Savannah Guthrie and her family issued a new statement to the people of Tucson, Arizona, amid their matriarch Nancy Guthrie’s continued disappearance, explaining that they are unable to “grieve” until she is brought home.
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends and the people of Tucson. We are all family now,” the family said a KVOA-TV News special on Saturday, March 21. “We continue to believe it’s Tucsonians, and the greater Southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something.”
The Guthries suggested that someone within the community may have “information that they do not even realize is significant.” They asked the community to “search their memories” for any details that stand out.
Savannah Guthrie and her family paid an emotional visit to the memorial outside mom Nancy Guthrie’s home one month after her disappearance. “Savannah Guthrie, her sister, Annie, and her brother-in-law, Tommaso [Cioni], visit the memorial outside Nancy’s house just now,” Brian Entin, a senior national correspondent for NewsNation, wrote via X on Monday, March 2, […]
“We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance,” their statement continued. “No detail is too small. It may be the key.”
The Guthries said that they “miss [their] mom with every breath” and won’t be able to find “peace” until “she is home.”
“We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder,” they said. “Our focus is solely on finding her and bringing her home. We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life but we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place of rest.”
Their statement concluded: “Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.”
Nancy was first reported missing on February 1, 2026, when she failed to meet up with friends to observe a virtual church service. Shortly after her disappearance, authorities ruled it a kidnapping.
Since then, Guthrie and her siblings, Camron Guthrie, 61, and Annie Guthrie, 56, have remained in their mother’s hometown as the investigation continues. The siblings appeared in multiple videos shared via Instagram, begging for their mother’s safe return or any information that could lead to her alleged kidnappers.
“Coming on to say it is day 24 since our mom was taken in the dark of night from her bed, and every hour and minute and second and every long night has been agony since then, of worrying about her and fearing for her, aching for her, and most of all, just missing her, missing her,” Guthrie said in an Instagram video shared on February 25, adding that her family increased the reward for any information regarding their mother’s kidnapping to $1 million.
“We know that millions of you have been praying. So many people have been praying of every faith and no faith at all, praying for her return, and we feel those prayers. Please keep praying without ceasing,” she added. “We still believe. We still believe in a miracle”
In the caption, Savannah revealed that $1 million would be paid “only for the recovery” of Nancy, 84. She encouraged those who know something that could aid the case to contact the FBI, noting that callers “can remain anonymous” or “find a way to reach out to me.”
On March 5, Savannah made an emotional return to the set of the Today show – her first since her mother went missing.
Savannah Guthrie and her family left an emotional note while visiting the memorial for their mother, Nancy Guthrie, amid her alleged kidnapping. “Momma, we miss you so much! Our hearts are broken,” the note read, per NewsNation. “We are standing on ash, on scored earth! But Mom, though we are surrounded by so much darkness […]
While there, Savannah thanked the Today team for their love and support and for “caring about my mom as much as I do.” She also revealed that she plans to return to the morning show. “I have every intention of coming back,” she said. “I don’t know how to come back, but I don’t know how not to. You’re my family. And I would like to try.”
Earlier this month, Savannah and her family were seen stopping by a memorial set up outside of Nancy’s home. In the video, Savannah’s sister, Annie, could be heard crying as she locked arms with her husband, Tommaso Cioni, and the NBC host. The group carried a handful of sunflowers, which they placed in front of a sign that read, “Dear Guthrie family, your neighbors stand with you.”
