Savannah Guthrie mom update as search intensifies for missing Nancy Guthrie

The search for Savannah Guthrie’s mother, 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, escalated in recent days as investigators treated the disappearance as a criminal case and the family issued repeated public pleas for information. Nancy was last seen on Friday, January 31, 2026, and was reported missing on Sunday, February 1, 2026, after she did not show up as expected the next day.

Authorities have said publicly that she is not believed to have left voluntarily, and the investigation has drawn federal involvement alongside local law enforcement. As of Tuesday, February 10, 2026, no publicly identified suspect has been named and Nancy has not been publicly located.

Savannah Guthrie mom update: what’s confirmed

Investigators have described the case as a suspected abduction rather than a walk-away missing-person situation. Public details released so far include that evidence at or near the home led detectives to treat the property as an active crime scene, while search activity expanded beyond the immediate neighborhood.

In recent appeals, Guthrie and her siblings urged anyone in the Tucson area who noticed unusual activity—especially around the end of January—to share tips with law enforcement. The family has emphasized urgency because Nancy is elderly and may need daily medical care.

The family’s latest public plea

Over the past few days, the family has posted emotional video statements aimed at keeping the case in the public eye and generating leads. In the most recent messages, they underscored two themes: hope that Nancy is still alive, and a request that the public report even small details that might seem insignificant.

The messaging has also been directed at anyone who might be holding Nancy, asking for her safe return. Authorities have not publicly confirmed any direct two-way communication that proves Nancy’s current condition.

Reward, tips, and investigative focus

A reward of up to $50,000 has been publicized for information that leads to Nancy’s recovery or to an arrest and prosecution connected to her disappearance. Investigators have encouraged the public to provide time-stamped details—such as sightings of unfamiliar vehicles, suspicious door-to-door activity, or anything unusual near the home around Friday, January 31, and Saturday, February 1.

While many details remain sealed to protect the investigation, recent coverage indicates law enforcement has been pursuing multiple leads and executing searches as information develops, including activity connected to family members’ residences.

Timeline and key details so far

Key takeaways

• Last confirmed sighting: Friday, January 31, 2026 (Tucson area), after being dropped off at home.

• Missing person report: Sunday, February 1, 2026, after she failed to appear as expected the next day.

• Ransom-related claims: A purported ransom deadline referenced Monday, February 9, 2026, at about 7:00 p.m. ET; authorities have said key aspects remain unverified publicly.

The passing of any stated “deadline” has not ended the search. Investigators have continued to stress that tips remain valuable, particularly those tied to specific locations, exact times, and identifiable descriptions.

What to watch next

The next meaningful developments are likely to come from official investigative updates: additional search activity, any publicly released suspect description, or confirmation of evidence that clarifies Nancy’s movements after January 31. Families in cases like this often see progress when a new lead triggers targeted searches or when someone recognizes a vehicle or pattern and reports it promptly.

If investigators announce new tip lines, expanded reward terms, or release images tied to the case, those details could rapidly reshape the public’s ability to help. For now, the core request from both family and investigators remains consistent: report anything concrete connected to the Tucson area around the end of January and first days of February.
