New details have been released in the investigation into the disappearance of Today host Savannah Guthrie’s mother as the search enters its third day.
Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen Saturday night at her home in the Tucson, Ariz., area, where she lived alone and was reported missing Sunday. Authorities believe she was taken against her will.
“We believe she was taken out of the home against her will, and that’s how this investigation is moving,” Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos told NBC Nightly News.
“I can’t think of the last time where, in the middle of the night in someone’s bed, an 84-year-old woman disappeared on us,” he added.
Nanos clarified that he “meant that figuratively” when referring to Nancy being abducted from her bed.
“[Nanos] did not mean that she was literally taken from her bed,” the sheriff’s department told NBC News.
Nanos confirmed investigators found DNA evidence at Nancy’s home, which is being treated as “a crime scene.”
“We took some samples that we hope will have enough of a DNA profile,” Nanos told the Today show on Feb. 3. “That will give us some identification as to what we’re looking at.”
He added that it could take several more days before investigators receive anything conclusive from the DNA samples.

Nanos said that the search for Nancy is “a race against time” and hopes “that window hasn’t closed” as the investigation continues.
Nanos said she must be found soon because she could die without her medication, urging whoever has her to free her.
“If she’s alive right now, her meds are vital. I can’t stress that enough. It’s been better than 24 hours, and the family tells us if she doesn’t have those meds, it can become fatal,” Nanos said.

The missing senior has limited mobility, and officials do not believe she left on her own. Nanos said she is of sound mind.
Pima County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Kevin Adger told the Times that investigators believe Nancy was “taken from the home against her will, possibly in the middle of the night.”
“Detectives are looking into a possible kidnapping or abduction,” he added.
Investigators found signs of forced entry at Nancy’s home, a person familiar with the investigation told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
They reportedly found specific evidence in the home showing there was a nighttime kidnapping, the person told the outlet. Several of Nancy’s personal items, including her cellphone, wallet and car, were still there after she disappeared.
Surveillance video from nearby homes is being analyzed by investigators. They are working to analyze data from cellphone towers. Police are reviewing information from licence plate cameras in the area, according to the source, who was not authorized to publicly discuss details of the case and spoke to AP on condition of anonymity.
On Tuesday, for the second day, Today opened with Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance, but her daughter was not at the anchor’s desk.
On Monday night, Savannah shared a post on Instagram, writing, “Thank you for lifting your prayers with ours for our beloved mom, our dearest Nancy, a woman of deep conviction, a good and faithful servant. Raise your prayers with us and believe with us that she will be lifted by them in this very moment … bring her home.”
A non-profit group that works with the sheriff’s department in southern Arizona called 88-Crime has offered a reward of up to $2,500 for information leading to the arrest of the person or people involved in Nancy’s disappearance.

TPUSA, founded by late right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk, announced that the lineup for its halftime show will include Kid Rock and country artists Brantley Gilbert, Lee Brice and Gabby Barrett.
The “All-American Halftime Show” is being promoted as “celebrating faith, family and freedom” and will be livestreamed Sunday on TPUSA’s various social media accounts at the same time as Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny’s NFL Super Bowl halftime show, according to the website.
Kid Rock, an ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, said that they are approaching their halftime show “like David and Goliath.”
The All Summer Long singer continued: “Competing with the pro football machine and a global pop superstar is almost impossible … or is it?”
“He’s said he’s having a dance party, wearing a dress, and singing in Spanish? Cool. We plan to play great songs for folks who love America,” Kid Rock said of Bad Bunny.
TPUSA spokesman Andrew Kolvet said the halftime show is “an opportunity for all Americans to enjoy a halftime show with no agenda other than to celebrate faith, family and freedom.”
“We set out to provide an entertainment option that will be fun, excellent, and exciting for the entire family while millions are gathered together for the big game. These performers will deliver exactly that, and we can’t wait to watch the incredible show they’re about to put on. We know millions around the country will be watching too,” he added.
U.S. Vice-President JD Vance celebrated the scheduled performers on X, writing, “Fantastic lineup for the TPUSA halftime show, including the great Bob Ritchie AKA KID ROCK.”
“Hey @TPUSA, how can @DeptofWar get in on this?” Defense Secretary Pete Hegsethadded.
“I don’t know who he is. I don’t know why they’re doing it — it’s, like, crazy,” Trump told Newsmax in October. “They blame it on some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment. I think it’s absolutely ridiculous.”
Bad Bunny made history at the 2026 Grammy Awards after his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos became the first Spanish-language album to win the Grammy for album of the year.
“Before I say thanks to God, I’m going to say, ‘ICE out,'” he said at the beginning of his speech while accepting the award for best música urbana album. “We’re not savage, we’re not animals, we’re not aliens, we are humans and we are Americans.”
“The hate gets more powerful with more hate. The only thing that is more powerful than hate is love,” he continued. “We need to be different. We fight. We have to do it with love. We love our people, we love our family, and that’s the way to do it, with love. Don’t forget that.”

