porch and chilling doorbell camera footage showing a masked man tampering with the device.

Marking two full weeks since the disappearance, Savannah Guthrie released an emotional video message on social media, speaking directly to anyone holding her mother or knowing her whereabouts. “It’s been two weeks since our mom was taken,” she said, her voice steady yet filled with pain. “I just wanted to come on and say that we still have hope, and we still believe. To whoever has her, or knows where she is, it’s never too late, and you’re not lost or alone. It is never too late to do the right thing. We are here. We believe. And we believe in the essential goodness of every human being. It’s never too late.”

The plea underscores the family’s unwavering hope amid an intense investigation led by the FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office. Authorities describe the case as a suspected kidnapping, possibly stemming from an intended burglary that escalated. A suspect—described as a man 5’9″ to 5’10” tall, average build, wearing a black Ozark Trail Hiker Pack backpack—was captured on video outside the home. Recent breakthroughs include a glove recovered from a field about two miles away, appearing to match those in the footage, with DNA being analyzed that does not belong to Nancy or her immediate circle.

Concern grows for Nancy’s health; she relies on daily vital medications, has a pacemaker, and has managed high blood pressure and heart issues. The massive search has involved helicopters, sniffer dogs, hundreds of officers, and over 13,000 public tips. A reward has doubled to $100,000 for information leading to her safe return or the arrest of those responsible.

Savannah’s siblings and extended family have joined in appeals, emphasizing Nancy’s role as a loving grandmother and community member. The tight-knit family, including her daughter Annie and son-in-law who had hosted her for dinner the night before the abduction, continues to endure the agony of uncertainty.

As the investigation enters its third week, the emotional toll is evident. Savannah’s message serves as a powerful reminder of hope and humanity, urging compassion even from those involved. The public outpouring of support continues, with prayers and calls for Nancy’s safe return echoing nationwide. In a case that has captivated true-crime followers and everyday viewers alike, every day without resolution heightens the urgency for answers and a reunion.
