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

[Sundog]

I know an elderly woman who's 87 and she and friends call each other each morning to let the others know they're still alive, so you never know.

Yes, if seniors and elderly live alone, they often have buddy groups who check in with them every day. Our city has a program for seniors or elderly people who live alone and want to be on a list for a daily check-in call if they have no other people checking on them. It's a program provided with funds from the state of Ohio. But lots of people have relatives, church buddies, neighbors, or others to check in with them.

edited to add: for seniors or elderly who live alone

I don’t understand why the FBI is involved. They think this is an interstate or national level case because it is the mother of a TV host? It seems like if this is going to drag on for months, they have to justify why federal taxpayers have to pay for this long investigation when so many benefits have been cut for the common man. They should probably trust local LE to take it from here. MOO

Wonder if they can do geofencing in that area to see what cell phones were in the area at the time of the activity linked to her being taken. Or maybe they are following up on that if it was done?

FBIs job with the high tech digital forensic equipment will have been gathering that data

How depressing. But I get your point.

I don't find it depressing. I hope I have friends that care about me when I get to that age.

Third time searching SIL & AG house and NG house. New leads. Sounds like an arrest maybe imminent. JMO

 

[maskedwoman]

What's the specific time-frame for holding someone for questioning before making an arrest or letting them go? 48 hrs? Is Federal detention longer?

After arrest you have 48 hours to take them before a judge for arraignment. If you're just questioning them, it's shorter.

I’m sorry if this has been addressed, but if SIL were to be a suspect, what do you think were his movements in theory? Did he drop off NG, leave, and come back around the time the cameras were turned off? Did he drop her off and never actually leave the driveway, lying in wait until she went to bed? Or did he go inside with her? Do you think they maybe had a disagreement on the way home?

I saw the discussion earlier about how people were unhappy we were suspecting family members, and I don’t feel strongly one way or the other, so this is all theoretical.

But in just a single service to notice that NG didnt comment so the person makes a call to the family? If I missed a friends chat comments in one service, I would assume they didn’t feel well, took a weekend trip or even missed an alarm. If they didn’t show up for the following Sunday I would check in with them.

If the two women were close friends and NG has said that she would be at the church service and did not show up, it would be worrying. Especially if NG had always been responsible. Usually older female friends would send a text or call and say I am sick, cannot go to church today so as not to worry the friend. It would be rude to no show and not say anything to your friend.

Any evidence or rational argument for your claim that the SIL thing is clickbait? Any evidence that AG nor SIL are involved or that there were no search warrants? What actions have LE taken that "prove" they are not suspects at this time?

That was all your opinion you are posting as fact.

That was unfair for me to call it clickbait because she probably had a source but it certainly became that.

Several people have reported no search warrants or evidence of sealed warrants. I never said there were no suspects because I have no idea.

Every resource possible was promised. More Agents/staff are adding to personnel already involved... heck even Pres has asked to be briefed.

 

[TIGER0822]

Agree to disagree

They are apparently conducting or will be co ducting a third round of searching / activity on the house.

 

[Cipher Vale]

Have you seen the video where the store clerk is showing the footage of Agents (or officers) at CK to a female reporter ??

No, I saw a reporter outside saying LE were there yadda yadda. The comments on YouTube roasting the reporter for providing zero newsworthy info after the first 30 seconds of his report.

The FBI agent at one of the press conferences talked about exactly that. It's been done, and hopefully it pays dividends.

Yes older women check on each other to see how they are doing and if they are OK.

 

[shonyakay]

In the ones I have attended online basically you have a camera showing the service and then possibly a chat underneath but that is in Ireland and America. I guess it could be different in America.

Thank you. I was kind of being sarcastic taking a dig at NYT for stating Nancy wasn't in her pew. Turns out she hadn't been in her pew for years. I believe BE.

 

[BrittMontero]

What about when it's not? Do you feel good making an innocent person's life a little worse? What was the benefit you got?

The benefit is a robust and honest and candid discussion.

No one is marching up and down their street crying “murderer!” on live TV. If we cannot be frank here, keeping in mind statistical likelihoods, what’s the point?

The forum owner has spoken. Perhaps it would be best for you to dialogue with her rather than repeatedly haranguing other members who are not violating the rules.

My googs search found a few CKs on N Oracle Road

I am seeing one at Las Lomitas and Oracle and another at River and Oracle. There are also a couple in the towns of Oro Valley and Catalina, farther north. I'm trying to get a sense of the route that would have been taken from AG's house to NG's. Has it been reported which Circle K it was?

 

[moxiemom]

I believe its this one Google Maps

Based on local news reporters being on scene and appearing to report from the Grant Rd side by the dumpsters

Sheriff Nanos stated that Technology will solve this case.

Good point. Also thinking of my own parents, I don’t think any of their friends have my phone number, and I don’t have theirs. So I’m surprised that a church friend would have any Nancy’s children’s numbers handy to call them.
