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

If the church service started at 10:45, I assume that whomever made the call to AG stayed at the services, which probably lasted until at least noon. I don't think that NG's absence would cause so much concern that this person would up and leave the church services to go check on her. I would think that around noon or so this person might have again reached out to AG to make sure NG was okay. Will they release the 911 call at some point?

Is the press conference a distraction so that law-enforcement can accomplish something without everybody watching?

I may be reading too much in to this, but I find it curious that Craig Melvin (SG's co-host) will not be going to Milan to cover the Olympics. The most realistic assumption is that he is staying stateside in solidarity with SG... but that seems odd to me. There has been no mention as to why he's staying, just they they had to shuffle things around. Does he feel unsafe or concerned for people in his circle?

I would guess that the planned co hosts worked well together and the station wants the replacement co hosts to have a similar working relationship.

Is the press conference still at 1pm Eastern?

Thanks.

The biggest thing was the whole "snatched from her bed" thing that the media ran wild with. He later walked that back, saying that he didn't mean that literally (he even referenced the mess that caused prior to a particular presser).

He was also late in shooting down the rumors regarding Savanah's sister and brother in law, allowing them to take hold for many hours before responding.

He's gotten better as time has gone on, but it was a rocky start.

Thanks Mass!

Speaking of pressers, sometimes we expect too much from them.

Just under 20 minutes from now

I'm sure it'll be streamed on many sites, here's one --

CNN announced they will carry it as well.

That's a U.S Army Lakota which the national guard uses. It definitely is searching for something in the area. I'd imagine the state asked for their help because the camera on UH-72s are extremely powerful and can see for miles out.

Oh dear.

I suspect that he is overwhelmed by this bizarre case

This has been scheduled for a while, so I doubt it. During his last one (two days ago) he said it would be holding one today. The time was the only thing up in the air, but that’s been pretty consistent too.

yes

Would like to see a local source if possible

doubtful. People are still going to be watching

They talk more about the letter they received. The letter described certain characteristics about an item (s). They say the items mentioned are correct according to the information they have and it may mean they do have Nancy.

It also said 'not to talk', which is not what the family did. Interesting.

Harvey said it's odd that they emailed it 3 days after she was abducted. (but I would counter that argument with, because no one else was responding to them IMO)

Looming deadline. 2 deadlines.

There are many. Here is a local live news feed: 12News KPNX (Phoenix)

I think that it is also going to be played on the link above.

An elderly person living alone in a relatively isolated, and dark location is an easy target.

Absolutely. I think we have seen a few cases where elderly people are targeted by home invaders or someone who knows them.

There is plenty.

- Her husband was the last person to see NG at the home (possibly with AG in the car)
- AG received the call that mom didn’t go to church, but mom might have attended virtually
- AG went to the house and took an hour to call police, despite blood being in the house and the camera being gone
- As someone else pointed out, AG read that statement like a eulogy

I also don’t think a 30-40 YO man would call it “bitcoin”. That sounds like something a 50+-YO woman or offshore scammer would use. And I don’t think an offshore scammer would have the means to kidnap NG.

I'm firmly on the fence. But, I agree with this; based on what we know right now, a reasonable argument could be made for either family involvement or stranger involvement.
