Savannah Guthrie Back on 'Today' After Early Exit During Ongoing Search for Missing Mother

Investigators are relying on DNA testing and security footage with no arrests announced.

Overview

  • Savannah Guthrie, who left the broadcast mid-show Wednesday, returned to Today on Thursday without explaining the brief exit.
  • Detectives say the multi-agency probe is active, with DNA and video evidence under review at labs nationwide, including a reported hair sample sent to the FBI lab in Quantico in mid-April.
  • Authorities have named no suspect and made no arrests as they analyze doorbell footage of a masked person tampering with Nancy Guthrie’s camera and continue to process thousands of public tips.
  • Local reports describe stepped-up patrols near homes of some family members in Tucson, and Sheriff Chris Nanos has said the family is not under suspicion.
  • FBI Director Kash Patel said federal agents were initially kept out of the case, a claim the Pima County Sheriff’s Office disputes, as both agencies publicly stress continued cooperation.
