NBC Star's 84-Year-Old Mom Vanishes; Kidnapper Probably Didn’t Check 'Today' Ratings

KEY POINTS

•Nancy Guthrie, mother of 'Today' anchor Savannah Guthrie, disappeared from her Tucson home January 31st.
•Authorities treated the case as a possible kidnapping after noticing Nancy’s critical medication was unattended and her car and phone were left behind.
•Savannah posted a prayer request on Instagram and has not appeared on the 'Today' show since her mom went missing.

Nancy Guthrie, 84, mother of 'Today' host Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson home after being dropped off on January 31. Authorities declared this a possible kidnapping, noting Nancy's limited mobility and critical medication needs that turn deadly if missed past 24 hours. Despite drones, helicopters, and search dogs scouring Pima County, Nancy’s car and phone were suspiciously left behind, like someone missed the memo about modern abduction etiquette. Sheriff Chris Nanos pleaded for abductors to 'just call.' Savannah hasn't appeared on 'Today' since her mom disappeared Sunday, but posted a heartfelt Insta-plea invoking Isaiah and humanity's goodness, clearly wishing kidnappers had Instagram etiquette too.
