Nancy Guthrie, 84, (mother of TODAY Show host Savannah Guthrie) missing - last seen in the Catalina foothills area on Jan 31, 2026

I would call that across town, myself. Certainly not the same neighborhood.

Where I live, it would not be considered the same neighborhood, However, not being familiar with NG’s neighborhood, it might be considered same neighborhood (the properties are larger in NG’s Neighborhood, so that could make a difference in perception of what qualifies as a ‘neighborhood’). JMO

I wonder if the kidnappers originally thought they would be directly negotiating with the family. Now with the media circus this has become, I won't be surprised if the kidnappers end up abandoning NG and walking away, knowing they are not getting any ransom. If NG is not found very soon after they abandon her, she may not make it.

Then, if the ransom notes are authentic and they didn't want a media circus, maybe they shouldn't have sent the notes to TMZ and other news stations..imo

You may want to remove this as it has been found inaccurate and not put out by LE.

We will probably never know why … horribly unfair. For all of those missing and murdered under mysterious and unsolved circumstances… we stand with you!
I feel like there are SO many cases that information is kept close to the vest and when it comes out it’s far too late! Like the voice clips from Delphi. Why wait? Even this video, it doesn’t give anything away that would jeopardize a case, why wait?

Why January 11th in particular? Very oddly specific ... (ok, original poster removed their message so this is not relevant).

where the perp attained it. Wal-Mart in-store, online, possibly Amazon, or second hand.

Do we know when the backpack was first released?

If it was only recently that would possibly rule out second-hand.

It’s also possible it was gifted to the perp.

This was reportedly put out by a neighbor and NOT by LE. Post should probably state that or be removed.

 

[Baby baby Jane]

no proof of life but they provided some "insider info" about NG's room (like the location of her Apple watch) that only someone who was in that room would know.

Maybe there is some recovered video showing people of interest on the 11th. Casing? Trial run?

I didn’t say anything about removing her pacemaker or tracking it. I was questioning the timeline and lack of publicly released information that she entered the house.

Sorry, I'm an idiot sometimes.

The backpack could be mass-produced and sold under numerous brand names. But if the Ozark Trail logo is on there, it’s exclusively sold at Wal-Mart which narrows down where the perp attained it. Wal-Mart in-store, online, possibly Amazon, or second hand.

I research wardrobe for movies & tv as part of my job. I haven’t researched these photos yet. They creep me out, plus there’s lots of researchers better at it than me. I’m sure they’ve figured it out. It may take awhile to track down the buyers of the backpacks, but it’s a shot.

It could have been pulled out of a lost and found bin at a school or gym, or bought on eBay, Poshmark, Amazon, at a garage sale, a flea market, STOLEN, owned for 10 years... IMO the possibilities are endless.
That said, LE should be looking into nearby places where it could have been bought, especially if they really have very little to go on...

In my neighborhood he would have been posted to the community on FB “Does anyone know this guy that’s trespassing on my property at date/time”

Yes!!! Does anyone know if there is a neighborhood Facebook group for the area?

Thanks I deleted it. I thought it was a more recent legitimate one.

I dunno how they possibly could've thought it would go quietly. Granted I don't think I had a clue who savannah was before (British so only know a few daytime TV names really, savannah isn't a stand out name anyway, says to me she's decent) granted I might've read about her but the names gone over my head.

If the location of the smartwatch was habitual and if the floodlight was damaged days prior to the abduction, there also are 4) people who work at the house.

And anyone to whom any of the four categories of people could've leaked the info.

JMO

True, though less likely especially considering the watch was somewhere most people would not keep one. MOO

is 5+ miles away considered the same neighborhood?

The alert was sent out to all users of the Neighbors App within a two-mile radius of Nancy’s home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood north of Tucson, Arizona.

You have the neighborhood right? If you flick back through my posts, I believe it's somewhere between 1st Mountain Avenue and Sugar Hill neighborhoods.

Would also encourage people asking about location/distance/timing/sources to go back and read previous pages as we have touched on the Ring camera footage of the man with two backpacks already today

And theoretically if this location is correct, and this tabloid has that info, it stands to reason others may as well, which makes the note that much less credible imo.

If the crime scene evidence list and pictures were leaked, it wouldn't take a lot of brains to realize it was worth a lot of money in terms of a secondary crime.

Incorrect info so I’ve deleted it.
Sorry for any confusion!

 

[Baby baby Jane]

As far as I know, nobody has mentioned any proof of life being provided to the family.

No proof - no ransom?
