Savannah Guthrie Mentions Mother’s Irish Roots as Viral Tablet Claim Is Denied

Her rare on-air remark highlights the family's anguish after months without answers as investigators say a circulating pink‑tablet lead is unverified and not part of the probe.

Overview

  • Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Catalina Foothills home in the overnight hours around Feb. 1, 2026, and the case remains open with no publicly named suspects.
  • Investigators recovered forensic evidence at the house including blood that matched Nancy Guthrie’s DNA and surveillance showing a masked, armed person on the porch during the disappearance.
  • The Guthrie family has offered a $1 million reward and the FBI added funds for a combined total near $1.1 million as authorities continue to process tips and run DNA testing.
  • On Sept. 10, Savannah Guthrie made a rare on‑air reference to her mother’s Irish family roots in Galway as Today announced live shows in Ireland, a moment that underscored the family’s ongoing public appeals for information.
  • A viral claim that a woman bought a pink tablet linked to Nancy’s property has circulated online but the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has said the story is unverified and there has been no official mention of a stolen tablet in the investigation.