“You may not know this but I’m doing the Super Bowl halftime show,” Bad Bunny said at the time. “I’m very happy and I think everyone is very happy about it! Even Fox News.”
SNL played a montage of clips of news coverage that were critical of his upcoming performance but it was edited to say: “Bad Bunny is my favourite musician and he should be the next president.”
“Really, I’m very excited to be doing the Super Bowl and I know people all around the world who love my music are also happy,” he said.
The Mia rapper spoke in Spanish before switching back to English and telling the audience, “If you didn’t understand now what I just said, you have four months to learn.”
“I’m anti-them. I think it’s a terrible choice. All it does is sow hatred. Terrible,” Trump said.
Bad Bunny: What makes him a halftime game – changer
Trump, 79, said he might have considered attending the 60th Super Bowl if the location were closer.
“It’s just too far away. I would. I’ve [gotten] great hands [at] the Super Bowl. They like me,” Trump said. “I would go if, you know, it was a little bit shorter.”
In addition to performances by Bad Bunny and Green Day, Charlie Puth will perform the national anthem at the Super Bowl, while Brandi Carlile will sing America the Beautiful and Coco Jones will perform Lift Every Voice and Sing.

The disappearance of the 84-year-old mother of Today show host Savannah Guthrie over the weekend is being investigated as a crime based on what authorities saw at her home, an Arizona sheriff said Monday.
Speaking during a news conference, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos said there are signs at the home indicating Nancy Guthrie did not leave on her own.
“I need this community to step up and start giving us some calls,” Nanos said.
Asked to explain why investigators believe it’s a crime scene, Nanos said Nancy Guthrie has limited mobility and said there were other things that indicated she did not leave on her own, but declined to further elaborate.
The sheriff said Nancy Guthrie, who lived alone, was of sound mind. “This is not dementia-related. She’s as sharp as a tack. The family wants everyone to know that this isn’t someone who just wandered off,” Nanos said. He said she needs her daily medication.
Nanos said at a news conference Sunday night that Nancy Guthrie was last seen around 9:30 p.m. Saturday at her home in the Tucson area. Her family reported her missing around noon Sunday. The sheriff said a family member received a call from someone at church saying Nancy Guthrie wasn’t there, leading family to search for her at her home and then calling 911.

Searchers were using drones and search dogs to look for Nancy Guthrie, Nanos said. Search and rescue teams were supported by volunteers and Border Patrol and the homicide team was also involved, he said. It is not standard for the homicide team to get involved in such cases, Nanos said.
“This one stood out because of what was described to us at the scene and what we located just looking at the scene,” Nanos said Sunday. He was not ruling out foul play.
On Monday morning, Nanos said search crews worked hard but have since been pulled back. “We don’t see this as a search mission so much as it is a crime scene,” the sheriff said. Savannah Guthrie issued a statement on Monday, NBC’s Today show reported.
“On behalf of our family, I want to thank everyone for the thoughts, prayers and messages of support,” she said. “Right now, our focus remains on the safe return of our dear Nancy.”
Today opened Monday’s show with the disappearance of the co-anchor’s mother, but Savannah was not at the anchor’s desk. Nanos said during the Monday news conference that she is in Arizona. Savannah grew up in Tucson and graduated from the University of Arizona.
Nancy Guthrie appeared in a November 2025 story her daughter did about her hometown. Over a meal, Savannah asked her mother what made the family want to plant roots in Tucson in the 1970s.
“It’s so wonderful. Just the air, the quality of life,” Nancy said. “It’s laid back and gentle.”

