The desperate search continues for Savannah Guthrie’s mom, Nancy Guthrie, after she disappeared from her Tucson-area home.
The “Today” show co-host has been absent from the NBC program as the search continues for her mom.
Here is the complete timeline of Nancy’s mysterious disappearance as the investigation continues to unfold.
The last sighting
The last known sighting of Nancy was on Saturday, Jan. 31 at around 9:30 p.m.
At the time, she was dropped off at her Catalina Foothills home after having dinner with family members.
Initially, authorities said that Annie Guthrie, Savannah’s sister, was allegedly the last person to see their mother before she went missing.
However, authorities told The Post that Annie’s husband, Tommaso Cioni, was the last person who saw Nancy alive when he drove her back to her home at around 9:45 p.m. after having dinner with him and his wife.
Missing in action
Nancy’s friends reported that she was missing after she failed to show up to church at around 11 a.m. on Sunday, Feb 1.
Search and rescue teams were deployed to look for Nancy by ground and air.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed in a press conference that homicide detectives were investigating the home and they were “not ruling out foul play.” The FBI is also on the case.
Support for Savannah
Savannah skipped her appearance on the “Today” show on the morning of Feb. 1.
In her absence, her co-hosts read a statement from the journalist’s family to give an update to their viewers.
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers, and messages of support,” the Guthries said in a statement. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear mom.
“We thank law enforcement for their hard work on this case and encourage anyone with information to contact the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.”
Sources exclusively told Page Six that Savannah was set to drop out of hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony for NBC — which the network confirmed the next day.
Scene of the crime
On Monday, Feb. 2, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department confirmed that Nancy’s home was being treated as a crime scene.
“We believe now, after we process that crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime scene, that we do, in fact, have a crime and we’re asking the community’s help,” Nanos revealed in a press conference.
“[Nancy] did not leave on her own,” he pointed out, explaining that they believe the “circumstances on scene […] are suspicious in nature.”
Without sharing many details, Nanos said they believe Nancy “did not leave on her own” as the “circumstances on scene […] are suspicious in nature.”
She was believed to be “taken from the home against her will,” possibly while she was sleeping.
Law enforcement sources allegedly found blood outside of Nancy’s home. An apparent trail of blood was seen in photos of Nancy’s home.
Family update
Savannah took to Instagram to ask her social media followers to “please pray” for her mom on Feb. 2.
“We believe in prayer. we believe in voices raised in unison, in love, in hope. we believe in goodness. we believe in humanity. above all, we believe in Him,” she wrote.
“Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant,” she continued. “raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment.”
Savannah wrote that her family needed their help.
“’He will keep in perfect peace those whose hearts are steadfast, trusting in the Lord.’ a verse of Isaiah for all time for all of us,” she added, concluding, “Bring her home.”
The next day, Savannah’s husband broke his silence in an exclusive statement to Page Six.
Michael Feldman told us that he didn’t “have anything new to report.”
Evidence confirmed
On Feb. 3, the Public Information Office confirmed to Page Six that “DNA evidence located at the scene has been collected and sent for testing.”
However, they said “nothing has been identified that would point to a person of interest at this time.”
Authorities confirmed they were reviewing several security cameras that had been installed in Nancy’s home.
“Detectives are working with the family and the respective companies to determine the number of cameras and whether any footage is available,” the PIO said.
Ransom demand
Police confirmed that they weren’t ruling out a ransom note in a press conference on Feb. 3.
Later in the day, TMZ reported that they received an alleged note demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin be paid in exchange for Nancy’s release.
The alleged issuer reportedly asked that the cryptocurrency be sent to a specific Bitcoin address, “or else.” The outlet confirmed the Bitcoin address “is real.”
The note allegedly mentioned an item of clothing Nancy was wearing as well as an item that was damaged in her house when she went missing.
Police subsequently addressed reports concerning a “possible ransom note.”
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department released a statement saying they are “aware of reports circulating about a possible ransom note(s) regarding the investigation into Nancy Guthrie.”
“We are taking all tips and leads very seriously,” the statement continued. “Anything that comes in, goes directly to our detectives who are coordinating with the FBI.”

“Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie,” the statement said.
