  • Savannah Guthrie Returns To Today & Samantha Murphy Case Update
    Apr 6 2026

    The very last time Samantha Murphy’s family can verify she was alive was around 7am on the morning of February 4, 2024.

    There’s an image from a CCTV camera that police released of the 51-year-old, in the activewear she would usually put on ahead of her run. But while that image might be the last time we were able to confirm that she was okay, it’s allegedly not the last time she was seen.

    Tomorrow, the trial begins for the man accused of murdering Samantha Murphy. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
