The mother of Savannah Guthrie, co-anchor of NBC’s “TODAY” show, has been reported missing in Arizona, officials confirmed Sunday. Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen Saturday night at her home outside Tucson, and her family reported her missing around noon on Sunday, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.

Sheriff Nanos said certain aspects of the home scene raised “grave concern,” though he did not provide details. Homicide detectives were called to the scene, a step not typically part of a missing persons investigation, and authorities have not ruled out foul play. Nancy Guthrie is described as 5 feet, 5 inches tall, weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair and blue eyes. She was last seen by her family between 9:30 p.m. and 9:45 p.m. Saturday. Officials noted she is not in good physical health, though her family reported no cognitive issues. Search efforts include drones, an airplane, a helicopter, volunteers, and search-and-rescue dogs provided by Customs and Border Protection. The Guthrie family confirmed the case and said they are working closely with local law enforcement, asking anyone with information to come forward. Savannah Guthrie has often spoken about her close bond with her mother, praising her selflessness and support in past tributes.
