Savannah Guthrie Asks the Nation for Help in Search for Missing Mother
On 23 June 2026, the long‑time anchor of NBC’s Today show took the camera to deliver a personal plea to viewers, urging anyone with information to come forward about her mother Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since January.
In her remarks, Guthrie referenced a ‘note’ that had been circulated to the media two months earlier, which claimed Nancy had died. The note, however, remains unverified and has intensified worries that the mother’s vanishing could be tied to an ongoing kidnapping investigation.
“Somebody knows something,” Guthrie said, adding that her family is "in agony." She stressed that she is looking for any factual updates that could clarify her mother’s whereabouts.
Her appeal reflects the unresolved nature of child and adult kidnappings in the U.S., where families often face prolonged uncertainty while authorities hunt for missing persons. The case continues to attract attention from both media and law‑enforcement channels, who are hoping for a breakthrough that will bring closure to the Guthrie family.
