It's been over a week since Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie's mom, Nancy Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson, Arizona home, and it's safe to say that the entire nation is hoping and praying for her to be safely returned home to her family.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing on February 1, 2026, after being abducted from her house sometime on the night of January 31. When she didn't appear in church on February 1, concerned parishioners alerted her family, who went to the home to check on her, then alerted police of her disappearance.
On February 2, the Pima County Sheriff's Department declared Nancy's home a crime scene, and an official investigation into her disappearance began.
TMZ then broke the news on February 3 that they'd been sent a ransom note directed at Guthrie's family, leading to further speculation that she'd been abducted and is being held against her will.

Savannah Guthrie, along with her sisterAnnie Guthrie and brother Camron Guthrie, have since recorded two videos intended for the alleged kidnappers.
The first video was posted on February 5, and Savannah pleaded for her mother's safe return.

View this post on InstagramIn a new interview with NewsNation on February 7, Joe Petito, the father of the late Gabby Petito, spoke out after seeing the latter video shared by Savannah Guthrie. Gabby Petito went missing during a cross-country RV trip in September of 2021. She was found deceased eight days later in an area near Grand Teton National Park, after being murdered by her fiance, Brian Laundrie.
Joe Petito responded to the latest video shared by Savannah Guthrie. When asked what goes through his mind after seeing the video, he said:
"It's heartbreaking that they have to do it in such a public forum. Something that's so hurtful and so painful that they have to endure... and then they have to do it in the public scrutiny is just that additive you just don't need."
He then spoke out about how he felt when his daughter Gabby went missing, as you'll hear in the clip below.

Petito replied with a direct message to Savannah Guthrie and her family, saying:
"Do what you feel is right, and at the same time, listen to the people who have done this before. It's my understanding the FBI is involved now. I'd love to see federal resources for every missing person... that's something that should happen... Just focus on what you believe to be right, and hopefully, that'll lead you to the right path, which is having Nancy come home safe."
