    Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie’s Mom Missing: What We Know

    Text graphic with distressed texture reads: "Today Show’s Savannah Guthrie’s Mom Missing: What We Know" in bold white and red lettering.

    It’s been nearly a week since ‘Today’ show anchor Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother went missing from her Tucson, Arizona home. Due to police reports of blood being found at the scene (and other deciding factors), Nancy’s disappearance is believed to be an abduction. Authorities are offering $50,000 to anyone with information on this case.

    Proof of Life

    There was reportedly a ransom letter found at the scene of the crime and with the first deadline coming and going, Savannah and her siblings released a video begging for the safe return of their mother. At this point, they are looking for proof of life. With A.I., it could be easy for the kidnappers to fake imagery, so the family is hoping to prove that Nancy is alive and unharmed.

    During the video, Savannah’s brother Cameron had this to say to the ransomers:

    “We want to hear from you. We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out and we need a way to communicate with you so we can move forward. But first we have to know you have our mom.”

    False Tip

    While there have been reportedly over 200 anonymous tips flooding in, there has also been an imposter attempting to cash in the reward. A California man named Derrick Callella is now facing two federal charges for pretending to be the kidnapper and demanding a Bitcoin payment.

    Timeline

    A press conference was held on Thursday, February 5th, where Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos detailed what they found out in connection to Nancy’s disappearance from a doorbell camera. This timeline was provided by USA Today:

    • Jan. 31 at 5:32 p.m. Guthrie traveled to her family’s house for a game night.
    • Jan. 31 at 9:48 p.m. Her family dropped her back at home, and the garage door opened.
    • Jan. 31 at 9:50 p.m. The garage door closed.
    • Feb. 1 at 1:47 a.m. Doorbell camera in front of Guthrie’s home is disconnected.
    • Feb. 1 at 2:12 a.m. Software for the smart home detected a person on the camera, but no video is available.
    • Feb. 1 at 2:28 a.m. Guthrie’s pacemaker app shows it was disconnected from her phone.
    • Feb. 1 at 11:56 a.m. The family checks on her.
    • Feb. 1 at 12:03 p.m. Family calls 9-1-1 to report her missing.
    • Feb. 1 at 12:15 p.m. Patrol cars arrive.

    At this point, Savannah’s family is concerned that Nancy has been days without her medication.

    It should come as no surprise that there are plenty of internet sleuths who are already coming out with their own conspiracy theories, leaning into dissecting the mannerisms of the family in the plea video and the fact that many of the cameras around Nancy’s home were disabled. Either way, we will be continuing our coverage of this case and will update when more information comes out.
