The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie continues, but authorities have moved to put rumors about her family to rest. Nancy, the mother of Today host Savannah Guthrie, has been missing since January 31, when she was last dropped off at her home near Tucson, Arizona. While the investigation is ongoing, police have now confirmed that her family members are not considered suspects.
Over the past weeks, several individuals have been detained in connection with Nancy’s disappearance, and investigators are examining evidence, including a glove found near her home. Reports indicate it may match gloves worn by a suspect captured on her doorbell camera. Questions have also arisen about the last person to see Nancy alive, but authorities are careful not to unfairly target those connected to her.
Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos emphasized that Nancy’s family has been fully cooperative. “The Guthrie family—including all siblings and spouses—has been cleared as possible suspects,” Nanos said. “The family has been nothing but cooperative and gracious and are victims in this case. To suggest otherwise is not only wrong, it is cruel. The Guthrie family are victims, plain and simple.”
This clarification comes as law enforcement works to follow every lead in the case. Earlier reports indicated that police were “leaning away” from considering family members as suspects, and today’s update confirms those suspicions were unfounded.
The FBI has also increased the reward for information about Nancy’s disappearance from $50,000 to $100,000, underscoring the urgency of the investigation and the hope for her safe return. Authorities continue to review evidence, interview witnesses, and pursue all viable leads in the search for Nancy.
While the investigation unfolds, public support for the Guthrie family has grown. Messages of hope, prayers, and solidarity have poured in from across the country, reflecting both the national concern for Nancy and the respect for the family enduring this difficult ordeal.
Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance remains unresolved, but with authorities ruling out family involvement and doubling the reward, investigators are narrowing their focus on finding the truth. The nation continues to watch closely, hoping for news of her safe return.
