Savannah Guthrie’s First On-Camera Plea Refocuses Search for Her Missing Mother

The public appeal could spur fresh tips in an active Pima CountyFBI abduction probe with no named suspect.

Overview

  • The Today preview, which aired Wednesday, showed Guthrie’s first TV interview on the case as she urged anyone with information to “do the right thing,” with full segments set for Thursday and Friday.
  • Authorities say 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie was taken from her Tucson-area home in the early hours of February 1, and the investigation remains focused on abduction.
  • Investigators released doorbell video of a masked, apparently armed person at her door, confirmed drops of her blood at the scene, and are analyzing unresolved DNA as pacemaker data showed transmissions stopped during the suspected window.
  • A combined reward of about $1.1 million is available for tips, and the family and FBI continue to press residents to recheck surveillance, notes, texts, and conversations from late January through February 2.
  • News outlets report no identified suspect despite a surge in tips, and accounts differ on the FBI’s reward amount, with some citing $50,000 and others $100,000.
