This week, as the desperate search for Nancy Guthrie continues, we examine the latest developments in the tragic disappearance that has shocked the entire nation.
Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1, 2026, marking the beginning of a multi-agency investigation that has gripped Americans as law enforcement works against the clock to determine her whereabouts. The 84-year-old mother of Today co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, Nancy was last seen entering her home after being dropped off by her son-in-law, Tommaso Cioni, at her residence in Catalina Foothills, Arizona.
As the investigation continues, we examine what is known about the case, what the imagery of the suspect filmed outside her doorstep on the night of her disappearance reveals, and the crucial missteps early in the investigation that have complicated the search, which has now remained underway for weeks amid concerns for the missing woman’s well-being.
This episode of Middle Theory is dedicated to Nancy Guthrie and her family: our hearts remain with them in this difficult time, and we continue to pray for her safe return to her loved ones.
