Mother of NBC's Savannah Guthrie Missing in Arizona
Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of NBC's 'Today' show co-host Savannah Guthrie, was last seen on January 31 at her Arizona residence before disappearing under mysterious circumstances. The Guthrie family has issued a public plea for assistance, urging anyone with information to come forward immediately.
Timing Coincides with Epstein Document Release
The disappearance occurs amid significant developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case. The U.S. Department of Justice recently released millions of pages of documents related to the convicted sex offender, sparking widespread public interest and speculation.
Social media platforms have become flooded with theories connecting Nancy Guthrie's disappearance to her daughter's journalistic work on Epstein. Many users are suggesting potential retaliation for Savannah Guthrie's extensive reporting on Epstein's victims and survivors.
Savannah Guthrie's Groundbreaking Epstein Coverage
Before becoming part of a missing person case herself, Savannah Guthrie played a pivotal role in amplifying the voices of Epstein's victims. In September 2019, she conducted a series of exclusive interviews with women who were sexually abused and trafficked by Epstein and his associates.
One of Guthrie's most significant interviews featured Virginia Giuffre in her first televised interview. During this emotional conversation, Giuffre detailed the abuse she endured when forced into sexual encounters with Epstein and other powerful figures.
The interview series, which occurred shortly after Epstein's reported suicide in prison on August 10, 2019, also included conversations with other survivors including:
- Anouska De Georgiou
- Rachel Benavidez
- Jennifer Araoz
- Marijke Chartouni
- Chauntae Davies
Social media users have noted this connection, with one X user commenting: "I hadn't realized that the journalist whose mother disappeared, Savannah Guthrie, interviewed all those Epstein victims."
Additional Connections Through Guthrie's Husband
The latest Epstein document release on January 30 has revealed another potential link through Savannah Guthrie's husband, Michael Feldman. Feldman helped found The Glover Park Group in 2001, a prominent Washington D.C. public affairs firm.
According to social media analysis, Feldman's firm has connections to high-profile political figures including former President Bill Clinton and former Vice President Al Gore. One X user wrote: "Samantha Guthrie's husband, Michael Feldman, founder of Glover Park Group... is directly tied to huge global political influence firms named in EPSTEIN FILES."
The recently released documents mention Feldman's firm in correspondence involving Larry Summers, suggesting Epstein communicated with someone at The Glover Park Group. The documents indicate the firm assisted both Clinton and General Petraeus.
Epstein Files Reference Guthrie's Interviews
An email exchange within the Epstein documents, with names and addresses redacted, discusses an NBC Dateline interview with survivors. One email states: "Below is the list of those we know of who were interviewed for Dateline," followed by redacted names.
A subsequent email provides specific details about comments made by an interviewee during a separate interview with Savannah Guthrie, reading: "Just wanted to give you a heads-up, she has done another interview with Savannah Guthrie, in which she said the following."
Investigation Continues Amid Unverified Ransom Note
While none of these connections have been officially confirmed, the investigation into Nancy Guthrie's disappearance continues to develop. Recently, U.S. tabloid TMZ reported receiving an unverified ransom note related to the case, though authorities have not confirmed its authenticity.
The timing of the disappearance, coinciding with the Epstein document release, has created a complex web of speculation and concern. As the search for Nancy Guthrie continues, the intersection of high-profile journalism, political connections, and true crime investigation has captured national attention.
