Nancy Guthrie, 84, the mother of “Today” show host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since Sunday, and authorities are investigating her disappearance.
The older Guthrie lived alone in her home in Tucson, Arizona. In a missing person report shared on X by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, she is a 5-foot-5-inch-tall woman with brown hair and blue eyes.
Chris Nanos, the sheriff of Pima County, told NBC Nightly News on Monday that officials believe she was “taken out of her home against her will.”
Nanos said Guthrie had limited mobility and could not walk “50 yards” on her own.
He added that Guthrie’s family had told him that the elderly woman was on “vital” medications, and it could be fatal if she did not take them every 24 hours. Her family reported her missing around noon on Sunday.
The Sheriff’s office said in an X update on Tuesday evening that it was investigating reports of a ransom note for Guthrie.
Authorities have since been searching for Nancy using drones, a helicopter, an airplane, search-and-rescue dogs, and volunteers. Nanos also said that they have been investigating “hundreds of leads.”
Guthrie has appeared on “Today” several times, including when Savannah Guthrie called her on air in 2012 to wish her a happy 70th birthday. In November, Guthrie was featured in a segment in which her daughter toured her hometown of Tucson.
Savannah Guthrie has not appeared on “Today” since her mother’s disappearance.
The host was set to be part of NBC’s Winter Olympics coverage in Italy this month, but an NBC spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter that she will no longer be attending.
