On February 24, 2026, NBC Today show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie announced that her family is offering a $1 million reward for information leading to the recovery of her missing 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie.Â
Nancy Guthrie was last seen on the evening of January 31, 2026, after being dropped off at her home in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson, Arizona.
She was reported missing the next day when she failed to attend a virtual church service.Authorities believe she was taken against her will in the middle of the night on February 1.
Doorbell camera footage recovered by the FBI shows a masked, armed individual tampering with the device at her home around 1:47 a.m..
Nancy is considered a vulnerable adult; she has a pacemaker, difficulty walking, and requires daily medication for a heart condition.
The new $1 million family reward is separate from the FBI’s $100,000 reward, bringing the total possible payout to roughly $1.2 million when combined with other local tip-line offers.Â
In a tearful Instagram video, Savannah Guthrie stated the family “still believes in a miracle” but acknowledged the possibility that her mother may have already passed away.
Along with the reward, the Guthrie family is donating $500,000 to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to support other families facing similar tragedies.
Several “sophisticated” ransom letters demanding cryptocurrency have been sent to media outlets, though their authenticity remains under investigation.