After congratulating Billie Eilish for winning song of the year, Noah, 41, brought up Trump, 79, and Epstein, saying, “Wow. That’s a Grammy that every artist wants — almost as much as Trump wants Greenland.”
“Which makes sense because since Epstein’s gone, he needs a new island to hang out with Bill Clinton,” Noah added.
After the reaction to the joke during the show, which included some uncomfortable “ohs” and murmurs from the crowd, Noah said, “Oh, I told you, it’s my last year. What are you going to do about it?”

After the Grammys aired, Trump reacted to Noah’s comments on Truth Social, writing in a lengthy diatribe, “The Grammy Awards are the WORST, virtually unwatchable! CBS is lucky not to have this garbage litter their airwaves any longer.”
“The host, Trevor Noah, whoever he may be, is almost as bad as Jimmy Kimmel at the Low Ratings Academy Awards. Noah said, INCORRECTLY about me, that Donald Trump and Bill Clinton spent time on Epstein Island. WRONG!!!”
Trump said he “can’t speak for Bill” but claimed that he has “never been to Epstein Island, nor anywhere close, and until tonight’s false and defamatory statement, have never been accused of being there, not even by the Fake News Media.”
“Noah, a total loser, better get his facts straight, and get them straight fast. It looks like I’ll be sending my lawyers to sue this poor, pathetic, talentless, dope of an M.C., and suing him for plenty$. Ask Little George Slopadopolus, and others, how that all worked out. Also ask CBS! Get ready Noah, I’m going to have some fun with you,” Trump wrote.

Noah made several other comments about Trump throughout the night.
During his opening monologue, he pointed out that Nicki Minaj was not in attendance at this year’s Grammy Awards.
“Nicki Minaj is not here,” Noah said, to big cheers from the audience at Crypto.com Arena. “She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.”
Last week, Minaj visited and praised Trump, the culmination of a move toward MAGA that she’s made in recent months.
Noah broke into a Trump impression, saying, “Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest ass, everybody’s saying it, Nicki.”

“This is my sixth and last year hosting the Grammys. I’ve loved my time, but I believe in term limits. I wanted to set an example for anyone who might be watching the show. Leave when your time is up,” Noah said, referencing Trump seeking a third term.
At a different point in the show, Noah joked about the president suing TV networks when he said the Grammys were airing “completely live” because “if we edited any of the show, the president would sue CBS for $16 billion,” referring to Trump’s recent history with CBS News and a settlement he got from Paramount last summer.
Noah has not yet commented on Trump’s threats to sue him after his comments at the Grammys.
Trump and Clinton have both denied any wrongdoing and have not been charged with any crimes related to Epstein.
The Justice Department on Friday released many more records from its investigative files on Epstein, resuming disclosures under a law intended to reveal what the government knew about the millionaire financier’s sexual abuse of young girls and his interactions with rich and powerful people like Trump and Clinton.
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said the department released more than three million pages of documents, along with more than 2,000 videos and 180,000 images. The files, posted to the department’s website, include some of the several million pages of records that officials said were withheld from an initial release in December 2025.

The documents were disclosed under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, the law enacted after months of public and political pressure that requires the government to open its files on the late financier and his confidant and onetime girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The records have thousands of references to Trump, including emails in which Epstein and others shared news articles about him, commented on his policies or politics or gossiped about him and his family. Also included was a spreadsheet created last August summarizing calls to the FBI’s National Threat Operation Center or to a hotline established by prosecutors from people claiming, without corroboration, to have some knowledge of wrongdoing by Trump.
The tens of thousands of pages released in December included previously released flight logs showing that Trump flew on Epstein’s private jet in the 1990s and several photographs of Clinton. None of Epstein’s victims who have gone public with their stories have publicly accused Trump or Clinton of wrongdoing. Both have said they had no knowledge Epstein was abusing underage girls.
