Nancy Guthrie's family has been ‌cleared as possible suspects in her abduction, Pima County Sheriff ​Chris Nanos said on Monday (February 16, 2026), as the case involving ⁠the mother of "Today" show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie entered its third week. Guthrie's family, which includes "all siblings and spouses," has been cooperative and gracious as authorities investigate the kidnapping, ‌Mr. "The Guthrie family ‌are victims plain and simple." But there has been no known direct contact between Ms. Guthrie's presumed captors and her family, or with authorities. Traces of blood found on her front porch were confirmed by DNA tests to have come from Ms. Guthrie, officials said last week.
