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

I have been thinking the same thing. She has been in the same neighborhood 50 years, is active at church, seems so well liked. I wonder if there are community led searches we haven't heard about?

These are usually very well publicized. I think we’d know.

Is there really no CCTV that could be of any use? I'm not talking about the house, but even like CCTV at key road intersections where cars coming from the direction of the house could be reviewed?

Good point.

This is where I land back on looking inward vs. outward. Back to vehicles, LE now has NG and presumably AG's vehicle in their possession. This comes days after NG is reported missing. At a minimum, I'm comfortable saying these two vehicles are of interest to LE in this investigation. IMO

Fox News Digital has learned that some of Nancy Guthrie’s hired help — like a landscaper, pool cleaner, etc. — are submitting DNA samples. “It's significant because it reveals that they did get some DNA from inside the home or from the collection of evidence at the scene,” says Randy Sutton, a retired Las Vegas police lieutenant and founder of the Wounded Blue. “So now they're going to be comparing that DNA to either eliminate individuals or obtain information about them.”

Does the fact that the Guthrie's gave LE their consent to search their (AG's) home per Brian Entin change anyone's opinion about their speculated involvement?

• The family believes Guthrie is “still out there,” and is asking for the public's help in finding her. In a video on social media yesterday, Savannah Guthrie asked viewers to report anything “strange” to law enforcement. “We are at an hour of desperation, and we need your help,” she said.
• The FBI said yesterday that it is “not aware of any continued communication between the Guthrie family and suspected kidnappers.”

That's funny.. just as I saw a red work truck there in the past 2 months asking if they looked into any Work Orders, etc. Then this was posted. Good to see that there is possibly DNA at the residence.

Snipped

I agree. They called off the searches so fast, imo.

How do they know NG wasn't abducted but then left nearby? Isn't it worth at least community searches? I find that odd....unless they know for sure she is not nearby.

jmo

Exactly!! It almost seemed that LE quickly went to a kidnapping for ransom theory. Surely a boots on the ground search might not only find her, but could find evidence such as a weapon or clothing.

Could be huge. Are they volunteering these DNA samples or are there any warrants?

 

[SMK777]

Something in my gut tells me this will be an unsolved crime. LE seem to be nowhere after well over a week.

It's very disturbing.

They say (article up thread; can't find now) that it doesn't appear to be a kidnapping for ransom, or a robbery.

And yet my own theory shared by others about SIL doesn't seem to be holding up (the church call verification [odd that it hit media right after we were discussing it here for pages]; no apparent signs that they had money issues, etc.

So I am now much less certain of any involvement by SIL. I guess only time will tell.

This has become bizarre.
I agree with you that it is looking like LE don't really have a handle on this in terms of a suspect and that the case may never be solved.

Not good if true:

Federal agents arrived in Tucson last week to an icy welcome amid a harrowing search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of “TODAY” co-host Savannah Guthrie.

She was abducted by force from her home in the Catalina Foothills neighborhood in northern Tucson around 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 1, according to Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos.

Law enforcement sources described a delay in local cooperation with federal investigators — with days going by before they let them into the fold.

Nancy Guthrie latest: Sheriff says search expanded and announces follow up on 'new leads'

The FBI has said that alleged ransom notes have set a final deadline for Nancy Guthrie, the missing mother of NBC “Today” co-host Savannah Guthrie, for 5 p.m. local time Monday.

www.foxnews.com

How sad, what would be their reasoning? Also, “she was abducted by force”, how would they know that? Forced entry, damage to the door as an example, but abducted by force?

Not really. Imagine refusing to consent? Basically impeding the investigation of your own mother's disappearance. What could look more suspicious than that?

 

[TexLil]

I keep thinking about this message posted yesterday from Brian Entin. "New leads" that are bringing an "active presence" to both Guthrie houses.

https://twitter.com/x/status/2021008852385477030

Then we're hearing about DNA testing. Maybe that's related.

MOO

For me, no. I'm also not digging me heels in over this either. However, LE seemed to go in with a purpose. They were not snooping around. It's always better if the homeowner gives consent and steps aside. I believe LE was going in regardless. Maybe not at that moment, but they would have been back with a warrant (assuming they didn't already have one). IMO

I've never thought they were involved so it just reinforces what I'm thinking.

