The second part of Savannah Guthrie’s sit-down with Hoda Kotb aired on the Today show on Thursday, March 26, 2026, providing a harrowing look into the disappearance of her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
Nearly two months after Nancy was taken from her home in Tucson, Arizona, Savannah addressed the “cruel speculation” surrounding the case and provided new details regarding the evidence of an abduction.
Addressing the “Inside Job” Rumors
One of the most difficult segments of the interview focused on the public and online whispers suggesting family involvement.
-
Family Defense: Savannah adamantly defended her siblings, stating that “no one took better care” of her mother than her sister Annie, her brother-in-law Tommy, and her brother Camron Guthrie.
-
The Toll of Innuendo: She described the speculation as “unbearable,” noting that it “piles pain upon pain” during an already agonizing time.
-
Vindication by Video: Savannah pointed to the recovered footage of a masked man outside Nancy’s home on the night of the disappearance as the evidence that finally silenced the “inside job” theories.
The Ransom Notes: Real vs. Exploitation
The investigation has been complicated by a series of ransom notes sent to the family. Savannah clarified the family’s stance on these communications:
-
Authenticity: While the family received numerous notes, Savannah believes only two were authentic. These were the notes the family chose to respond to.
-
Cruel Hoaxes: She dismissed the majority of the other messages as “cruel attempts at exploitation” by people taking advantage of the high-profile nature of the case.
Evidence of Foul Play
Savannah reiterated that the family knew immediately that this was not a case of an elderly person “wandering off” due to confusion or health issues.
-
Physical Limitations: Nancy suffered from severe back pain; on her best days, she could only walk as far as the mailbox.
-
Crime Scene Details: Savannah revealed chilling details from the night of the disappearance:
-
The front doors were propped open.
-
There was blood on the front doorstep.
-
The Ring camera had been ripped off the wall.
-
The Current Status
As of late March 2026, Nancy Guthrie remains missing. During the interview, a tearful Savannah made a direct plea to the public, urging anyone with information to “do the right thing.”
While the passage of time has made optimism difficult, the Guthrie family continues to work closely with law enforcement in Tucson to find answers and bring Nancy home.
