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

[investigatoroffacts]

The individual looks like he is barefoot, and left hand, and walked there. I feel like this person was the first point person to make contact, because I can't understand how he could get NG to leave or carry her. The video is eery.

Omg the comments are moving so quickly

My thoughts in a nutshell: man's body (and statistically extremely low it's a woman - not going to get on my soap box about this but MOST violent crimes are done by men), oddly large eyes for a man - face seems like it could be easily recognizable to someone who knows him. He could have taken concealing measures such as changing facial hair grooming, dying, etc.

Clothing is largely unremarkable. Stated he has a gun in his waistband? I didn't see that confirmed.

From the info on the post it says it's from "the morning of her disappearance" - meaning 2am, or like the morning of the dinner? I'm assuming 2am the day she disappeared but may be worth clarifying.

LE didn't have these images until today it sounds like; I wonder if they had any other info that would lead to this "sort of" person being involved, or if this is a totally new direction.

Given the gun, the knowledge of the camera locations, etc. I'm leaning toward pre-planned, definitely, possibly hired by someone else. Motive still unclear.

Photos are creepy AF. Poor Nancy. I hope they find this guy...

This guy is likely hired by someone who is retaliating against her or family member-possibly a contractor feels cheated. No ransom but a homicide. Time he spent in home shows comfort with surroundings. s for NG!

If I was gonna rob someone’s house that had a secure metal gate and additional door in the front of the house along with lighting , I’m gonna choose a side or back door 1st. This is odd to me

It's very odd. Was he trying to cover himself using the plant as he rang her doorbell? But once she got to her door, surely she wouldn't have opened that screen door. Well, safety door. Unless he pulled the gun on her, but still, something seems too weird about this.

New video of perp walking added

He approaches the sidewalk from the yard, not the driveway. I wonder if there's a car to the left of this video.

FBI can maybe glean foot size (unless they thought to wear shoes much larger/smaller then their real size.)
Height
Approx weight
Body build

He looks to me that he has put on several layers of clothing, padded his body size

Company that makes backpack
Brand of gloves, shoes, jacket

The longer he takes the risk of being there, in the camera, walking around , the quicker he will be identified.
Moreso than he thinks.

Padding, maybe in the form of a bullet proof vest...?

This guy is such a sophisticated criminal that he tries to hide himself from the camera with flower stems? And yet Day 10 and NG has not been found and they don't know who this guy is?

I'm just so relieved that we have SOMETHING to focus on. I am livid. I hate this person.

 

[MissPie]

Yes. It looks like double masks. It looks like he has 2 layers of clothes too. Lower body looks thick, but legs not too much. MOO. Does he know about LE's ability to determine features (weight, etc) from images? Does this imply professional?

Double masks is exactly my thought.

I think he’s left handed. I’m left handed and I would have pulled the plant out the way he did.

His gun/holster is configured for a righty. If he's using flowers to block the camera he's gonna want his stronger hand to pull it off

 

[aafromaa]

Person appears to be left handed?

several have said that but I disagree - handle of gun is pointed toward his right hand

 

[LifeAsAHouse]

I’m not convinced about the color of the holster. On my security cameras when they are in night vision depending upon the fabric, dark colored fabric can appear light in my camera view

 

[Van Helsing]

Two of his band mates/associates- could match the suspects physical features in my opinion. Big wide slightly down turned eyes, softer rounded faces, goatee, shorter stature.

Mustache is visible in the crime images.

 

[CrimeDawg123]

I don’t have X so I can’t see your pics. But i saw one earlier that looks like he covered the firearm with his jacket.

Here's a mirror site

Once my doorbell was rung multiple times at 4 am. I called the police, turned on the outside lights and locked myself in my bedroom. NG was sharp and I don't think she would have answered the door in the middle of the night.

I once accidently ordered an Amazon delivery on super-speed, and it arrived in the middle of the night. Never again will I make that mistake. Scary (and totally unnecessary for me)

 

[PCHS]

Speculation only: but I would think someone who is familiar - perhaps someone who is even affiliated with the folks who work there. I hope they have been scrutinizing the hired workers/contractor/roofers etc b/c usually it is someone you have interaction with - not a pure stranger.

 

[Jenny9]

It looks like he notices the camera, then goes back to get the lantanas to cover the camera.

If he had been at the house before, wouldn't he have known ahead of time there were c

I'm not thinking he was there before personally, I think the scoping person told him everything about the house ,and for got to tell him about other cameras!inside and out,I think it's someone she knew and never felt threatened until this happened

 

[NeilC]

I think he’s left handed. I’m left handed and I would have pulled the plant out the way he did.

He’s right-handed. The holster is called “right-hand release” If you look at the gun grip it’s facing so that he can grab it with his right hand. It’s a very strange place for him to wear that holster. I’ve not seen that before.

 

[SlimPickens]

This is def not a professional. The video with the flowers is so amateurish that it’s almost laughable. A professional would have brought tape, not hunted around for flowers on site.

The bending over may be awkward because of the backpack, especially if it’s heavy.

Tape leaves residue, and potentially a purchase history.

JMO.

 

[LvsAMystry]

Are those eyebrows or shadows?

Am I the only one that thinks the eyes/brows appear feminine but everything else clearly indicates male

 

[ldlager]

I think he’s left handed. I’m left handed and I would have pulled the plant out the way he did.

Agreed he is left handed

 

[LAhiker]

SIL has facial hair

The SIL's eyebrows are much more bushy. His mustache is greying. He appears to be larger and more burly than this guy.
