The Pima County Sheriff's Department has announced that the family of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of Today co-host Savannah Guthrie, has been cleared of any involvement in her disappearance. Authorities say the Guthrie family, including in-laws, have been cooperative and are not suspects in the case.
Why it matters
The clearance of the Guthrie family as suspects suggests police may be closing in on potential persons of interest, though they have not named any suspects publicly. This update helps dispel earlier media speculation about the family's potential involvement.
The details
Police spokesperson Chris Nanos stated that there is no reason to believe the Guthrie family is anything other than victims in Nancy Guthrie's disappearance. He asked the media to stop sensationalizing the case and pointing fingers at the family, as there is no evidence of their involvement. While authorities previously searched near the home of Nancy's daughter Annie and son-in-law Tommaso Cioni, Nanos said this was likely due to them being the last to see Nancy before she went missing.
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, has been missing for 17 days as of February 16, 2026.
- The Pima County Sheriff's Department provided the update clearing the Guthrie family on February 16, 2026.
