FBI Joins Hunt for 'Today' Host's Mom Who Mastered Vanishing Act

KEY POINTS

•Nancy Guthrie, mother of NBC 'Today' co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson home on February 1 after missing church services.
•Authorities, including the FBI, launched a multi-agency investigation to find her, highlighting her strong community ties and family significance.
•Nancy, a University of Kentucky graduate who worked at the University of Arizona for tuition benefits, has been a guiding presence in Savannah's career and life.

Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old University of Kentucky alum and mother of embarrassing law-turned-journalism prodigy Savannah Guthrie, vanished mysteriously from her Tucson home on February 1 after a no-show at church—which begs the question: did she decide to skip a mandatory 4-service Sunday lineup? After years of being called the ‘rock’ who raised kids amid husband Charles’ fictionalized heart attack in Mexico, Nancy’s disappearance has prompted a multi-agency investigation, including the FBI, proving that even a public relations guru who made tuition free can still pull off the greatest disappearing act since her daughter woke up post-law degree. Locals see the Guthries as Tucson royalty, which now includes searching for their queen.
