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

[Greenestdays]

Have we talked about the line from Savannah’s video “talk to her and you’ll see” and how that is from Silence of the Lambs. If so, how many pages back am I looking for this discussion?

About 80 at least

I could unfortunately see the suspect trying to discreetly dump Nancy near her own or AG’s house. Trying to make it seem like she’s been there the whole time even if she hasn’t. Seeing it as an easy “out” whether they got the ransom or not.

Too much media and LE presence imo. It would be very bold to do that.

Exactly this. Jmo.

That's very sad

Surely they checked the trunk of her car!!???

The neighborhood got a letter today stating LE were going to be searching a property West of Campbell Ave.

Why alert the neighborhood?

 

[SlimPickens]

This sudden activity just after the letter makes me think that they may have given some clues from the scene to verify themselves and perhaps even provided them with proof of life. Sure is a sudden scurry.

JMO.

Can we be assured that the attic, crawl spaces, inside washer/dryer etc have been thoroughly searched?

we don't have attics in arizona generally.
crawl spaces-those are a possibility. One can hope

 

[Pharmasgirl]

what happened to the drone, who were those two guys who didn't want to be filmed

What happened to Nancy???

 

[SeattleStew]

Wait what?

Why alert the neighborhood?

Road closure

 

[DizzyB]

Anyone know how the letter was distributed to the community?

 

[jillybean51]

The use of the word 'suspect vehicle' at the circle k suggests they always knew a specific vehicle that was involved and didnt want to tip off the perpetrator(s) by giving that information out.

The white van?

 

[avalonisland]

Exactly this. Jmo.

What proof is there that NG was dropped off at home at 9:47pm or so? Anyone who was close to NG could have had access to garage door opener since NG did not drive car night of 1/31/26 but relied on Uber and family.

 

[thefragile7393]

Why alert the neighborhood?

I'd want to know if this was going on in my neighborhood

 

[VicBlazey]

Surely they checked the trunk of her car!!???

My god, you'd hope so wouldn't you!

 

[Cassie P]

Altercation with someone close to NG happened and that someone needed to conceal what that someone did. I don't think randsom notes are related to this someone.

About 80 at least

I was hoping to follow up on this topic and ask some questions but it got buried.
What does the reference mean? I saw the movie so long ago.

 

[Cardgame]

It's such as weird thing to release. Sounds like the media is grasping at straws. Suspcious vehicle at a Circle K. Was it left over night or something? How do they even know if it's connected to the case?

Gas stations frequently have suspicious vehicles because well, there is lots of other crime or whatever....

I'm not in US and can't find print media reference to suspicious vehicles yet.

Have they confirmed *when* the vehicles were sighted?

Edited for spelling

 

[nhmemorymaker]

How about Dan Markel, big conspiracy case, 7 people involved. Stretched out over years.

and still going on.

 

[avalonisland]

Exactly this. Jmo.

I don't think NG ever left Tucson daughter's home night of 1/31/26 if that's where NG ate dinner.

 

[thefragile7393]

Why alert the neighborhood?

why not? I'd like to know what's going on in my neighborhood and why they are seeing unusual activity and why the streets may be blocked off

I don't know what that means. "Same type of secure server" is extremely vague. Was the same brand? Was it the exact some one as in the same serial number? Vague....

"Server" here is not really a physical thing in the same way as a laptop. They're probably referring to the fact that it was sent using the same obfuscation technique as the first email. There must be some trace or identifier in the email (on the backend) aside from the IP address that tells LE how it was sent, and that's what they mean here.

As for why they're being vague about it, my guess is that the answer may be a bit boring to the general public so LE may not think there's much value in sharing it publicly (which very well there might not be). On the other hand, they might not be able to tell specifics from their end, only that it matches what they have from the first message.
