Savannah Guthrie may have revealed too much information about her mom during an episode of Today last fall.
In a November 2025 piece about Savannah's beloved hometown, she told viewers, "I'm proud when I say I'm from Tucson, Arizona. I grew up there, went to college there. My mom still lives there."
She later met up with her now-missing mom, Nancy, and sister Annie, at a Mexican restaurant. "The best thing is coming home and seeing you guys," the NBC star told them during the sweet reunion.
Nancy Guthrie has been missing since January 31.
Unfortunately, the 84-year-old has been missing for five days now after mysteriously disappearing on Sunday, February 1. Authorities believe she was abducted as she suffers from limited mobility, and blood was discovered outside her upscale Catalina Foothills residence.
"There's a lot of soul searching at NBC about whether their segment made Nancy a target," a source at the show admitted to an outlet.
"People around here [NBC] are going to think twice before putting their family on television at all," the insider added amid Nancy's alleged kidnapping.
Savannah Guthrie's Sister Annie Was the Last Person to See Their Mom
Annie Guthrie was the last person to see or hear from Nancy.
Nancy's disappearance was reported by family members at around 12:15 p.m. on Sunday after she failed to show up to church services.
The Today show anchor's mom was last seen at around 9:30 p.m. the night before, with Annie reportedly having had dinner with the retiree.
