Savannah Guthrie is thinking of her mom, Nancy Guthrie, on Mother’s Day 2026.
“Mother, daughter, sister, Nonie, we miss you with every breath,” Savannah, 54, wrote via Instagram on Sunday, May 10, sharing throwback footage of the mother-daughter pair. “We will never stop looking for you. We will never be at peace until we find you.”
She continued, “We need help. Someone knows something that can make the difference. Call 1800CALLFBI. You can be anonymous and the reward remains available. Please keep praying. Bring her home.”
Nancy, 84, was reported missing from her home in Arizona in February. The case remains open and there are no significant leads at the time of publication.
“[My sister, Annie, called], she said, ‘She’s gone,’” Savannah said on the Today show in March, recalling how she was alerted of their mom’s disappearance. “She was in a panic. I was in a panic. I’m like, ‘Call 911.’ She’s like. ‘I did. We called them. They’re here.’”
She continued, “It was just chaos and disbelief. From the very early moments, Annie and [her husband] were saying [to authorities], ‘This isn’t a case that you are used to where someone wanders off. She can’t wander off.’”
As Nancy’s case has remained open for nearly 100 days, Savannah has remained cautious about giving her own two kids all the details.
“It’s so hard with kids. You want to protect them,” the Today cohost, who shares Vale and Charley with husband Michael Feldman, said at the time. “They’ll write me all the time, ‘Mama, any leads? You hear anything? Any hope?’ I think that we try to talk to them and try to get them a little more certainty than we have, to let them grieve.”
Savannah briefly took a step back from Today to be with her family. She returned to the morning show last month.
“She feels deep, searing pain, and she shows up,” former cohost Hoda Kotb exclusively told Us Weekly in April of Savannah’s broadcast return. “She’s showing that both things can be true. ome pain you carry, you’re not going to explain it away. You just have to go through life with it right in your pocket, and that’s what she’s doing. She’s doing it in a way that I’ve never seen anyone do it before.”
Kotb, 61, further recalled the first moment she saw Savannah back in the Today studio.
“When Savannah first walked on the set on Monday of this week, when I was there, she looked at me and she goes, ‘What is this, April of 2025?’” Kotb joked, referring to her signoff from the morning show. “Then she held me and didn’t let go. I’ve literally been marveling at how she navigates [this].”
Feldman, 57, shared his own Mother’s Day tribute to Savannah on Sunday, praising her strength during such a difficult time.
“To the strongest person I know,” Feldman wrote via Instagram alongside a blurry photo of Savannah embracing their two children. “Surrounding you with love on Mother’s Day.”
