As the search for Nancy Guthrie entered its 100th day on Monday, May 11, her daughter used Mother’s Day to issue a desperate appeal for help in finding the 84-year-old who vanished from her Arizona home in late January with no suspects identified and no arrests made despite a $1.2 million reward.
Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of the “Today” show, posted an emotional Instagram Reel on Sunday, May 10, 2026, that combined family photographs and 44 seconds of home video footage showing her mother — whom family members called “Nonie” — laughing with grandchildren, taking selfies and telling the camera, “Miss you.” The montage also featured images from Nancy Guthrie’s younger years.
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie — we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you. We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference,” Guthrie wrote in the caption.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen when a family member dropped her off at her Catalina Foothills residence outside of Tucson, Arizona, at around 9:45 p.m. on January 31, 2026, following dinner. When she didn’t arrive at a neighbor’s house around noon the next day to watch an online church service, she was reported missing.
A Trail Of Chilling Evidence
Investigators have pieced together a disturbing sequence of events from the night Nancy Guthrie disappeared. Her doorbell camera was disconnected in the early morning hours of February 1, and her pacemaker app subsequently showed that her device had disconnected from her phone. Blood belonging to her was later found on the front porch — evidence one retired FBI agent described as a possible “last stand.”
On February 10, the FBI released images and video obtained from the doorbell camera showing a masked and armed individual outside the home the night Nancy Guthrie vanished. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office said it was unable to find a DNA match for gloves recovered near the residence. Mixed DNA found at the home, including a hair sample, is still being analyzed by the FBI, according to recent reporting. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which is leading the investigation with the FBI’s assistance, said this month that the case “remains active and ongoing.”
Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was removed from her home against her will, though investigators still have no leading theory about a motive. On March 6, the Pima County sheriff said officials have not ruled out the possibility that more than one person was involved.
An Anonymous Plea at the Memorial
A makeshift memorial outside Nancy Guthrie’s home has grown as the case stretches past three months without a break, and the community has rallied around the family. Over the weekend, an anonymous letter was placed there, addressed directly to the abductor.
The letter urged the perpetrator to do the right thing before Mother’s Day, invoking the abductor’s own mother and pleading for Nancy Guthrie’s return so the family could celebrate the holiday together.
The Guthrie family is offering $1 million, while local crime stoppers and the FBI have each posted rewards of more than $100,000, bringing the combined reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery to $1.2 million.
Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Mike Feldman, whom she married in 2014, also posted a public Mother’s Day tribute to his wife on Instagram, writing, “To the strongest person I know. Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day.” The couple shares two children, Vale and Charles.
Moving Forward With a Broken Heart
Savannah Guthrie announced on Monday on the “Today” show with Jimmy Fallon that she will host a new NBC primetime game show based on Wordle, the popular word game published by The New York Times. Fallon is serving as executive producer, and filming will take place in Manchester, England, this summer, with the show set to air next year.
Savannah used the announcement to thank Fallon and the network for waiting, as production had been delayed following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance. She told reporters that she had shown her mother the pilot back in December 2025, before she vanished.
“Everything is strange right now. It’s strange to get up and do the Today show every day, and it’s strange to say that I’m going to do a game show when your heart is broken,” Guthrie said. She added that she was determined to “put one foot in front of the other.”
