Nancy was reported missing from her home in Catalina Foothills, an affluent community near the Santa Catalina Mountains outside Tucson. Since she was last seen on January 31, 2026, local authorities and community members have been tirelessly searching for her, while Savannah\u2019s absence from 30 Rockefeller Plaza has highlighted the urgency of the situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities began the search after family members could not reach Nancy. The Pima County Sheriff\u2019s Department deployed deputies, volunteer search-and-rescue teams, scent-tracking dogs, and thermal imaging drones. The Catalina Foothills present unique challenges, including deep arroyos, dense desert vegetation, and steep rocky slopes, making navigation especially difficult for an elderly person. Sheriff Chris Nanos stressed the critical nature of time given Nancy\u2019s age and health considerations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Savannah Guthrie\u2019s absence from the \u201cToday Show\u201d made an immediate impact. She traveled to Arizona to support her family and coordinate the search. On-air, co-anchor Craig Melvin informed viewers of the situation and requested prayers and support for the Guthrie family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Savannah later released a heartfelt statement through her representatives, thanking colleagues, friends, and viewers for their outpouring of support. She emphasized that her family\u2019s priority is her mother\u2019s safe return and praised the tireless work of law enforcement and volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Investigators have canvassed neighbors, reviewed security footage, and issued a <strong>Silver Alert<\/strong> for Nancy, aimed at missing seniors with potential health risks. The challenging \u201csky island\u201d terrain of the Catalina Foothills adds complexity, with cold desert nights posing a danger to anyone outdoors. Specialized mountain rescue units are searching the steepest areas near Coronado National Forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Across social media and nationwide, the public has rallied behind the #FindNancy campaign, sharing her photo and contact information for tips. The Guthrie family, while grateful for support, has requested privacy to allow law enforcement to work effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the search continues, authorities note that the first 48\u201372 hours are critical in cases involving elderly individuals. They remain hopeful, emphasizing Nancy\u2019s resilience and the extensive resources dedicated to locating her. The public is urged to report any sightings, no matter how small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As night falls over the Arizona desert, search teams continue their work, a testament to community dedication and a family\u2019s hope for a safe reunion between mother and daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of \u201cToday Show\u201d co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, has intensified in the rugged terrain of Arizona, raising nationwide concern and mobilizing&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-624","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=624"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":626,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/624\/revisions\/626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=624"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=624"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/newstoday365.today\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=624"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
