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

[Moonchime]

This is not a 'rural' area, it is just a nice suburb of Tucson that is in the mountain foothills, and with large desert lots.

Thank you for stating this. I lived in Tucson for 10 years, and this area is not rural. It's still in Tucson, and the area is absolutely beautiful.

Savannah Guthrie Not Attending Winter Olympics, Mary Carillo to Step In for Opening Ceremony

On Feb. 3, an NBC Sports spokesperson confirmed Savannah would no longer be traveling to Milan as she focuses on being with her family.

(I believe we all assumed this. IMO)

I haven't been able to catch up with every post. Do we know if SIL was present during the dinner AND mahjong? Did anyone have the opportunity to prepare the scene (in the darkness of night) BEFORE NG was dropped off at her home?

It was last night pretty late. I saw it in the 11 o’clock hour AZ time.

I saw it pretty late too but wasn’t sure When it came on but don’t understand some of the comments about them hiding their faces but going out in light of the report when it seems the report came out hours after they were seen in the car. Also not sure what time the FBI was at the house meeting with the family and when in relation to that the car was supposedly towed by the FBI. It woulld seem the reporting of this story is as confusing as the story itself.

Just my opinion, but I don’t think Ashley Banfield would fabricate information. She’s been in journalism for decades and has developed far more sources than most reporters.

you're not wrong, but putting that out there without LE being involved isn't good, even if she is correct.

I wonder if anything was cleaned up inside? Draining pipes? Hmm

I thought of that too. To determine whether there was any blood, or bleach in the pipes.

Maybe she was attacked by like one or more Bobcats at her front entryway while opening the front door to get inside. This could explain some blood at entry way inside and outside home plus the smashing of front door cameras. She could have left the apple watch charging when she went to dinner which is why she was not wearing it. The son in law dropped her off after the dinner event 1/31/26 and perhaps he did not walk her inside the home and make sure all was sa fe and secure for her to get to bed. The daughter lived 10 mins away and posted in past about Bobcats at daughter's Tucson property.

I am an AZ native, and we get bobcats in our acre and 1/2 backyard frequently. They are typically there trying to kill our ducks. We have 3 small ponds on property. The bobcats (& even coyotes) typically run off in fear as soon as a human or dog enters the yard. That would be extraordinarily unlikely for a bobcat to attack a human. MOO.

The one thing that gives me pause about them possibly finding her in the septic tank, Is that I believe highly trained scent/cadaver dogs were brought in and used fairly early on. I would certainly expect they would have picked up on a scent leading to that area. Which leads me to believe “if”they are pumping out the septic they are just covering their basis and not likely to find anything. And if that’s the case then i think they might be still in the following all leads process. jmo

You don't have to be a supersleuth to know family is looked at first. So if it was SIL did he really think he would get away with this? Just went home and thought all would be good? Now if he went missing okay I get it but made no attempt to evade LE. Really got me wondering.

 

[auburnmomof2]

I'll just say if my mom was missing I wouldn't be thinking about who's getting photos of me and wouldn't care if I even combed my hair or brushed my teeth that day! My only thought would be my mom... not hiding my identity but that's just me.

Same! I spent a week literally waiting for updates on my dad when he was in the hospital 7 hours away. I couldn't be there and I was a hot mess. However, with the media coverage I could see AG not wanting to be photographed. Because then people will claim she looks rough I'd hate to see the pictures that would show up of me if anyone followed me around taking pictures! Yall would all be trying to figure out why I was making a rbf and analyzing Bottom line is everyone handles things differently i guess.
Where is Nancy?? This case is just bizarre to me

 

[Moonchime]

Maybe the flatbed truck with tank is there to drain septic tank

Wow! That's a possibility. I hadn't thought of that.

 

[Considering]

Has it been confirmed that the blood by the door is NG’s blood? It appears to me that whoever removed the doorbell cam could have injured himself/herself in doing so and the blood could belong to that person.

They always think they will get away with it. WE ALL know that practically never do.

 

[MadCowWisco]

OK, I'm just gonna put this out there. I think the flatbed truck is the distraction. Almost an hour ago this notification was sent out to LE https://www.uscrimeradar.com/m/2283...&_f=app_share&send_time=1770235314&gen_by=ios

I posted pictures for reference. Forgive me if this is not allowed on this thread but I wanted to put it out there. Now there may just be another 80-year-old woman Missing from the same county. IMO I think this is quite a coincidence.

The Pima County Sheriff's Department tells TMZ ... in early January, an elderly man spotted the trespasser at his Tucson home, less than 10 minutes away from 84-year-old Nancy's house. The sheriff's department said the case was forwarded to the unit investigating Nancy's case for possible leads.

TMZ spoke to the elderly man, who says he caught the loiterer in his yard after a motion sensor went off and a floodlight switched on. We're told the light spooked the uninvited guest, who fled on foot before anyone could get a good look at his face. The man noted there was no break-in attempt and nothing was stolen from his yard.

I agree that AG and her husband are in a "damned if you do/damned if you don't" situation. Hide your face? Look suspicious. Show your face? Have folks dissect whether or not you look worried enough.

Sheriff Nanos will not be holding any media availability today. The next scheduled briefing is Thursday, Feb. 5th at 11:00 AM MST.

Hopefully a Police Information Officer (PIO) will be assigned for the PCs and try to streamline the information to avoid misinformation.

Yes you're absolutely correct.
They(LE) work from the inside and move outwards.
