The search for Nancy Guthrie, 84-year-old mother of Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has entered its third week since her disappearance from Tucson, Arizona, on February 1, 2026. Investigators believe she was abducted, but DNA from a glove found near her home hasn’t matched any records, frustrating a nationally watched case. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos warns the investigation could “go cold” if tips cease. The FBI released surveillance footage of a masked man near Nancy’s home and offers a $100,000 reward, pursuing over 13,000 leads without arrests so far.
Former President Donald Trump has become personally involved, directing “ALL Federal Law Enforcement” to assist and promising “very, very severe” consequences if Nancy is found deceased. He publicly confirmed support for the death penalty for her kidnappers, indicating the Justice Department would seek the harshest available punishment. While Arizona allows capital punishment, federal prosecution carries higher stakes. Savannah and her family, cleared as suspects, continue to make heartfelt appeals for information as the desperate search continues.
