Nancy 6-Week Update

MacKenzie Comfort, Editor

March 12, 2026

It has been 40 days since the missing case of 84-year-old Nancy Guhrie opened. TODAY’s host, Savannah Guthrie’s mother, was taken from her Arizona home in the middle of the night.

This past week, the usage of search dogs was reported to no longer be in use for the search. After weeks of undergoing the use of these dogs both in her home and around the area, the police department made an official statement. “They are available if needed in the future,” Sheriff Chris Nanos said to Fox News Digital.

And after conducting a door-to-door questioning of Guthrie’s neighbors, no official statement from law enforcement was released regarding this step in the investigation.

However, the glove that was found just two miles from the missing mother’s home was traced for DNA. Not only was this a big hope for a breakthrough, but a big fall as well, because the glove was traced back to an employee from a restaurant just down the road. The other gloves found near the scene are still being traced, but the same outcome is likely.

On March 5th, 2026, TODAY host and daughter of Nancy Guthrie, Savannah Guthrie, made her return to the TODAY show studio for the first time since the disappearance. A “Today” show spokesperson told Fox News Digital, “Savannah Guthrie stopped by the studio this morning to be with and thank her TODAY colleagues.” It was later revealed that the plan for Savannah to officially go back to her host position was still highly focused on being with her family during this difficult time, and most importantly, bringing home her mother.

If you have any information that could help in finding Nancy Guthrie, contact the FBI immediately at 1-800-CALL-FBI. Or submit information to the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, where they set up a tipline and have an online submission available.

MacKenzie isn’t involved in any extra clubs, but she is excited to join the newspaper because she’s an extrovert who loves meeting people and engaging in gossip. She plays Volleyball here at Sahuaro and enjoys being at the net alongside her teammates. Movies and books are Mackenzie’s favorite media to pass the time; she loves Marvel, Harry Potter, and Star Wars. She considers herself a homebody and much prefers to stay home and watch movies, rather than going out with friends. She lives with only her mom but makes time to visit her siblings, considering them her greatest quality in life.

MacKenzie enjoys taking monthly trips to Los Angeles with her mother. They often visit Disneyland and Universal Studios Hollywood. She frequently photographs her trips to share with friends and family on social media. MacKenzie’s favorite thing about her trips is the number of people she meets, including stunt actors, who have inspired her to explore that line of work. Although school is not MacKenzie’s favorite thing, she appreciates getting out of the house and is ready to quickly close this chapter and begin a new one in California. She intends on moving to Los Angeles , California, sometime after graduation, where she will take a gap year to save up money. With the money, she plans to attend a community college where she’ll major in Sports Medicine, and then she’ll see where the wind takes her!
