Does Savannah Guthrie’s Mom Nancy Have Health Issues?
Yes, apparently Nancy is dealing with at least one health issue, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. During a press conference, the sheriff said that Nancy “is not in good physical health” amid her disappearance.
However, Chris pointed out that Nancy has “no cognitive issues at all” and is “very alert, she’s of good, sound mind.”
Today viewers should recall seeing Nancy on their TV screens in the past. Her last appearance on the news program was in November 2025, when Savannah did a segment on her hometown, Tucson.
What Happened to Savannah Guthrie’s Mother?
It’s still unclear what exactly happened to Savannah’s mom, but Sheriff Nanos said during a press conference that the scene at Nancy’s Arizona home was “very concerning” and of “grave concern.” Therefore, law enforcement acted promptly, and authorities started using drones, airplanes and helicopters in their search for Nancy.
The possibility of foul play has not been ruled out in Nancy’s missing persons case, though she has yet to be found.
“I hope we find her safe and sound, but we can’t ignore what’s in front of us,” Sheriff Nanos told reporters.
Did They Find Savannah Guthrie’s Mom, Nancy, Yet?
No. At the time of publication, Nancy has not been found yet, but law enforcement is working to locate her.
As previously noted, Savannah asked the public to call the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at (520) 351-4900 if they have any information about her mom’s whereabouts.
