The alleged kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie has left many heartbroken, especially her daughter, Savannah Guthrie. Recently, her friends have expressed immense concern about her well-being in the aftermath of her mother’s disappearance.
Speaking to Page Six, insiders close to Guthrie claimed she was feeling “devastated.” The anonymous friend added, “She looks like she’s struggling… She can’t be doing well.” It’s been nearly two months since the 84-year-old went missing from her Tucson home in Arizona.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI investigators continue their rigorous search for the missing lady. While there have been new leads, including enhanced surveillance footage and DNA analysis, there are still no solid leads on the suspect.

It’s not any better because even after announcing a hefty reward of $1 million, the perpetrators have still not stepped forward. Nor have there been any new tips. Moreover, because she suffers from a serious medical condition, things are not looking up.
Speaking of which, neither is her daughter doing too well, as we can see from her recent videos on Instagram. And how could she with her mother still missing? That’s something her friends also pointed out with worry. The insider claimed, “It looks like the light has gone out of her eyes…”
In the recent videos, Guthrie did appear rather down. Her usual smile and full cheeks are now replaced by eyes of pain and slightly sunken cheeks. Her voice dripped with pain, longing for her mother’s safe return. Naturally, as her friends mentioned, “anyone who knows her is worried about her.”
Since her mother’s kidnapping, support has been pouring in on Guthrie’s socials. Whether it’s on X or Instagram, her fans and followers continue to stand by her during this difficult time. On the eve of Day 24 of her mother’s disappearance, the NBC host shared a video updating viewers about the $1 million reward.
