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

Maybe, or the ability to entice fear? If the same horrific situation was occurring to someone else in Arizona, to another 84-year-old woman, living in a similar situation I’m not sure it would garner this much attention or that this thread would be so large and fast moving? I think so many of us are obviously engaged because this 84-year-old woman is the mother of SG. Also I feel NG’s life, health and living circumstances have a similarity to that of our own family members and even ourselves. I think the motivation is less about money and more about attention and distraction.

You are right, there are people going missing every single day, even children, having Savannah as a daughter has gotten the case more attention. It is just how it goes, especially when tmz has to be so greedy to break news

Convenience Store.

The blood droplets could have been present earlier than 2/1/26. The fact that flower debris on porch shows to me that little maintenance on keepting front door area clean.

That occurred to me, as well. The blood could have been left days prior. The assumption is being made that it's related to the events of the night Mrs Guthrie disappeared but that does not make it so.

My opinion only.

Just reported on evening news MPLS about a 2nd note. Trying to compare with the other. ALSO lead on a car or TWO at a gas station so PD was on the way. Has anyone else heard this new(?) info??

Sorry overlapping new info!

The issue is that AI is fed so much information that it can mimic human writing very easily. A lot of AI checkers can be quite redundant due to this and the advancements AI is making every single day. In my last year of university, this was an issue with many students and they couldn't prove it either way. It's frustrating and quite scary moving forward...jmo

IMO, writing from LLMs is still so obvious compared to human writing. There are lots of tells beyond the apparent. I would be extremely surprised if an FBI analyst did not recognize LLM writing. Videos are getting quite good, though.

Seriously tho, if Nancy is there why didn't they find her before when they searched with dogs, etc? That would be so awful if she was there all along

What is the Circle K, please?

It's a gas station chain.

Two agents just carried a black box into the garage

I was talking about twists and turns, but this thread is among the fastest I’ve seen too.

This one emotionally grabs a lot of people, from the unprecedented crime, victimology, her being the mother of a famous woman, and this being straight out of Hollywood.

Yeah.. I feel as if we all feel Nancy is our mother too. And Savannah is everyone's sister....

NBC just reported a suspect vehicle was at the Circle K

"Strange things are afoot at the Circle K"
Trying to break the tension a little.

Maybe I missed it being discussed here but there are reports that a white van was seen in the area and reported by a neighbor of Nancy's in the days leading up to her disappearance.

Savannah Guthrie's Mom's Neighbor Reported Unmarked White Van on Their Street to Police Days Before Nancy Went Missing

Nancy Guthrie's neighbor reported suspicious activity on their street just days before she disappeared. Brett McIntire, who lives across the street from Savannah Guthrie's missing mother, revealed in a new interview that he recently called the police after noticing an unmarked van parked on...

www.aol.com

it's great neighbor reported seeing white van days before crime and parked on street. I see not related to NG crime. In my opinion this was an intimate, someone victim knew crime. Like who is going to want to take on the burden of kidnapping an 84 year old woman with heart condition, in constant pain, mobility issues which walker and potential wheelchair needed, requiring daily meds for survival? This was someone the victim knew and something went bad night of 1/31/26 that caused crime 2/1/26

I would think it was a network drone, and police may have ordered it down.

So the drones have to register so police know what network it is and if they don't take it down the police will shoot it down?

It does happen quite often that a body is located just feet away from the last known location despite searchers, human and canine.

I’ve followed some unprecedented cases on here (idaho4, Jayme closs, Luigi) but this one takes the cake.

Wildest one I’ve ever followed, and it’s not even close.

Coming from you, that's quite a statement!

I'm starting to lose hope Nancy Guthrie is still alive.

Well, I do keep saying/thinking it is the fastest moving thread I have seen here on WS, but I have not been on the site for all that many years..
@MassGuy ... do you sense that as well..... the lightening speed, and the amount of posting activity since thread initiation??? Or are you actually referencing the twists and turns

I will say, at certain times, Jennifer Dulos moved FAST. Especially when Fotis attempted suicide and there was live footage of LE performing CPR.

Circle K is a gas station grocery store.

There has to be many ways into Mexico around there they can't block every inch of the border? Could she be over the border?

There are people on both sides. Some are great, some are negligent.

Not only US/Mexico. We traveled between Argentina and Brazil. Would anyone guess what border patrol was careless, and what was very attentive?

And at the press conference yesterday, the Sheriff stated that they have been checking with pharmacies to see if any of NG's prescription medicines have been refilled. So it seems to me that LE know that her prescription medicines were left behind.

Well, it means that they are careful and mindful.

However, a lot depends on what medication Nancy takes. With newer ones (e.g., Xarelto or Eliquis), as there is no need to do standard coagulation tests, someone can “borrow” a similar drug from a grandparent. LE need to check a little bit more, someone running out of their meds earlier or suddenly ordering 3-months supply. JMO.

Lots of patterns can be changed in the situation when a person is abducted. Even if it is a business.
