We\u2019re all so close with her, we all want to help her. I\u2019m looking at us and I was thinking, \u2018Who was first in the hospital when [my daughter] Hope was sick? Savannah. Who hopped on a plane when [Carson\u2019s] parents [died]? Savannah. Who was sitting by [Sheinelle\u2019s late husband] Uche<\/strong> [Ojeh<\/strong>]\u2019s side? How about when your brother passed, [Craig]? She was there.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n![\"Hoda](\"https:\/\/www.usmagazine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/GettyImages-2068913643-hoda-kotb-olympics.jpg?w=1000&quality=86&strip=all\")

\n Hoda Kotb<\/span> Dimitrios Kambouris\/Getty Images for Friends of Hudson River Park<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nNews broke on February 1 that Nancy was reported missing in Arizona<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\nAccording to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos<\/strong>, Nancy traveled to a family dinner <\/span><\/a>via an Uber around 5:32 p.m. local time on January 31 and was dropped off by family at her home at 9:48 p.m. Authorities were able to confirm the garage door closed at 9:50 p.m.<\/p>\nAt 1:57 a.m. on February 1, Nancy\u2019s doorbell camera was disconnected. Later, at 2:12 a.m., software detected something on camera, but footage is not available. In a press conference, Nanos said the movement could have been an animal.<\/p>\n
As of Friday, police had yet to name any suspects or persons of interest.<\/p>\n
Although Savannah was initially set to host the 2026 Winter Olympics ceremony, she withdrew from her duties<\/span><\/a> after her mom went missing. Mary Carillo<\/strong> later took her spot and joined Terry Gannon<\/strong> for the special event.<\/p>\n\u201cThat is exactly what it takes to bring you the Olympics, a team and we are certainly without a very important, beloved member of our team tonight: Our friend and colleague Savannah Guthrie,\u201d Gannon said during Friday\u2019s live broadcast<\/span><\/a>. \u201cShe is dearly missed by everybody here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\nThank You!<\/h3>\n
