TUCSON, AZ - Federal and local investigators continue an intensive search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie, who has now been missing for five days. During a press conference held on Thursday, February 5, 2026, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that forensic testing has matched blood found on the porch of the home to Nancy Guthrie. Additionally, investigators revealed that her pacemaker disconnected from its monitoring app in the early morning hours of Sunday, February 1, narrowing the window of her disappearance.

The FBI has officially joined the investigation and is offering a $50,000 reward for information leading to her recovery or the arrest of those involved. Special Agent in Charge Heith Janke stated that federal authorities are taking reported ransom notes seriously and are currently reviewing their authenticity. This follows an emotional video plea released Wednesday evening by Savannah Guthrie and her siblings, Annie and Camron, in which they acknowledged the ransom reports and expressed a willingness to communicate. Savannah emphasized the need for proof of life, noting the family’s concern over manipulated media, and reiterated that her mother’s heart condition makes her daily medication critical for survival.

Despite the discovery of forced entry at the residence and the confirmation of the DNA evidence, authorities have yet to identify a specific suspect or person of interest. Sheriff Nanos maintained that investigators still believe Nancy is "out there" and are focusing on a criminal investigation rather than a search for a person who may have wandered off, citing her sound mind and limited mobility. Savannah Guthrie remains in Arizona with her family and has officially stepped away from her planned coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics to focus entirely on the search.