Look, I really think AB was accurately reporting from her source they were looking into SIL but with no warrants, no lengthy interviews that we know of, no wholesale taking of evidence out of the house or hoards of CSI there - there's just nothing indicating they are being seriously looked at right now.

Aww, the same Church services Savannah attended. How they must have enjoyed discussion of the service and its message.

Wonder if they could catch a glimpse of S and family in their pew. What a wonderful connection to have your mom watching your worship service, hearing of church activities during announcements, possibly seeing a grandchild having their turn doing a reading or serving as an acolyte.

More sadness, sigh.


The service was broadcast live from a New York church attended by Savannah Guthrie

Nancy Guthrie was expected at friend’s home, not church on day she vanished: source



Oh, live broadcast?

What time would that be in Tucson?

So what time was the call to A?

No wonder the friend missed Mrs. Guthrie right away, imo.



All imo

Interesting, I’ve been wondering about that. I kinda figured it had to be specific and not in a general/common area but you never know

Choosing TMZ is curious and possibly telling. My gut reaction is that the letter author is younger, like no older than 30. Not entirely excluding a boomer, gen x, or elder millenial but it wasn’t even sent to TMZ and NBC (which would be the more obvious/logical choice), it was sent to a celebrity gossip site that doesn’t have the classiest reputation — why? I mean that’s weird, it just is. Strikes me as teenage behavior honestly (or someone trying to pose as one)

moo

I can follow your logic but there could be other reasons for choosing TMZ in addition to the local stations. TMZ suggested that they were chosen because the sender wanted to know it had been received and the local stations who received it before they did weren’t disclosing it. See the link to the news nation article below.

But also I am not sure that the 2 local stations and TMZ were the only places that it was sent just because they are the only ones that acknowledged they received it. My first thought when it came out was why not send it to NBC or a local NBC affiliate? But maybe they did and maybe NBC chose not to disclose that. How would we know?

And regarding whether sending it to TMZ was from someone under 30…. Well I am considerably over 30 (more than twice that) and well aware that TMZ often talks about things sooner and/or discloses info that news agencies might not.

What we know about the ransom notes in the Nancy Guthrie case

Both TMZ and KOLD representatives said wording in the messages suggests the sender has familiarity with the Tucson area.

She IS still out there but in what condition? Sheriff Nanos stated that it could be fatal for Nancy if she goes without her medication for 24 hours.
The Arizona DPS alert stated that her medication was found in her home.

Does the fact that the Guthrie's gave LE a consent to search their (AG's) home per Brian Entin change anyone's opinion about their speculated involvement?

Doesn't change mine. Do we know who gave consent? Did the person consenting not know the other's involvement? Could be that the perp believes they left zero evidence and not consenting would bring undue suspicion. This is such a high profile case that they may feel compelled to consent. Also, is there evidence it was "consent" or "they let them"? Could a lawyer have recommended consent, knowing there was a warrant anyway?

Just as refusing consent doesn't make you guilty, consenting doesn't make you innocent.

 

[SMK777]

I also find it strange that other than the search by LE, there hasn’t been the big community search teams out every day searching around NG’s house.

True. Why would this be, I wonder?

 

[txsleuth70]

A Fox guest noted this morning that in the case of a missing family member, 80% of the time family or family associate are involved.

Having said that, I am going back to where it was mentioned on this thread that an unknown white van had been in the neighborhood that week.

Thinking is it a simple crime of opportunity by individuals who really don't know how to go about a kidnapping very well. Maybe non American. They simply want bitcoin, money . Smart enough to dismantle cameras and wait to see if police come. But not smart enough to engage directly with family to make the plan work.

And they wouldn't have known NG health condition, unpreared for that. After awhile it's all not worth it to them after all, and we tried to take care of her as best as we could. They uproot and go back to where they are from and NG is simply left to be found by someone. All haphazard.

Dumb and dumber or brilliantly planned. Hmmmm

Agreed. Said as much in two sentences yesterday. This was not planned as a kidnapping. They don't want to off her or would have done so quietly and walked away.
