Guthrie Family Calls for Help in Finding Missing Loved One: Every Detail Matters as They Share Their Heartfelt Struggle

A new special on NBC-affiliated KVOA News 4 Tucson, titled Bring Her Home — The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, aired this evening, featuring an emotional statement from the Guthrie family. They urged community members to come forward with any information, no matter how insignificant it may seem.

Segments from KVOA’s special will also be featured in the Sunday editions of Today and NBC Nightly News.

The family’s statement, signed by Nancy’s daughter, Savannah Guthrie, along with her siblings, Camron and Annie, and their spouses, reads in part:

“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends, and the people of Tucson. We are all family now. We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case. Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant. We hope people search their memories, especially around the key timelines of January 31 and the early morning hours of February 1, as well as the late evening of January 11. We desperately ask this community for renewed attention to our mom’s case – please consult camera footage, journal notes, text messages, observations or conversations that in retrospect may hold significance. No detail is too small. It may be the key. We miss our mom with every breath and we cannot be in peace until she is home. We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder. Our focus is solely on finding her and bringing her home. We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life. But we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place of rest. Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.”

Nancy Guthrie, the mother of journalist Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on the night of January 31 when she was dropped off at her home by a relative. She was reported missing around noon the following day. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos later stated that authorities believe she was “taken from her house against her will,” as evidence including blood matching her DNA was found on the porch, and her security camera had been unplugged.

Investigators are also looking into suspected ransom notes that were sent to various media outlets. Both Savannah and her siblings have made multiple public appeals for their mother’s return. Nanos has confirmed that all family members have been cleared as potential suspects.

In a development, federal investigators collected DNA from a glove found near Nancy Guthrie’s property, believed to match that of an armed individual spotted on doorbell camera footage. The FBI is currently analyzing the evidence and comparing the DNA against profiles in a national database. The agency is offering a reward of $100,000, while the Guthrie family has announced a $1 million reward for information leading to her recovery.

Earlier this month, Savannah Guthrie made a visit to the Today studios for the first time since her mother went missing. Speaking to colleagues, she expressed her determination: “I wanted you to know that I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me. And I don’t know what version of me that will be, but it will be. I’m holding onto my faith. I still believe. And as my mom would say, ‘Where else would I go?’”
