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

OK, I don't know if this means anything, but I think it's worth mentioning. The daughter lives close to the mother, so I wanted to get a visual and when I look up the address there's one listed for her and a different one listed for him so I'm not sure if they sold one and moved to the other. Here's pictures for reference. Somebody pleasevhelp me understand how a couple that's been together for 20 years has two different addresses listed for themselves. Just seems kind of strange to me. IMO

rental property?

A few thoughts:

1) IF Savannah and Ashleigh Banfield are REALLY good friends, Ashleigh better be 100% certain about the BIL as a suspect. If it turns out to be untrue, I’d say this is a great way to lose a friendship.

2) Does anyone know where Savannah is staying? I thought I read sister Annie’s house? This would make sense if they have hired security to be there.

3) If it was in fact the BIL, isn’t that a lot to do from 2am until 11am when they were back at NG’s house? Unless both sister & BIL were involved, he’d need to be back home well before anyone wakes up. And, get cleaned up. I’m not sure all of that is feasible.

4) JMO, but I think Nanos needs to simply read from a script and not take questions (at least live). I felt like the police handled it very well in Tepe murders. But, between these off-the-cuff pressers, TMZ/other reported ransoms, plus Banfield adding BIL as suspect, it’s all getting a little crazy. I hope this ends soon for all involved—NG, family and law enforcement.

ya got that right.... I do keep thinking the same thought.

Regarding the car of A & T being towed, wouldn’t we have pictures of this from the media? I can imagine they’re staked out near the daughter’s house as well, especially considering we have pictures of the FBI there. Just taking Banfields comment about car lightly. JMO

My thoughts regarding Banfield’s report… whether you like her or you don’t and whether you trust her or you don’t - it seems she has an awful lot to lose on this one and either she is convinced of the accuracy of her law enforcement source or she just damaged her career beyond repair. Also, while she did say things that might limit her liability - things like may be a prime suspect or family being looked at first - she also titled the video on her YouTube channel as son-in-law “prime suspect” - not possible not alleged. And she says Savannah is a friend and very dear to her - would she make such a public accusation against a family member of a friend or even a former co-worker without a firm conviction that her information was accurate? For ratings or clicks? When that former co-worker is co-anchor of the Today Show?

Another friend of mine (CEO of a security firm), bought an electronic dog that was activated whenever the downstairs door opened...BOW WOW It definitely alerted you! Bought them for all his female friends...

That is really such a nice gesture for his friends.
I have my own... Not electronic, but flesh and blood.

But I know full well, I am much safer with his very strong propensity to bark, and bark.

 

[turaj]

I don’t know that it’s relevant, but I have not heard any mention of the dog. I believe Nancy has a dog. If the back door was in fact wide open, I wonder if the dog was still in the house when family members came to search for Nancy. I wonder this more out of curiosity than relevance. If the family came to the house, and the dog was gone, but leash was still there, that would cause initial concern.

I don't know if this SIL theory has any merit but does explain the family not calling LE immediately upon arrival. I do think if it is SIL that Annie had to be involved. Awful to think about but she knows if he was home all night.

IAttended a safety seminar years back. The 'expert' suggested especially for women living alone: buy the LARGEST dog bowl you can find and put it out front & back your door. Burglars do NOT like dealing with dogs! Works for me

My sister (who lives alone) got some size 14 work boots and running shoes from Goodwill and leaves them outside her door. Gives the impression that a burly man lives there.

 

[turaj]

Yes, a suspect is different than a 'person of interest'. A 'person of interest' can also be someone that might have seen or heard something, a witness with information about the crime. Not necessarily an official suspect.
It can also be someone who later becomes a suspect.

JMO

being the last one to see her puts him for sure in "person of interest" category but something else took it t o next level and caused them to take the car.

I don't live alone, but when someone knocks on the door when I am alone, I shout, "TOM! Someone is at the door!" to give the impression a man is in the house. I also have done that outdoors when I felt like a creep was creeping me - I shouted and waved to nobody in the distance, "TOM! I'm here - I'll be right there!" or something like that - use a big voice even it you feel like a fool.

Disclosure: Tom is my cat's name.

Most likely her birthday..
Birthday was just a couple of days before she was missing.

imo.

Correct. Her birthday was on January 27th.

I had forgotten that nugget, I think it was from a banned source at the time but now it seems like it could be accurate information. The excuse that he went back to check on her is both weak and implicates him.

LE must have a reason not to have arrested him already if that's really his story, because it's a painfully rubbish tale.

Do they think he has her alive somewhere and are hoping to follow him to where she is?

Oh please be alive, Nancy! Please be found!

What was the story on that? What did he say about going back and why? TIA!!!

one possibility here is that AB is accurately relaying something SG said to her, but SG is incorrect in her belief. SG is going to know a lot more than we do, but she's also not a detective and emotionally very involved here.

though of course that's not the only possibility.

Per this NY Post article the NY Times is reporting that SIL was last to see NG. BBM:

"Annie Guthrie and Tommaso Cioni kept a low profile during their drive on Tuesday, in pictures obtained by Page Six.
Savannah’s sibling attempted to cover her face with a pink hoodie while leaving the couple’s Tucson, Ariz., residence.
Annie’s husband similarly pulled his sweatshirt up over his nose and sported a pair of sunglasses.
The duo’s outing marked the first time Nancy’s family members have been spotted since she became the subject of a missing persons investigation.
Cioni was the last person to see Nancy — despite previous reports it was Annie — as he was the one to drop his mother-in-law off at her house around 9:30 p.m. Saturday after dinner, according to the New York Times."

as for DNA that would be tough as SIL no doubt touches lots of things in NG's home.

I don't know about the show-biz reporter's source, but I think AB's source is LE. At least, that is what she said.

The department tells TMZ ... "We have not identified a suspect or person of interest in this case. Detectives continue to speak with anyone who may have had contact with Mrs. Guthrie. We are also awaiting additional forensic results."

They add, "We are not confirming the car being seized, we are unsure where that reporter is getting that information."

This story would need to be a whole lot more complicated if that is true.

We know she left the home around 2:00am based on her pacemaker.

If Annie isn't involved, then her husband dropped her off, came home, then left again in the middle of the night long enough to take her and hide her without his absence getting noticed.

 

[Lebowski]

if the story is true, and SG is leaking it through AB, i hope they both realize that's bad for the investigation, and ultimately bad for NG.

I do that in large cities when travelling alone with my daughter. "There's dad over there" and we just start moving. She is older now but has strict instructions to just roll with whatever I say. (My husband isn't on these trips.)
