Savannah Guthrie Returns to Mother's Tucson Home Amid Ongoing Missing Person Investigation

“Today” show host Savannah Guthrie made her first visit to her mother’s Tucson-area home Monday since Nancy Guthrie disappeared a month ago, according to video captured by news outlets.
The NBC anchor, her sister Annie Guthrie, and brother-in-law Tommaso Cioni walked arm-in-arm down the driveway before placing yellow flowers at a makeshift memorial and embracing in what video showed was an emotional scene.
The tribute at the property’s edge includes flowers, yellow ribbons, crosses, prayers, a sign reading “Let Nancy Come Home,” and an angel statuette, according to the news footage.
Savannah Guthrie later posted a photo of flowers at the memorial on social media. “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country,” she wrote, adding “please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home.”
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her home on January 31 and reported missing the following day, according to authorities. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department believes she was kidnapped, abducted, or otherwise taken against her will.
Investigators found drops of Nancy Guthrie’s blood on the front porch, according to law enforcement. The FBI released surveillance footage on February 10 showing a masked man at Guthrie’s doorstep the night she disappeared, though authorities have released little other evidence publicly.
The family has offered a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery, according to Savannah Guthrie’s recent social media announcement. The “Today” show host and her siblings have appeared in multiple videos pleading for their mother’s return.
Recent developments in the investigation include Ring camera footage from approximately 2.5 miles from the Guthrie home that captured 12 vehicles passing around the time of the disappearance, according to reports last week. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department declined to say whether any of the vehicles were connected to the case.
Investigators are reviewing hundreds of hours of surveillance footage, according to the sheriff’s department. The agency has turned Nancy Guthrie’s home back over to her family, and “No Trespassing” signs now mark the property.
The case has drawn national attention due to Savannah Guthrie’s prominence as co-anchor of NBC’s flagship morning program. The veteran journalist has balanced her professional duties while advocating for her mother’s safe return through social media campaigns and public appeals.
The Tucson community has rallied around the family during the month-long search, creating the memorial display that greeted the family Monday. Local law enforcement continues working with federal authorities on the investigation.
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance represents one of the most high-profile missing person cases in recent Arizona history, with the combination of physical evidence at the scene and surveillance footage suggesting a targeted crime rather than a random incident.
The family’s return to the property Monday marked their first public appearance at the home since launching their nationwide appeal for information. The emotional visit underscored the ongoing uncertainty surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s fate as the investigation enters its second month.
