‘Today’ Show Increases Security in Response to Suspected Kidnapping of Nancy Guthrie

The Today show studio and the surrounding 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City are now under heightened security following the reported kidnapping of co-host Savannah Guthrie’s mother, Nancy Guthrie.

Sources familiar with the situation have indicated that the increased security at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Plaza, also known as “30 Rock,” is a precautionary measure. It is common for there to be a significant police and private security presence at the location, which is a popular spot for tourists and shoppers in Manhattan.

The abduction incident that has affected the Today show’s Savannah Guthrie has had a profound impact on her colleagues and the production team. In response to this distressing situation, additional security measures have been implemented at the studio until Nancy Guthrie is located.

Nancy Guthrie, aged 84, was reportedly forcibly taken from her residence in Tuscon, Arizona, over the weekend, likely between Saturday night and Sunday morning. The Today show has been covering the developments surrounding Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance through live updates and news segments.

The coverage of this tragic event has delved into the Guthrie family dynamics and the special connection between Savannah Guthrie and her mother. Savannah Guthrie has been absent from the show since the incident, with efforts being made to support her and her family during this challenging time.

Regarding the heightened security at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, The Hollywood Reporter reached out to the New York Police Department for official comment. Inquiries have been made to other television networks to determine if they have also implemented additional security protocols in response to this distressing event and out of concern for their own on-air talent and production staff.
