Savannah Guthrie Returns to Today After Early Exit as Search for Missing Mother Presses On

Investigators say the case now hinges on DNA and video analysis.

Overview

  • Savannah Guthrie returned to the Today desk Thursday, a day after leaving the broadcast early with no explanation.
  • Co-anchor Craig Melvin told viewers Wednesday that she “had to leave a little early,” and Page Six later cited a source who said she left for an appointment unrelated to the case.
  • Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing February 1 from her Tucson home, and officials continue to treat the case as a likely abduction with no suspect publicly identified.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Department says it is working with the FBI, with DNA and video analysis underway across laboratories nationwide.
  • Key evidence includes doorbell images of a masked person who appeared armed outside Nancy’s home, and the family has offered a $1 million reward and urged tips to the FBI or the sheriff’s office.
