Savannah Guthrie to Return to Today on April 6
Savannah Guthrie is set to resume Today duties April 6, about two months after her mother Nancy vanished from Tucson on Feb. 1.

Savannah Guthrie, a co-anchor of NBC’s Today , is scheduled to return to the program on April 6, resuming her on-air role while a search continues for her mother, Nancy Guthrie.
The development comes roughly two months after Nancy Guthrie disappeared from her home in Tucson, Arizona. She was last seen on February 1, and investigators have said they suspect she was abducted.
What changed, and what is known so far
Guthrie’s return date sets a clear marker for her professional schedule amid an unresolved case that remains active. No arrests have been announced, and authorities have not reported a confirmed location for Nancy Guthrie.
Investigators have pursued multiple leads, including discarded gloves, DNA evidence, and alleged ransom notes. Despite those avenues, the inquiry has not produced a breakthrough that has led to her recovery.
Family and federal involvement
The Guthrie family has taken visible steps to support the search, including posting appeals on social media. They have also offered a reward of $1 million for information that results in Nancy Guthrie’s return.
Separately, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has offered $100,000 in reward money. The existence of both rewards underscores the scale of the effort and the continued lack of resolution.
Why it matters now
The case has drawn attention because it involves a prominent national television figure returning to a high-profile role while a suspected abduction investigation remains open. For audiences and advertisers, the return restores a familiar anchor presence, while the underlying story continues to generate public interest.
For law enforcement, the public visibility can cut both ways: it may increase tips, but it can also elevate noise around unverified claims. The source material does not specify which agency is leading the investigation, what the alleged notes contained, or whether the DNA evidence has been matched to any individual.
Risks, limits, and what remains unclear
Key details remain unknown, including the circumstances of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance and the basis for the abduction suspicion. The reported leads have not translated into an outcome, and the absence of arrests highlights the uncertainty surrounding the case.
As Guthrie returns to air, the search continues nationwide, but the timeline for any resolution is not stated. The only confirmed dates in the available information are February 1, when Nancy Guthrie was last seen, and April 6, when Savannah Guthrie is expected back on the show.
