Nancy Guthrie, 84, Missing Nearly 100 Days After Last Seen in Arizona Home

No suspect has been publicly identified.

Nanos stated three days after she was reported missing that authorities believe she was taken from her house against her will. Drops of Nancy Guthrie's blood were found at her home, including blood on her porch that matched her DNA. Her phone, heart medication and security camera, which had been unplugged, were also found at the residence.

Federal investigators collected DNA from someone other than Nancy Guthrie on her property. The FBI obtained a DNA sample from a glove found near Nancy Guthrie's home that appears to match a pair worn by the masked and armed individual spotted on doorbell camera footage.

The DNA analysis was awaiting quality control and official confirmation before being compared against known DNA profiles in a national database.

All family members have been cleared as possible suspects, Nanos said. The sheriff replied “We are” when asked if investigators were close to solving the case but offered no further details. No publicly released evidence has documented a confirmed abduction, ransom demand, or proof of life.

Suspected ransom notes were sent to TMZ and local outlets, according to earlier reporting cited in the coverage.

On May 10, 2026, Savannah Guthrie posted a Mother’s Day tribute to her mother on Instagram. “Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie – we miss you with every breath. We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you. We need help.

Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available. Please keep praying. Bring her home,” Guthrie wrote. The family has offered a $1 million reward for information that leads to Nancy Guthrie's recovery.

The FBI is offering a reward of $100,000. Savannah Guthrie returned to her co-hosting duties on the Today show on April 6, 2026.
