In 1975, the property sold for less than $100,000. Today, it is worth nearly $1.1 million, and after 50 years of memories made within its walls, it has become a crime scene.
The Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona, is the house where “Today” anchor Savannah Guthrie spent her childhood.

It is also the last place her 84-year-old mother, Nancy, was seen before she was taken, and the details of the property itself tell a story that is hard to ignore.
Where It All Began
Savannah was born in Melbourne, Australia, in 1971, where her father’s work had taken the family. When they relocated to the U.S. in 1975, she was just a toddler. Her parents chose Tucson — and this house — and that was that.
The one-story home became the setting for everything: Sunday services at Casas Adobes Baptist Church, kite-flying afternoons with her father, and the kind of rooted, unhurried family life Savannah still speaks about with pride
She would go on to attend the University of Arizona before becoming one of America’s most recognizable TV anchors. But the Catalina Foothills home always remained her starting point and Nancy never left it.

The Property by the Numbers
Originally built in 1969, the home sits on a full acre of arid Sonoran Desert land in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood. It measures 3,776 square feet, with five bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms.

The Guthrie family paid $85,000 for it. According to current property records, it is now valued at close to $1.1 million — a figure that reflects both the home’s size and the exclusivity of its surroundings.

She Almost Sold It, Then Changed Her Mind
Property records show Nancy listed the home in 2007 at $950,000, then lowered the asking price to $875,000 by that summer. By October of that year, it was off the market entirely.

She stayed. The house stayed. For nearly 50 years, through loss and change and the quiet passing of time, it remained the one place the Guthrie family always came back to.

A Home Built on Faith and Family
The Guthrie family’s life in that house was deeply shaped by faith. On Sundays, the whole family would spend the entire day at Casas Adobes Baptist Church — Sunday school, morning service, choir practice, and night service.

As Savannah later recalled, “Faith was so woven into our daily lives, we liked to say that God was the sixth member of the Guthrie family.”

Her father, Charles, was the kind of man people gravitated toward. Savannah described him as “a 5,000-watt bulb who could turn a mundane trip to the post office into a rip-roaring tale.”
