Savannah Guthrie’s mother Nancy Guthrie was abducted from her bed and “dragged” from her home near Tucson, Arizona, police say.
Nancy, 84, was last seen at her home in the Catalina Foothills around 9:45 p.m. on Saturday, January 31.
A rep for the Pima County Sheriff’s Office says Nancy is believed to have been abducted from her $1 million home in the upscale neighborhood. The rep said investigators are looking at registered sex offenders in the area.
Police are combing through video footage from nearby homes, businesses and traffic cameras.
Sources tell Naughty But Nice that security has been ramped up around Savannah’s family, and multiple Today show hosts.
“This is not routine,” one senior network insider tells Naughty But Nice. “NBC security has been in active talks with law enforcement all day. This is being treated with extreme caution.”
Additional private security guards have been quietly put in place at studios, residences, and during travel — not just for Savannah, but for other on-air talent as well.
The sheriff’s office is communicating with the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which investigates kidnapping and missing persons cases.
Customs and Border agents are also involved in the case, TMZ reports.
Savannah is set to drop out of hosting the start of the 2026 Winter Olympics on Friday, February 6.
Savannah planned to stay in Italy for a week to cover the Winter Olympics alongside former co-host Hoda Kotb.
“There is no universe where Savannah gets on a plane to Italy right now,” one senior NBC source said. “She’s devastated. Family comes first. Period.”
“Everyone is shaken,” another insider said. “Savannah is devastated, but she’s also being protected. The network is fully behind her.”
