Guthrie family's urgent plea

The family of Nancy Guthrie, meanwhile, renewed its appeal to the public. The 84-year-old was reported missing on February 1 after she was last seen the previous evening. Authorities in Arizona believe she was taken from her home against her will.

In a newly shared statement, the Guthrie family called for “renewed attention” to the case and asked the public to revisit anything that might seem insignificant at first glance.

"We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greater Southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case," the Guthrie family said. “Someone knows something. It's possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant.”

Savannah Guthrie balancing search and return to TV

Amid the ongoing search, Savannah Guthrie has begun taking steps toward returning to her role on NBC’s Today show, though no official timeline has been announced.

Her colleague Jenna Bush Hager recently shared insight into Savannah’s mindset during this difficult period.

"She said that she has the intention to return to the show, even though it feels like the hardest thing to do, it's also her home, and where she feels so loved, and she is beyond loved here," Hager said. “And so we're happy that she is home. I don't know when she's actually returning to the show, but she was here, and that felt so good to get to hug her.”

Pima County officials share timeline

Meanwhile, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos gave a timeline. He told reporters that Nancy was last seen by family members at approximately 9:30 to 9:45 PM when her family dropped her off at her home.

"She was last seen by family at 9:45 and 9:30, 9:45. And did they see her in the home?" a reporter asked Nanos. He said ‘Yes’.
