The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of "Today" co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, entered its seventh month this week with no new leads - but a fresh round of national attention after federal officials addressed the case publicly for the first time in weeks.
Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday, the newly confirmed U.S. Attorney General called the situation "a horrible situation," adding, "I share the grief and frustration that you and your colleagues have and that the whole country has in this situation." Asked whether he had any new information to share, he said only that he wished he did, calling the case "heartbreaking, especially when it plays out nationally, like this one has."
Federal officials reaffirmed that the FBI is continuing to support the investigation alongside Pima County Sheriff's Department, providing manpower and forensic assistance, though state and local law enforcement remain in the lead. Investigators have previously released doorbell camera footage of a masked individual near Nancy's home and confirmed blood found near her entrance matched her DNA. No suspect has been publicly named.
Nancy Guthrie was last seen at her Tucson-area home on the night of January 31 and was reported missing the next day after she failed to appear for a Sunday church livestream - something her family says she never missed. A combined reward of more than $1.2 million remains active for information leading to her safe return.
Through more than six months without answers, the Guthrie family has continued to lean publicly on their faith, with Savannah repeatedly thanking supporters for their prayers. JubileeCast continues to hold that same posture alongside them, and will keep following this story as it develops.
Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or Tucson's 88-CRIME tip line at 520-351-4900.
