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

I agree, but understand. NBC is covering the Olympics and Savannah is a part of their family. But I do wish every victim got this much attention. Hopefully, as technology advances, that will happen.

Wouldn't this be awesome!

I would presume they wouldn't medivac an injured

As much as I want Nancy to be found alive, I fear that if this Lifeflight tracking had legs we would be hearing a lot of buzz about this from various reporters and folks who work in Tucson at hospitals / EMT / etc,.

Realistically, who isn’t eager to share good news?

That would be a serious HIPAA violation for any hospital workers. Not for reporters, tho.

What is a Live Net Arizona chopper? News station?

I think it is an air ambulance

 

[boredetective]

Just read the suspect was detained during traffic stop, so LE must have been tracing a car

I wish I better understood flight transponders. It’s strange to me on the initial flight south it disappeared near Rio Rico and then re-appeared at the hospital miles south of there.

I had the same question! tried to figure it out but everything is moving so fast so I stopped trying. I wonder if they can hide certain parts of the flight path for security/privacy reasons upon request

EDIT: Thank you "Chainspell", who said: "Flightradar puts in that line for an estimated flightpath when a flight loses signal (for whatever reason, such as being out of range)."

Helicopters can often drop due to lack of coverage/getting hidden by mountains due to their low altitude. Of course, transponders can also be turned off for whatever reason.

So do you think it's more likely the person of interest, injured while being sought and detained?

No, they were detained earlier today - not half an hour ago.

 

[SRWCF]

Wonder if he got the idea to flee to Mexico when the media gave him an hours-long head start

That was LE just fleshing him out.

Be careful before making claims, people…
especially potentially-defamatory ones.

Helicopter just touched down Banner Universaty medical center. Heli, went down to Rio Rico from Tucson , and back up to Tucson , Banner. Don't know if relevant,

Of course the flight has disappeared from my FlightRadar24 app, but the helicopter took off from Tucson around 3:50 MST, if that has any relevance. It must have been on the ground at Holy Cross for quite some time.

Not sure…if not Nancy I would think totally unrelated to her case. The person in question here was detained during a traffic stop which, to me, indicates Nancy likely wouldnt have been with him, so I don’t think the location of this medical emergency is related to the location of the traffic stop.

All this being said, I really, truly do hope with all my heart that it IS Nancy in that helicopter going to the hospital.

ETA: so much in this case hasn’t made sense to me - this would be a hugely pleasant surprise if it defies my logic and is Nancy

Can you post source for it being a traffic stop?

RIO RICO, Arizona — The man detained of questioning in the abduction of Nancy Guthrie was headed toward the US-Mexico border when he was stopped by Pima County sheriff's deputies with the help of the FBI, law enforcement sources said.

Cops stopped the man and detained him for questioning, sources said.

He was being pursued when cops stopped his vehicles in this tiny border community, which is 60 miles south of Nancy Guthrie's home and just nine miles from the border.

Sources did not know if he was trying to flee to Mexico.

Whoa!!!!!!

 

[uteliaisuus]

Whaaaaaa??!!!! Link?? Pls

Why would they not medivac someone who's injured? This is literally what they do. If someone isn't alive, they don't waste resources like this.

So if he was detained during a traffic stop, where are they conducting the search warrant? Which came first, the location of the search warrant, or the detainment in a vehicle? How long ago was the detainment?

 

[Puzzles8]

Yes.

They picked up a patient from the hospital in Nogales - Holy Cross. I don’t think this is what everyone is hoping for.

source of information please
