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

[Leilei]

Depends on your layout. I always preferred to go in through the garage as it's brighter in there than fumbling on my porch in a dim light. Also, we have wild animals, and one never knows if there's a weirdo around, so I prefer to protect myself by entering through my garage and quickly closing the door. I suspect that's the case with Nancy but that's JMO.

That makes sense, especially if her garage door faces the street like the front door does. It might be easier to navigate while using her cane (or walker if she uses one). Again, I've missed a lot because this thread has gotten huge quickly.
Just struck me as strange that she entered through her garage, but the abductor(s) brought her out the front door (as evidenced by the blood found). Her home isn't exactly close to neighbors where they would hear the garage door go up/down, is it?
I'm probably overthinking it.
IMO.

I don't understand this comment. Nancy Guthrie, assuming she's still alive, is an adult who lives alone, drives and is of very sound mind. I don't think it's up to her daughter to "let" her do anything.

I'm not sure she drives now, based on the fact that she took an Uber to her daughter’s house, which is only 10 minutes away.

5 mins is really a short amount of time IMO

Probably saw the blood and the doorbell cam removed and knew something happened!

Could a reporter ask the FBI if any polygraphs have been administered, please.

Also could someone ask what prompted someone from her church to contact a family member, i.e., did family ask someone to check to see if she was in attendance.

Can’t watch right now. But my question is, is this THE ransom sender, or a second one?

second one, the imposter one...still looking into the first one (TMZ one)

 

[browneyes]

Not ruling anyone out....

No suspects either.

The one that got arrested? A second one.

 

[letsgostate05]

More from the FBI agent, less from the sheriff please

just a small correction, i believe at 2:12 it was some type of movement detected but don't know if it was necessarily a person. Someone asked if it could've been an animal and Nanos said it very well could've been

moo

This is what the sheriff said about that (I was typing while he was talking)
"2:12am software detects person on camera but no video available. no subscription"

The FBI has just announced a $50,000 reward for the recovery of Nancy Guthrie and/or the arrest and conviction of those involved

The FBI stated the reward is for the "recovery" of Nancy Guthrie. Is this an indication that they do not believe that she is alive? I unfortunately do not believe that she has survived unless she is being well cared for. From the blood on the walkway, there is some reason that she was bleeding...

ETA: I was surprised that he didn't state "rescue or recovery."

Just my opinion.

Sounds like there are multiple senders, at least one was arrested, and they are filing a complain to the magistrate later today. They clearly aren't ruling out at least one note though.

some of these questions are stupid MOO

So the family called 911 within 5 minutes instead of an hour like previously thought. It is certainly reassuring that they saw quickly that something was wrong and called law enforcement. Yes, 5 minutes is still a long time, but between the shock/denial and scrambling around looking for her, that is reasonable, IMO.

I wonder if family found a ransom note at that time and panic'd between themselves on whether to call authorities. I suppose everything will come out in due time.

JMO.

5 minutes is far from a long time. JMO .

 

[Alkali13]

I am wondering if the intruder got in thru the open garage door when NG returned home from dinner. Laid in wait in garage for her to go to bed, and then crept into the house after she was settled for the night. Just speculation

Ugh, having Jennifer Farber Dulos flashbacks.

IMO.

Garage doors can be very loud and noticeable at 2am. Seems rational to me.

it seems like over the decades there aren't many who ask hard questions anymore

 

[Zeta74]

My FIL is 85 and super tech savvy and with it. He would NEVER let us drive him around and he Ubers all the time. He’s very proud and a bit feisty. I don’t think you can judge any child’s relationship with their elderly relatives - NG isn’t AG’s child.

I'm not sure she drives now, based on the fact that she took an Uber to her daughter’s house, which is only 10 minutes away.

She may not drive at night and knew she was coming home after dark. My mom doesn't like to drive at night either at this stage of her life.

Inadmissible in court and too easy to maniplate.
