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

I think this former Navy SEAL commander/hostage negotiator is insightful. Says person is not negotiating in good faith, has shown propensity for violence (NG's blood at front door), and that you basically can't pay without proof of life.

The Navy Seal Commander is correct. In addition to that the family should discuss with a Doctor the chances of NG living this long with out prescribed medication.

When is the last time in modern history with current technology that a kidnapper returned an alive hostage for ransom after 6+ days? Returning a person is the biggest possible risk you can take. As soon as you release her you would be caught.

i read that electrical work had been done since a real estate listing was posted in 2024.

What real estate listing are we talking about here??

although I don't believe we've heard whether or not her medication is missing or still in the home.

 

[Alkali13]

I'm sorry.. I can't keep up tonight and read everything right now...

They are saying they found a camera? Is it possible it's one from the front door or back door? And they threw it up there? or out back?

Thanks guys!

They took something down from the side of the guesthouse. We are speculating it was a solar powered camera.

Thank you so much!!!!!!

Scary version? They don't belong to LE or NG

I had the same thought.

 

[gammagirl]

What real estate listing are we talking about here??

i will look for it. According to the article NG's property was listed in 2024, taken down, electrical work done since then...Message 2493 on this thread!! Or at least the NG thread. It was from Realtor.com

 

[JoeFromLB]

I find myself wondering if NG was targeted in order to get our undivided attention. The perp has something to say and is using SG to convey it - has NG somewhere safe and sound, but has specific demands that must be met. I do not think it is $$$ but rather something that will have to be granted by our govt…? military…? perhaps?
The video plea from the Guthrie siblings seems so scripted, as though they were required to include certain phrases. The AB exclusive may have been a requirement- as a decoy or red herring… I realize this is crazy, but I can’t stop wondering. So far this seems to be completely controlled and directed by the perp(s). We have not been told what the “consequences” are if Monday deadline is not met. We have assumed it is harm towards NG, but may be something else.
My speculation only.

I'm wondering if the cartels are involved in this abduction. President Trump some time ago designated the cartels a terror organization and promised action to stop them.
Interesting to me that he seems to be personally involved in the investigation.
Perhaps the abduction is a message to the administration to back off?
I know, grasping at straws here, but this thing doesn't make much sense.

 

[NavySubMom]

If it's that interesting, I'm sure it will be covered somewhere else as well.

I’ve not yet seen a Live 1 hour report with current ongoing video and information.

 

[rosesfromangels]

Some really good observations. One more. Could the drops of blood been planted as a diversion? Really careless on abductors part to hit her and leave it untouched IMO.

First, I am truly outraged that the media is showing (presumably) the blood splatter of an elderly woman, Have we really sunk this low as a society? Can you imagine the unfathomable pain that must be causing her family to see that! I am disgusted. As far as why the blood was left where it was, it is likely because the Perp was (again presumably) trying to move a partially imobile, bleeding elderly woman to a vehicle without detection. No time to tidy up.

Who(m) ever they are, I wish their days ahead to be ill fated. Despicable cowards.

Amateur opinion and speculation

 

[SlimPickens]

Did you listen to him? He acknowledges the difficulty that the family faces. He seems to have more experience than you.

Argumentum ad auctoritatem.

Acknowledging the difficulty the family is facing is not the same as giving them sound advice. Advising someone not to pay a ransom when statistics suggest that 90% of paid ransoms result in returned victims is foolish at best and derelict at worst.

JMO.

Exactly. I still suspect the ransom demands are a separate crime not directly related to missing NG. And I hope if this is the case they are found and prosecuted under the full extent of the law. The added anguish they put this poor family through is unimaginable, then the wasted LE $$$$ resources. IMO

 

[Absoluterubbish]

I’ve not yet seen a Live 1 hour report with current ongoing video and information.

Did this interesting info come from the live feed or commentary?

 

[turaj]

Any more developments regarding Banfield’s finger pointing to the son-in-law?

she is holding steady with that theory and her source but pretty quiet today so far.

 

[Vegasgrl]

Do we think they set up new internet source while they were in the garage/house? How does this work?

Trump suggests “some things" could be coming from DOJ or FBI on Nancy Guthrie case​

President Donald Trump seemed to suggest on Friday that “some things” could be coming from the Justice Department or the FBI in the case of Nancy Guthrie’s disappearance.

“We have some things, I think that will maybe come out reasonably soon, from DOJ or FBI, or whoever, that could be, could be definitive. A lot has taken place in the last couple of hours. A lot of things have happened with regard to that horrible situation in the last couple of hours,” the president told reporters aboard Air Force One.

The president posted on Truth Social earlier this week that he is “deploying all resources” to find “TODAY” anchor Savannah Guthrie’s 84-year-old mother.

Asked about the federal support, Trump said, “I think we’re doing very well on that regard,” adding, “Very well meaning we have some clues, I think that are very strong, and I think we could have some answers coming up.”

Trump did not elaborate further as to what exactly those developments could be.

please please don't confuse things anymore ! We certainly did not need this CNN.

What was the early January contractor doing at the home? Does anyone remember? Roof work? Maybe placing a camera or two to plot out a nefarious scheme?

(If LE placed those cameras/objects then why did they look like they were on an egg hunt trying to find them?)

Hoping LE just missed this camera (s) and these store videos to a USB drive somewhere In her home.. it can be only about 3 inches hidden somewhere..(having several layers of security). Some wifi cameras some on USBs and some live cameras..
I can only hope these cameras have backups on a little missed USB drive In her home. and this camera actually might have been the notification at 2:12.

 

[SlimPickens]

What’s the point of paying them without proof of life? That doesn’t make sense.

Someone posted earlier that 90% of ransoms paid to verified kidnappers result in a victim's return. Would you pay it or not pay it based on those statistics alone (if kidnapper verified he was authentic)?
