The heartache deepens as the search for Nancy Guthrie, the beloved mother of TODAY co-host Savannah Guthrie, stretches into its 11th week. Despite the growing uncertainty, Savannah continues to be a beacon of hope, recently sharing a touching message of resilience and faith with her followers on Instagram and Facebook.
Savannah’s voice rang out with unwavering hope as she shared her message on May 30, 2026. The TODAY co-anchor posted an image with the powerful, simple words, “I believe, I believe.”
The emotional message accompanied Savannah’s return to the digital world after a significant absence. Her absence had raised concerns, but now, in the midst of the ongoing search for her mother, Savannah is back, radiating a renewed sense of strength and determination.
The Search for Nancy Guthrie
The story of Nancy Guthrie, 84, has captivated hearts nationwide. Nancy was last seen on January 31, 2026, after being dropped off at her home in Tucson, Arizona. The following day, her disappearance would become a mystery that has haunted the public, with troubling circumstances surrounding her sudden vanishing.
Nancy’s family, including Savannah, her siblings Annie and Camron, and their spouses, have continued their appeals for help, stressing that every piece of information is vital. In a statement shared during a special news segment, Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the family expressed deep gratitude for the support they’ve received from Tucson locals, calling them “family.”
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends, and the people of Tucson. We are all family now,” the Guthrie family said in their statement. “We continue to believe that it is the people of Tucson and the greater Southern Arizona community who hold the key to bringing Nancy home.”
New Leads in the Investigation
The investigation into Nancy’s disappearance has revealed chilling developments. Surveillance footage showing a masked man at her front door has only deepened the mystery.
On March 12, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos shared an exclusive update with NBC News, revealing that investigators believe they know the motive behind the abduction. “We believe we know why [the kidnapper] did this and we believe it was targeted, but we’re not 100% sure of that,” Sheriff Nanos stated, offering some hope that the identity of Nancy’s abductor may soon be revealed.
Savannah’s Return to TODAY
On May 5, Savannah returned to TODAY for the first time since her mother’s disappearance, visiting her colleagues and offering a glimpse into her strength amid the ongoing crisis. Though she has expressed her desire to return to the show full-time, her primary focus remains supporting her family and helping to bring her mother back home.
The Guthrie Family’s Continued Effort
Throughout the investigation, Savannah and her family have remained vocal, sharing their ongoing messages of hope and gratitude. A video posted by Savannah on February 15 resonated deeply with her followers, where she made a heartfelt appeal to anyone who might know where her mother is:
“I wanted to say to whoever has her or knows where she is that it’s never too late. And you’re not lost or alone. And it is never too late to do the right thing. And we are here. And we believe.”
Community Support and Hope
In these dark times, the support of the community has been a beacon of light for the Guthrie family. The involvement of law enforcement and the public is critical in the ongoing search for Nancy. The Guthrie family remains hopeful that Nancy will be found and returned to those who love her most.
As Savannah Guthrie said on May 30, “I believe, I believe,” and the world continues to hold on to that hope alongside her.
