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

On one hand this looks amateurish. On the other hand it was definitely planned. I mean, covered head to toe to avoid shedding skin cells, gloves, mask, disabled the ring doorbell, etc.

Some random things from the photos/video:

-Definitely looks like a mustache in a couple of the photos
-Hard to tell height, but looks relatively tall
-Looks stocky, though individual seems to be moving stiffly, I wonder if they put an extra layer of clothing to make them look stockier than they are
-Anyone identify the jacket brand or backpack brand? See if anyone knows someone who owns them or if they were sold anywhere nearby recently.
-Person does not look in a rush. Granted, the home doesn't look to be on a busy residential street, but they don't seem worried about being spotted and very calm.
-Flashlight in mouth
-Neck fat visible in photos
-Person tries to hide their face as they approach the door... even with the mask on they duck their head as they approach.
-Backpack means brought supplies. I think back to that case in Arizona that happened the day before in Scottsdale where the teens brought supplies as well. Any link between cases?

Someone is crapping in their pants with all of these images coming out!

Just hope he hasn't left the country.
I don't think I trust him to care about NG.

 

[Frig]

One thing is now absolutely clear: this case will be solved, and rather quickly.

 

[Angelcat13]

Omg you guys were right with the plant debris!

Edited to add-why is he doing that? To cover camera?

Me wondering about the flowers -

If he/she was trying to use the flowers to provide additional concealment of their face, did they not know or anticipate that NG had a doorbell camera? If they knew prior to arrival that there was a camera, why didn’t they bring something with them to either further conceal their face or cover/spray the camera so it wouldn’t capture images?

Where were the flowers prior to being used here? Were they in a wreath on the door, in a pot/container by the door or did they have to pick/cut them from the yard? (IIRC someone previously said they were in a garden lining the walkway?) If they weren’t already by the door and they had to pick/cut them before they approached the door, it would seem like they took a chance assuming there weren’t other cameras that would have caught them doing this and alerted NG to their presence. Either way, it seems to point to poor planning, although the outfit and other elements of the crime do seem well planned.

well to be fair, Nanos did say in that one presser that people shouldn't be pointing fingers as people who could be victims.

agreed though, i did compare pictures and the eyes aren't a match IMO

moo

Bbm.
Did you have a link for the bolded ?
I can check around myself, too.
Tia.

It would be helpful if Sheriff Nanos would just make a statement clearing the family.
Everyone would focus elsewhere then.
Makes it look as if he's not certain yet ?
Imo.

The bun on the head. Photo # 3 looks like a female

I think that's a light or something behind him, JMO though.

I am left-handed but shoot, throw, bat right-handed. Not the norm but there are other ambidextrous people out there.

IMHO and I'm not an expert but the lashes appear to be those partial lashes to me.

I only heard of them recently as someone was wearing them and I asked them what mascara they used and they told me they were partial lashes.

I remember those from when I was younger (very creepy seeing mom take them off), and it is quite possible that this is all part of a disguise. There are layers of clothing there, and how better to look "innocent" after you've committed a crime while wearing one outfit than to change into different clothes?

Opinions. All opinions.

I just saw this on my IG one minute ago and I am freaking out> WHAT IS HAPPENING

 

[ab01]

One thing is certain, the person responsible is definitely not feeling very comfortable right now.

 

[PCHS]

Surely the chances are he’s local to narrow identifying him.
I hope the spotlight is taken away from the SIL now.

This. I can't imagine the hell they are going through - the whole family + him - not only are they worried sick over her but if nothing is ever found - the suspicion and repercussions he/AG would have to live with could be pretty negatively life altering.

 

[MesquiteO21]

Weird he covered with the flowers but had already looked directly into the camera.

and he walked up to the door with his head down, yet looked directly at the camera much closer up...

moo

 

[BetteDavisEyes]

Is open carry legal in AZ?

 

[Wsimm]

Agree. His outfit, mask(s), backpack and gun/holster - plus not anticipating the nest cam - all convey "amateur" to me. MO

Or setup to look amateurish?

 

[thefragile7393]

Dang those pictures are scary. I’m not one that scares easily but dang

 

[dogmom805]

This is the feature that stands out most to me. Lots of space between inner eyelid and bridge of nose. Eyes have a very distinct shape and are very wide. Lots of space between eyebrow and eyeball too. Very uncanny
IMO

And the eyes look HUGE IMO

 

[Data Sleuth]

What do you think those bright lights behind the suspect are? A house? It's late for a house to be so lit up.

I believe that they are reflective patches on top of the shoulder belts of the backpack. Some backpacks that have them are intended for bicycle riders at night so that they can be more visible to oncoming cars.

 

[SMK777]

Surely the chances are he’s local to narrow identifying him.
I hope the spotlight is taken away from the SIL now.

It has been for me.
