Today Show Hosts Special Ireland Episode Amid Ongoing Search for Savannah Guthrie's MotherPreviousNext

NBC's Today Show announced a special live episode in Ireland, highlighting host Savannah Guthrie's Irish heritage through her mother Nancy Guthrie's family from Galway. Nancy, 84, was kidnapped from her Tucson home in February 2026, and the search remains active with FBI involvement and ongoing forensic analyses. During the announcement, Savannah referred to her mother in the past tense, which a source clarified was not an indication of Nancy's death. The investigation continues with no suspects named.
