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

Many of us live in dark communities here as there are observatories around. Also, the area NG lived in is not known for crime.

Studies show that streetlights do not prevent accidents or crime. One such study is at this link: https://jech.bmj.com/content/69/11/1118

We don't have streetlights in Tucson and that's never seemed to have been an issue. Much better for the observatories. Because many houses in wealthier neighborhoods in Tucson are spread apart and set back from the road, the ring cameras don't necessarily capture cars or people on the street.

Since we are allowed to link to Fox- a good summary of the technological sources of evidence.

How tech is being used in Nancy Guthrie disappearance investigation

Investigators are hoping digital clues may break open the investigation into Savannah Guthrie's missing mother Nancy Guthrie, who disappeared from her Arizona home.

www.foxnews.com

I am also wondering if there are fire-tower cameras pointed at this neighborhood that might have seen headlights at that time.

Back when I thought NG was missing from the actual physical church, I asked the question how was she supposed to get there? Who was picking her up? Why didn't that set off the alarm when she didn't answer the door, what with the blood apparent at the house door. Or maybe she was still driving although that doesn't seem likely. So I have the same question: how was she getting to the the friend's house?

Did LEcheck out the Uber drivers, like the one who took her to AG’s home the night of her disappearance.
Nothing against Uber drivers, I’m glad we have them. But I have heard some hair raising stories of rape and robberies with Uber drivers.
After all, they are just people.
My son uses Uber a lot and feels it’s very safe. Of course, he can handle himself I am sure. Me on the other hand? Not so much.

Personally, I was shocked at how people reacted when you said, 'yard worker'. We have gone too far the other way.

thanks for being here!

I have two jobs and two houses and kids and am roughly the same age as TC. I still help out with my moms pool and other things (provided it's equally close). At the very least I'd think he'd come by to manage subs and bids and help with things. I wouldn't leave a health compromised 84 year old to get job estimates and oversee work of contractors, and she supposedly had her entire roof re-sealed, sealing (roof and driveway) is a classic rip off quote scam done by low end contractors (a job that would take a few people and a decent amount of time)

As to her health you don;t think a person with a pacemaker and is on" life sustaining meds" as described by the police and SG is sick??? Yes, she is health compromised and elderly and your own statement points out "SG stressed her fragile health" which is not a ploy but a fact. Her own family described her as an "elderly lady that can't walk more than 50 yards". She's almost 90 with a freakin pacemaker and high blood pressure!

I’m thinking once the workers are set up on a schedule SIL would not need to be involved, unless there was an issue to discuss.

"[NG] was supposed to go to a friend's house on the morning she went missing to watch the church service being streamed online, a source told NBC News. When she didn't arrive, friends notified her family that she was not there."

Well now that makes sense. Now I understand how she could be livestreaming a service, and people would notice her missing. Why did it take so long for this to come out?

It’s always important to keep an open mind when you’re following a criminal investigation, especially when details are scarce, and facts are disputed.

The longer this investigation goes on, the greater the possibility that initial suspicions and theories may be off base.

I’m still leaning a particular way, but it remains entirely possible that other options are in play. Namely, someone on the periphery of Nancy’s circle being involved.

Cases like that aren’t unprecedented. Here are two examples where someone outside the immediate family circle was ultimately responsible:

-Vermont (2024): 82-yr-old Roberta Martin was murdered by her 23-yr-old neighbor. He moved her body into nearby woods and burned/concealed her remains to destroy evidence and buy time before she was found.

-California (Paso Robles, 2018): 62-yr-old Nancy Woodrum was killed by a painter/worker who had access to her property. He transported her body to a remote area and dumped it. She was initially treated as a missing person until he led police to her remains.

She was driving in the day only

Right? The first info was a “church friend” called NG, then AG. In timeline, out of timeline?
Yesterday, MK revealed NG was actually in an in-person church watch group, where she usually went to someone’s home, to watch together, in a small group.

Starkville said:
As one of the people obsessed with the “churchgoer call”, I’m observing the latest explanation with a grain of salt. It answers questions but introduces others (for me, at least), which I won’t get into unless others care to discuss.

Why was all this hidden?
**
Agree. The "churchgoer call" seemed significant to me because if family said that's why they went to NG's house and then there's no record of such a call to them, this is a huge red flag.

Many of us have lots of possible theories about all of us, but the huge question for me is as Starkville said, "Why was all of this hidden?". LE hasn't mentioned it since their first presser, took it off their initial timeline and no information been revealed about any of this. MO

I seen this last week . Has anyone read or heard anything about the business card seen here at NG’s door?

 

[slowpoke]

Why didn't that set off the alarm when she didn't answer the door, what with the blood apparent at the house door. Or maybe she was still driving although that doesn't seem likely. So I have the same question: how was she getting to the the friend's house?

NG still drove, so it could be she was going to drive herself to the friend’s home.

This article said she “sometimes picks up at school and watches” her grandson, so to me that sounds like she still drives.

[SlimPickens]

I still feel like the actual, unredacted 911 call (not the dispatch that they released), would tell us if there was a ransom note on site. I imagine that the 911 caller would've included that info in the call. To my knowledge LE hasn't indicated one way or the other if a ransom note was there, but they did state that it was clearly a crime scene.

JMO.

Not sure if this is an approved "Source" but think it is relevant to the discussion.

Bezalel Eithan Raviv, the CEO and founder of Lionsgate Network — a crypto recovery service with expertise in Blockchain forensics — spoke with Page Six about how the criminal could be traced with the right resources.

“He showed his Achilles to everyone who understands blockchain forensics,” Raviv told Page Six Monday of Guthrie’s alleged abductor.

With his own clients facing fraud, the Israeli tech entrepreneur explained that the strategy is to send a small amount to the crypto wallet to “see where it lands.”

When asked whether he believes there is a possibility that Guthrie is still alive, Raviv, who has reached out to investigators to offer his services, told us he can only hope.

Did an employee , work at both homes ? And that's why both homes are being analysed?

Good question.

 

[SaraSmile]

It’s always important to keep an open mind when you’re following a criminal investigation, especially when details are scarce, and facts are disputed.

The longer this investigation goes on, the greater the possibility that initial suspicions and theories may be off base.

I’m still leaning a particular way, but it remains entirely possible that other options are in play. Namely, someone on the periphery of Nancy’s circle being involved.

Cases like that aren’t unprecedented. Here are two examples where someone outside the immediate family circle was ultimately responsible:

-Vermont (2024): 82-yr-old Roberta Martin was murdered by her 23-yr-old neighbor. He moved her body into nearby woods and burned/concealed her remains to destroy evidence and buy time before she was found.

-California (Paso Robles, 2018): 62-yr-old Nancy Woodrum was killed by a painter/worker who had access to her property. He transported her body to a remote area and dumped it. She was initially treated as a missing person until he led police to her remains.

I hope they find NG’s body soon, per cases noted, finding body was key to solving cases.

Maybe she usually drove herself. She may have been one of the many seniors who avoid driving at night. But both the trip there and the trip back would've been during daytime hours.

This is such a good point. Speaking for myself, I'm questioning my own "really solid" theories now.

Money was not an issue for NG. It is logical to think that for many jobs she had regular staff that did those jobs..pool being one that is often best handled by a professional company. Did TC organize some of this for sure. Did he or AG come over and deal with the small issues..yes for sure. I think there was a lot of back and forth from the two homes and they helped NG. SIL is a full time teacher, parent and apparently member of a band.
