The disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC's Today show anchor Savannah Guthrie, has captured national attention as authorities investigate the case as a potential kidnapping. According to Geo Entertainment, Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her home in Arizona on January 31, 2026, and was reported missing over the weekend. The New York Times reported that the investigation is being treated as an abduction, with Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos stating, 'We are taking all tips and leads very seriously.' The case took a dramatic turn when The News Pakistan revealed that authorities are investigating a ransom note demanding payment for Nancy's release, although NBC News noted that no law enforcement agency has yet substantiated these reports.
