Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance has left investigators and the public in the dark. After more than 14 days of her disappearance, there is no clue in sight, and there is a continued threat to the 84-year-old’s safety. Nancy, the mother of NBC’s Today co-anchor, Savannah Guthrie, went missing from her Tucson, Arizona, home on January 31, 2026. Since then, the investigation has been directed towards the possibility that she might have been abducted. But despite extensive searches, forensic testing, and thousands of public tips, law enforcement has found no conclusive evidence of her location. Amid the uncertainty, the Pima County Sheriff recently shared his estimate on how long it might take to find Nancy.
How long would it take to find Nancy Guthrie?
Pima County Sheriff, Chris Nanos sat down with The New York Times for a conversation and addressed the investigation’s timeline. He admitted that there is no predictable timeline for finding Nancy Guthrie’ and that it could even take an hour, a day, months, or years to finally locate Nancy. For those unaware, CNN reported that the cops have been working continuously, reviewing surveillance footage, collecting DNA samples, and analyzing evidence such as gloves found near Nancy’s home. At the same time, the FBI is following leads and looking for a masked man seen outside Nancy’s home. In his words:
“Maybe it’s an hour from now, maybe it’s weeks or months or years from now.”
