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

[white rabbit]

a websleuther determined the height about 200 pages ago so...way to go LE (eye roll).

possibly a stupid question but why hasn't the family thrown money into the 'ransom/bitcoin' ask? we know SG at least has the money. and she herself two/three videos ago said "we will pay"...so why not throw some spaghetti money on the wall and see what sticks?

another websleuther said we would all do ANYTHING to get our loved one saved/home/discovered. so why hasn't the guthrie family thrown so much as a dollar at bitcoin/offshore account?/anything these alleged kidnappers have asked for?

my answer - because these are bogus claims/distractions. curious as to what others think.

 

[Momtoapug]

That is really odd, imo. LE might want to look into that.

Oh wow, interesting. I’ve never heard of Google Explore. Does it only capture searches that were specifically made in google? What about other search engines?

 

[Cassie P]

She had her roof resurfaced or painted recently, IIRC

Would roofers tend to use a small mouth flashlight? Or anyone associated with a roofing project? Or people installing outdoor roof cameras?

 

[MassGuy]

I’m shocked! SHOCKED!! Well not that shocked….

I’ve been so annoyed by that damn thing. Nothing matched.

I dont think it ever was a kidnapping, I think it was a staged kidnapping to hide a murder.

I totally agree.

Yeah, there could be an innocent explaination for his behavior. Been there done that.

Planning to go through a gate but it's locked and needs to go another direction.

Video looks like it's from a business or apartment complex.

 

[unresolvedmystery]

Yeah, it was obvious it wasn't the same person.

No beard/facial hair and they walked different to lantana man

 

[Cassie P]

Someone knows who the Lantana man is, it’s just a matter of time before they report it. Could be someone he lives with, interacts with etc., as an example. They’re going to think about his height, backpack (maybe) and where he was that night (maybe the next day or two also).

$100K tends to focus the mind.

Oh wow, interesting. I’ve never heard of Google Explore. Does it only capture searches that were specifically made in google? What about other search engines?

I have a friend who works in a professional field that can be contentious at times. She has set a Google alert to notify her if her name is Googled. I didn’t know you could do that.

 

[LooksSusToMe]

Not that it's a critical point, and it doesn't narrow down the search that much, but Ozark Trail is a Walmart private label, so I don't think you'll find it on Amazon unless someone is re-selling.

Source, Ozark Trail is a registered trademark of Walmart (my screenshot from uspto.gov):

Not necessarily. I looked earlier, and there are some Ozark Trail items sold on Amazon. I couldn’t find the backpack, but it could have been sold there in the past. Just because it’s a private label under Wal-Mart, and is primarily sold exclusively there, it may be sold in certain markets and through via other sellers.

I found Brian's interview of the retired officers very interesting, but I was surprised the one gentleman said firmly that he believes Nancy is alive. If so, that should mean that the ransom notes are real. If people have been sending real ransom notes and being blown off, I would expect them to be angry, frustrated and very anxious to get her off their hands. I would think that's very dangerous for Nancy.

I’ve been so annoyed by that damn thing. Nothing matched.

Yeah honestly it bothers me that these things keep leaking. These are the type of things that should be quickly investigated and cleared without the general public even knowing about.

Makes me wonder if these leads are the best they have. Which leads me to believe we might be here for a while unfortunately.

 

[txsleuth70]

$100K tends to focus the mind.

Yeah, why ask for the bitcoin now when you can get twice that amount with the reward?

 

[Pharmasgirl]

I find this strange as well. One the one hand, they're looking at paying a multi-million dollar ransom. On the other, there is a 50K reward on offer for her return. I'd think I'd go with a few hundred thousand as a motivator for info myself.

5 pm news says reward raised to $100K

 

[diggndeeperstill]

Sorry if duplicate-

Talks of a 2 am search and his reasoning being they may be tracking a device path.

 

[SMK777]

I seem to recall it was the same day that police first responded. Trying to find it.

Thanks .

 

[nhmemorymaker]

I think they blurred his face because he has not been identified as having anything to do with the crime. His presence in the area and the backpacks might just be a coincidence.

I find it odd though there just happened to be a guy casually wandering around the area carrying two backpacks at 2 in the morning...

As always, JMO

The face is as clear as day....
this guy is certainly going to be contacted as to his intent at that gate in the early morning hours. ............
moo.

I wondered the same for the "golden tip" reward money.
Now i understand it may be too much to handle for LE to go through all those tips flooding in already. Imagine if the reward is 1mil

 

[bluevioletfour]

The only problem there is that the Zodiac Killer provided proof of not only who they were but what they had done. This just seems like more scammers and trolls.

Or of BTK and his correspondence with media outlets.
