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

BINGO!!! I just did a search and found this..

2009, Fox News fired entertainment columnist Roger Friedman shortly after he was photographed with Today show anchor Savanna Guthrie and her mother, Nancy, at the show's set. There is no recent, widely reported direct professional connection between them; recent news focuses on Guthrie's upcoming 2026 vocal surgery and a family emergency regarding her mother

So theres a connection between the Showbiz 411 guy and Savannah and she could have tipped him off.

Am I the only one surprised media camera's are going right up to her door and zooming in on blood drops and where the nest camera was? Why is her house not taped off? Brian Entin said it is no longer a crime scene but how can that possibly be. I understand FBI/LE took their crime scene photographs and samples but, still, we don't need people walking all over her property while this poor woman is still missing.

I think of the dreadful college murders in Idaho and, just like this case, obviously had huge media attention with media trucks camped out, day and night. And in Moscow they had the bodies, removed them and it still was taped off immediately.

I just find it appalling, honestly.

Because…as you said…it’s not longer a crime scene. That’s it.

Anyone giving a ransom note if they have any brains would know that you have to prove the person is alive before collecting. I keep thinking of the Fargo movie. Not sure how anyone can pull that off unless the ransom is just a distraction to the real killer. I hope thats not the case

Fargo Movie - lol loved that movie and excellent reference

I can watch it every year and not grow tired of it. One of the best acted and creepy movies ever made.

Some speculated more than one person was involved and I'm now leaning that way too. Speculation only.

Found lots on him with a google search. There are a few with his name. Found that poetry thing which was weird. They must have been together awhile bc the photo of SGs sister was when she was much younger-should have taken screenshots of the instragram etc bc now they are probably down. Well maybe not bc that would look suspect.

So interesting, because looking at family photographs on facebook I felt the opposite. But social media can be deceptive, I know.

From same, it appears they have been married twenty years this year.

The way it is worded is:

" Sources say the last person who saw Nancy alive on Saturday night was her other daughter’s husband, her son-in-law, who checked in on her. He is absolutely not a suspect.

When police responded to a 911 call the next morning, they found Nancy’s house to be pristine. All of her personal belongings were in place, including her phone and her handbag.

That’s what led the police to realize this was an abduction."

This is conflicting information to what we now believe: cameras smashed, blood outside and inside.

IMO just because they said BIL wasn't a suspect doesn't mean he isn't a suspect...

It's unusual for a show-biz reporter who isn't known outside of that niche, imo, and who doesn't cover crime to have a significant detail about a crime and ongoing investigation. The skepticism about his reporting is to be expected, imo.

Theres a story about a photo he took with Savannah and her mother -I’m looking for that photo.

Why would he be fired for that? Rival TV shows?

I'm not skeptical anymore, fwiw. I think he reported info that seems to be correct, at least it seems so atm.

Social media -yes deceptive. Its all an illusion,

I agree - I think it’ll be abit like what happened with Moniques family they stayed very quiet as they knew exactly what had happened and who was likely responsible from day one.

I think Savannah not doing a plea probably suggests this will be the case here.

Yesterday when the FBI went to Annie’s house, Savannah's security team was in the driveway, so I’m thinking she was still there, how unsettling that must have been for her. Why did the FBI go to her house rather than have her/husband come to the police station? Were they there to get evidence, if so, what? Did either of them have any scratches or bruises (from NG fighting back or removing the camera's)? I did find more details about the SIL, he’s a 5th grade science teacher and it looks like they have 1-2 children.

Piracy-there was a lawsuit. Maybe no connection to SG as far as firing…that was AI when I put both their names on Google.


PS this is another comment from Roger Friedman in the next article article (mentioning the ransom note -Didn’t want to post the link but you can find it yourself) on Monday…

“Everyone is praying that Nancy is going to survive this episode. I’ve known Savannah for twenty years, she’s one of the great people in media and everywhere. This is a nightmare certainly for her and her family.”

So yes, I’d think Savannah gave Roger the info.

Exactly but they got the rumor out and maybe protected themselves against a defamation lawsuit from TC if it turned out that he wasn't the last to see her and he did not check on her?
imo

Nancy's home is registered to her revocable trust. In the event of her death, the beneficiaries of the trust may have access to her assets immediately. This could be a powerful motive. On the other hand- I doubt the BIL is named in the trust, rather his spouse.

There's a former crime scene investigator with an account on TikTok who discusses the blood outside the house here:

Anyone else feel like because of who the family is that if someone in the family is involved they might think le wouldn’t think the family was involved? I do. Imo moo

Interesting developments. The time Nancy (84 years old) was reportedly dropped off 9:45 PM was bothering me. Not that grandma can't be out that late, but it seems out of place to me and not the norm. IMO

Me too. I agree. But that’s coming from someone who goes to bed at 8:30pm and gets up between 1:30a-2:30am every day

Maybe she took naps during the day. As many seniors do.
