Savannah Guthrie father: How did her dad Charles die? All on his tragic death as Nancy remains missing
While Savannah Guthrie's mom remains missing in Arizona, her dad Charles died years ago from a heart attack.
While Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother, Nancy Guthrie, remains missing after her disappearance from Arizona, there is considerable public interest regarding her father, Charles Guthrie.
Guthrie’s father died tragically years before her mother’s disappearance.
Savannah has two siblings and she is the youngest of three children born to Nancy and Charles Guthrie, reported Page Six.
During a news conference, the Pima County sheriff stated that Nancy mysteriously disappeared from her residence after being last seen by her family on the evening of January 31, and authorities now consider the home to be a “crime scene.”
While the sheriff informed CBS News that he suspects Nancy was abducted, the motive behind such an act remains unclear, particularly regarding why anyone would wish to take Savannah’s mother.
Savannah Guthrie’s father's cause of death
Nancy Guthrie, at the age of 46, experienced the loss of her husband Charles, who died from a heart attack, according to Page Six. Her husband worked as a mining engineer. At the time of his death, Savannah was in her final year of high school.
In a podcast interview with Brooke Shields, Nancy revealed that Charles suffered his first heart attack when Savannah was 13 years old.
She shared with Hoda Kotb on her Making Space podcast that her father had an amazing, magnetic, joyous, charismatic, incredibly loving, warm, kind, and forbearing personality.
“There’s like an electricity in the air,” Savannah reminisced on the Making Space podcast in 2024. “And I can remember my mom coming toward me to try to hug me and tell me really fast, ‘Dad died.’”
Savannah Guthrie named her son after dad
Savannah and her spouse chose to name their son after her father, whose passing she described as shocking, stating it shattered the “whole world apart.”
Savannah has two kids -- daughter Vale, 11, and son Charley, 9 -- with husband Michael Feldman.
