Savannah Guthrie Visits Mom’s Tucson Home, Adds Flowers to Memorial One Month After Nancy’s Disappearance

Savannah Guthrie returned to her mom’s house in Tucson on March 2, marking one full month since Nancy Guthrie vanished. She went there with her sister Annie and Annie’s husband Tommaso Cioni. It was the first time they’d all been back to the property together since that awful night in early February.

The three of them stood quietly by the driveway, taking in the growing pile of flowers and notes people have left as a tribute near Nancy’s mailbox. You could see the emotion—they hugged each other tightly, just holding on for a moment amid all the yellow blooms and ribbons.

Savannah later shared a photo on social media of the colorful bouquets surrounding the mailbox, with a heartfelt caption: “We feel the love and prayers from our neighbors, from the Tucson community and from around the country 💛 please don’t stop praying and hoping with us. bring her home.”

That yellow ribbon tradition goes way back—neighbors told me it started in the late ‘70s during the Iran hostage crisis, a simple way to show hope when someone’s missing or taken. One ribbon even had a Bible verse from Isaiah taped to it: “When you go through deep waters, I will be with you.” It’s heartbreaking, but it’s also a reminder of how much support the family has.

Nancy, who turns 84, was last seen heading into her garage around 9:50 p.m. on January 31. The next day, when she didn’t show up for a virtual church service with friends, the family reported her missing around noon on February 1. Police believe she was taken from her bed in the early hours—surveillance from her doorbell camera captured a masked person approaching the house, the camera got disconnected at 1:47 a.m., someone was spotted at 2:12 a.m., and her pacemaker app lost connection at 2:28 a.m.

The investigation is still very much active. The Pima County Sheriff’s Office and FBI are chasing down leads, though no suspect has been named yet. Sheriff Chris Nanos said recently that things are moving forward and they’re “getting closer,” but he knows everyone wants answers faster. Resources have been shifted to focus more on detectives assigned to the case, and patrols continue around the neighborhood.

The family—Savannah, Annie, and their brother Camron—has been in Arizona since the beginning, posting updates and pleas online. A couple weeks ago, they raised the reward to $1 million for info leading to Nancy’s safe return or an arrest (the FBI’s $100,000 reward is still out there too). Savannah has spoken so openly about the pain, saying the days feel like agony, fearing for her mom while missing her terribly. She even acknowledged the hardest possibility—that Nancy might already be gone—but stressed they just need to know, to bring her home either for a miracle reunion or to honor her life properly.

She’s urged anyone with even a small piece of information to come forward: “It’s never too late to do the right thing.” Tips can stay anonymous—call the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI (1-800-225-5324) or the Pima County Sheriff’s Department at 520-351-4900.

The family also donated $500,000 to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, knowing so many others are going through similar uncertainty. The community here has really stepped up with vigils, flowers, and yellow ribbons everywhere. It’s a tough, ongoing wait, but the hope hasn’t faded.

If you have any details that could help, please reach out. The family—and everyone rooting for Nancy—would be so grateful.
