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

[Rain on my Parade]

Curious about food delivery’s to her home? Has this been looked into; anyone know?
Also, C looks like he is holding back and or has something to hide in video.

Just wondering... Has the person whose name has been bandied about by certain news sources actually been specifically excluded as a suspect, or have police statements on this subject merely been denials that any information regarding suspects has been released?

No one has been specifically excluded.

The sheriff said something interesting today. He said something to the effect of there are no persons of interest or suspects, but then qualified that by saying “no prime suspects.”

In the context of those reports, they were in reference to what would be a “prime suspect.”

But at the same time, you’re not going to tip a prime suspect off by telling them you have a prime suspect.

All that to say, no fricken clue what’s really going on.

This is so intricately planned;

1 - why do this when she’s expected at church? Just wait a night
2 - why not wait until Savannah is in Italy? Again, just wait a night

Her disappearance could have begun as an accident or spontaneous event that occurred, and then the "ransom note" business was concocted as a cover story while the true events were covered up.

Can a computer history be hacked by the FBI tech team without a warrant, and if only by warrant would the computer owner be aware?

TMZ reveals threat made in Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy’s ‘ransom note’ if first deadline isn’t met – and dire warning about second

Published Feb. 5, 2026, 4:17 p.m. ET

The first deadline in the purported ransom note for Nancy Guthrie’s return would trigger, if missed, a change in demand, according to TMZ – who received a copy of the letter.

Law enforcement officials in Pima County confirmed at a Thursday press conference that the note “made a demand” for 5 p.m. local time with a “second demand” set for Feb. 9.

TMZ, one of the outlets that obtained the ransom note demanding millions of dollars in bitcoin for Nancy’s safe return, reported that the “demand” would change if Thursday’s deadline isn’t met.

If the supposed ransom isn’t fulfilled by Monday, then there will be “a more serious consequence,” the outlet reported.

TMZ reveals threat made in Savannah Guthrie’s mom Nancy’s ‘ransom note’ if first deadline isn’t met – and dire warning about second

If the initial deadlines are not met, what is the next card to play? Her health, and their bargaining chip, reduces everyday.

Proof of life must continue throughout the process.

How do you "safely" communicate? This must be harder when the FBI is already involved and monitoring all communication avenues.

This is such a terrible situation for what? Money? Ego?

Okay, my dad is military too, and I can totally see him giving off the exact same presence as CG. I'm sure the last thing he wants is to be sitting around on camera giving the media more reason to pick them all apart and would rather be doing something more "productive", if you will. I think if he was holding back anything, it was a mixture of frustration and annoyance. JMO!!!

Think about what they were specific about and what they weren't, what they gave to us and what they didn't. They didn't need to tell us at all about the Uber driver. No one was even wondering about how she got to her daughter's house! This was them giving us something and even implying they cleared him/her. Then they don't include something in the timeline that always seemed to be - that someone from church notified family NG wasn't at church. Why NOT include this? Then they don't identify who brought her home from her daughter's. Very strategic in leading our attention, possibly distracting from things they don't want us to focus on, giving us something new (the Uber trip) so we may not feel they were holding back (like who notified the family in the first place?). Did anyone notify the family at all?

It seems to me the things they included in the timeline are those related to activity at the house alone:

Nancy's coming and goings, camera/door activity, and family arrival.

Yes, they did not include church info, but they also didn't include game night specifics/time line stuff either (who else was there, etc)

When they dropped NG off after dinner, did Annie and/or SIL just sit in the car and watch NG go through the garage door?

Did they sit in the car and watch her enter the garage, and when the garage door closed they left?

Anyone have a theory as to why/how the floodlight was broken? I would imagine if the perp wanted to conceal the porch in darkness they would just unscrew the lightbulb, not break it?

Yes. Exactly, IMO .

They’d just download any devices directly. No reason to do anything like that.

A possibility from what we saw yesterday (agent carrying a cellebrite unit into AC and TC’s hime), is that their phones were downloaded for a second time (especially TC’s).

This would tell them about his activity from say day one, and after those ransom demands.

 

[CandyKiss]

I'm curious about NG's neighbor; his motion detector went off and he found a male intruder in his back yard that took off. I haven't heard anything about this in a day...
.

 

[katydid23]

They say they have 'no suspects' at this time.

But didnt they also say that they have not cleared everyone also?

I'd think they could have cleared SIL already. He should have solid alibi and proof he was not at her home at 2 am. Right?

2 - why not wait until Savannah is in Italy? Again, just wait a night

1. May be work related. She disappeared Sat night/Sun morning. You might not want to do it Sun night/Mon morning if you have to be at work Monday morning. Things could happen that might make getting to work not viable.

2. SG being in Italy doesn't seem to matter. She lives far from AZ anyway.

JMO.

Where was it placed, exactly? Maybe the idea was to quickly get rid of the light for the camera at the door?

If this is the case, the perp must be using the largest excavator in the world to dig this hole they will not get out of.

What about burner phones?

It is unknown

JMO
