A masked and armed figure captured on doorbell video. Blood on a front porch. A disconnected pacemaker. And 100 days of anguish for a family desperate for answers.
As Mother’s Day 2026 arrived on Sunday, May 10, Savannah Guthrie shared a 44-second Instagram Reel filled with home videos and family photos of her missing mother, Nancy Guthrie, 84, who vanished from her Tucson-area home more than three months ago. The montage showed the woman the family calls “Nonie” snapping selfies, sharing moments with her grandchildren and at one point looking into the camera and saying, “Miss you.”
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie — we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you. We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference,” the “Today” show co-anchor wrote in her caption.
Monday, May 11, marks exactly 100 days since Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her residence in the Catalina Foothills outside of Tucson after a family member dropped her off following dinner at approximately 9:45 p.m. on January 31, 2026. Despite a $1.2 million reward — including a $1 million contribution from the Guthrie family and more than $100,000 each from local crime stoppers and the FBI — no suspects have been identified and no arrests have been made.
A Trail of Chilling Evidence
When Nancy Guthrie failed to appear at a neighbor’s house around noon on February 1 to watch an online church service, she was reported missing.
What investigators uncovered paints a disturbing picture. Her doorbell camera was disconnected in the early morning hours of February 1. Her pacemaker app showed her device had disconnected from her phone shortly afterward. Blood belonging to Nancy Guthrie was later found on the front porch — what a retired FBI agent called a possible “last stand.”
The FBI released images and video on February 10 obtained from the doorbell camera showing a masked and armed individual outside the home the night she vanished. Gloves recovered near the residence yielded no DNA match, the Pima County Sheriff’s Office said. Mixed DNA found at the home, including a hair sample, is still being analyzed by the FBI, according to reports.
Authorities believe Nancy Guthrie was taken from her home against her will, but investigators have no leading theory about a motive. The Pima County sheriff said on March 6 that officials have not ruled out the possibility that more than one person was involved. The Pima County Sheriff’s Department, which is leading the investigation with FBI assistance, said this month that the case “remains active and ongoing.”
An Anonymous Plea at the Memorial
A makeshift memorial has grown outside Nancy Guthrie’s home as the community has rallied around the family. Over the weekend, an anonymous letter was left at the memorial, addressed to the abductor and urging the perpetrator to do the right thing before Mother’s Day. The letter invoked the abductor’s own mother and pleaded for Nancy Guthrie’s return so the family could celebrate the holiday together.
Savannah Guthrie’s husband, Mike Feldman, whom she married in 2014, posted his own Mother’s Day tribute on Instagram, writing, “To the strongest person I know. Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day.” The couple shares two children, Vale and Charles.
Moving Forward With a Broken Heart
On Monday, Savannah Guthrie announced on the “Today” show with Jimmy Fallon that she will host a new NBC primetime game show based on Wordle, the popular word game published by The New York Times. Fallon is serving as executive producer, and filming will take place in Manchester, England, this summer, with the show set to air next year. She told reporters that she had shown her mother the pilot back in December 2025, before she vanished.
Savannah used the announcement to thank Fallon and the network for waiting, as production had been delayed following Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.
“Everything is strange right now. It’s strange to get up and do the Today show every day, and it’s strange to say that I’m going to do a game show when your heart is broken,” Guthrie said. She added that she was determined to “put one foot in front of the other.”
