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

Interesting he had the same outfit both times. Indicates this was planned and he had an "abduction costume" he planned to use.

Maybe someone in that fairly immediate area to be there on two different times. I think it was said the night before but am not positive of that date.

This takes me back to my original theory. This is likely a neighbor's teenage son. NG's body is probably not that far from her house.

This does not look like a teenager to me.

I have a question for the sleuthers. Let’s just pretend for a moment that there is NO ransom ( faux or real)

If we look at this from the angle that there is nothing else known other than NG last seen approximate timeline, potential POIs raids , recovered Nest doorbell video, and the immediate family being publicly cleared …. What do you see, believe, or feel? Take away motive… what’s the intent?

I get the impression of a young neighbor or worker who had reason to try and silence her and/or rob her. A prankish, delusional attempt from young people.
[But for me, the Bitcoin requests also fit in with that as part of the plan, albeit done tardily]

he definitely has a slopped shoulder on the left side. Indicates perhaps a knee surgery, spinal surgery or even a shoulder surgery. I've had all 3 and my whole frame is off .. even causing my diaphram to shift. His body alignment looks to me like it is misaligned.

 

[TIGER0822]

It looks to be to me.

Hard to tell, but specially as he is wearing different jackets I think.

I wonder why this information is just being released now?

 

[Van Helsing]

That's a take. But here the local dynamics are a bit more specific and have nothing to do with the "decorum" of a figure head.

Are you familiar with the little experience the Pima County SD currently has after a recent mass exodus. More than half of its deputies are probationary (1st year) and the majority of it's Detectives are Det. 1s. It is a very green dept. in the rank and file.

And I am sure you are familiar with the elected Sheriff's controversies and his past investigation by the FBI who he has years ago publicly called out (since they cost him an election and nearly ended his career). That's the same agency he now has to work with and many past experienced Pima County cops have said he has an ego driven grudge and won't play nice with them based on this personal matter.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster!

I wonder if long strides would show a limp? Perhaps FBI has even more video

The release of this info leads me to believe that they have nothing concrete and are hoping this leads to something new

 

[sleeptoker]

I'm feeling so lost on what to think/feel about this case right now. You all MUST be as frustrated as I am. And angry. I'm actually ANGRY that they didn't confirm this sooner.

 

[cathathorse]

Because I was just reading ABC7 News report and it said "one theory" ..and no comment from fbi and sheriff ....so would David Muir and big ABC be silly enough to say that stuff? The FBI will now have to comment IMHO

ABC would have impeccable sources in the FBI.

Hard to tell, but specially as he is wearing different jackets I think.

It is hard to tell, they kind of look like the same jacket but then again they do kind of look different. I even thought the shoes might look a little different, but with the light, I cannot really tell.

Yes see the bright moon in the second pic but not the other

Makes sense why they would say it’s from the same night initially. I wonder why they’re confirming it’s from different nights now.

Because it serves a purpose

Notice: AI Usage (because this is what it's good at!)

I requested Claude.ai to compare moon phase and cloud cover for January, 2026.

Notes:
BRIGHT nights: Jan 2, 9, 10, 30, 31, and Feb 1
DARK nights: Jan 7, 17–24, and Jan 28

Data sources:
Cloud cover: Historical Weather API | Open-Meteo.com
Moon phase: Python library astropy




As always, this must be double-checked with the data and corroborated with other sources.

I changed the shading on this picture to silver tone. You can see how different the jackets look. To me it looks like the jacket on the left is camouflage, and the jacket on the right is 3/4 zip. ? JMO

If this is true then Google has a heck of a lot more video stored than what’s been suggested or that they even claim to hold if you don’t have a subscription.

I wonder why this information is just being released now?

Could be possible they think they know who it is and are trying to turn the pressure up on him.

I’m convinced this was leaked intentionally and for a specific purpose.

They want him to think about what else they might have on him. moo

The masked man who is suspected of the abduction of Nancy Guthrie appears to have been at her front door earlier than Feb. 1, the night police believe she was kidnapped, sources familiar with the investigation told ABC News.

The image the FBI released of the suspect at her front door, without a backpack, was captured by her Nest doorbell camera on a day before the suspected abduction, the sources said.

This could explain the different type of shoes but I know he didn't grow a foot or more and lose 15 pounds overnight.
