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

I wonder who is paying for them? That information might provide some insight. IMO

It sounded to me like the FBI was paying.

"The FBI is rolling out digital billboards in several Texas cities—including Houston, El Paso, San Antonio and Dallas—to aid in the search for the 84-year-old, Brooke A. Brennan, FBI Phoenix Public Affairs Officer, told CNN Thursday. The billboards feature Nancy's photo, essential identifying information and the FBI tip line for anyone with information."

This was also mentioned in the Thursday press conference; I don't have the exact language in front of me but IIRC the sheriff said something to the effect of "the FBI is putting up billboards." I can dig it up if needed.

He's probably staying home out of the spotlight. I am sure he and his wife know all about public suspicions of him and they don't want to fan the flames with a bunch of appearances.

Good point.
At least if they went out in public they could cover their faces somehow if they felt unwanted (and undeserved) scrutiny was occurring ?

To be fair I think AG and SG have only been seen in the videos they released. I was hoping MK would ask BE if they'd seen either AG or SG or CG out running around but she didn't.

My opinion only.

I agree. There are no reports showing any the family outside of the instagram posts. Not sure why we think we'd see him?

I do think it's more about SG being who she is and the media is respecting her and her family's privacy. I think we would normally see them being followed and reported on, like other cases. JMO

Wonder if AG knows where TC is, now ?
Imo.

Why would someone think he’s not with the rest of the family?

Just my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt, but my understanding is that LE has 2 priorities: find the missing person, and legally obtain evidence leading to a successful prosecution of the perpetrator(s). Part of the rules of engagement include that LE can withhold information, tell false information including lies, and/or mislead parties as investigative methods while searching for the truth. These can NOT be done by the prosecutor in prosecuting the criminal charges. There, the suspect, who is presumed innocent, has the right to the truth and any withholding of information, lies, or misdirection may well lead to charges being set aside, a mistrial, a successful appeal of a conviction, etc. Just my thoughts, fwiw.

True, but lying to or misleading parties on purpose comes with the kinds of Swiss cheese that defensive attorneys gorge on.

JMO.

It was stated at the last presser that the FBI is putting up the billboards in various cities and states.

Regardless of who is the culprit, the motive is likely financial.

If the ransom is fake then how would the real perp get money?

Nancy was expected at a friend's house.....not church

On Feb. 1, Nancy did not arrive at her friend’s house as expected to watch the livestream. Concerned, the friend contacted Annie — Nancy’s daughter and Savannah Guthrie’s sister — to report that Nancy had not shown up and could not be reached.

The source emphasized that Nancy was expected to be at her friend’s home that morning, not at a Tucson church, and said the circumstances surrounding her absence have been inaccurately described in some coverage.

This makes way more sense than the not at church thing.

People cope in different ways. Plus, if this situation is about SG, and some crazy person did something to her Mom, an equally crazy person might try to seek vigilante justice on her behalf. And since his name was mentioned by AB as a potential prime suspect, whether he ultimately is or is not, the internet has been saturated with "ooh look at his side eye glare in this Christmas photo from 2013, he clearly did it!" posts. No one here, of course.

JMO.

Fair enough.

Yet if someone you were related to and cared for deeply was kidnapped, wouldn't you want to plead for their safe return and you wouldn't care at all what people thought about you, in public or in social media ?
Internet speculation would mean zilch if your loved one was being held captive and maybe suffering.
You'd do everything in your power to beg for them !

Thank you.

Several posters have asked on this thread recently if LE would need both AG and TC to give voluntary consent to a search of their home and property. I assume that LE would need the consent of all legal and official homeowners. Do we know if both AG and TC are listed on auditor's website as both being official homeowners?

They’re both listed as the property owners on the auditors website.

Glad this was cleared up. It indirectly suggests that either AG or SIL contacted LE.

Regardless of who is the culprit, the motive is likely financial.

With no proof of life after all this time (as far as we know) and all communication done publicly, it feels like the motive might be public humiliation of Savannah. Does the writer of the notes expect to get paid without proving that NG is alive? Even if he didn’t want to send photographs or physical evidence, he could have sent information in the notes that only NG and her children would know. Absent that, I’d be surprised if he expected to get money.

What he’s getting is news and perhaps that was the motive all along.

 

[swanniee11]

If they didn't have a search warrant than anything they found would likely be barred from evidence at trial.

I may have to agree with you on that. If nothing else, IMO it's sloppy

 

[CSIDreamer]

Why so much attention from POTUS? So many missing/kidnapped/abducted people.

Just my theory. This case is bizarre. The last thing that anyone wants is for someone to succeed at kidnapping a well known public figure's elderly mother and holding her for Bitcoin ransom. That sets a terrifying precedent. JMO.

The SIL claim was clickbait. Neither the SIL nor AG are involved. If authorities even had a tiny suspicion they were, then they would have search warrants. I know crime stats show there's a connection between last person to see a victim but LEs actions prove they are not suspects at this time.

That is quite the outrageous statement to make, at this point in the investigation.

Any proof ? Referring to it as clickbait? How do ?
