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

News Nation just said that Brian E is on his way to Rio Rico and will be reporting from there soon. They are staying on the story for the next hour and a half.

Live there now on TV (News Nation).

I am positing that somebody gave the man seen in the Nest Cam a key. Or told him where a key was hidden, and that’s why he backed up and rifled under a bush.

There was no force entry, so he had to have had a key to get in. Nobody is opening the door for a stranger in the middle of the night!

I understand the theory but we don’t have confirmation of that.

Prayers for Nancy...sending good vibes for her regardless.

And for the rest of Nancy’s family, friends, neighbors, etc…

Source: I AM WATCHING MY TV and I suggest you all do the same. CNN, FOX & NN are all doing live coverage.

Oh, I spend days like this rooted to the news.

I can and do watch John Miller and Andrew McCabe throughout the day.

Two utterly nonpareil former LE, from NYPD and the FBI, who always know what they are talking about, and can translate cop speak very clearly.

I don't know if my being tired is making my theory-making questionable. (Unusually in the way of optimism tonight.) So posting here as a check. The person of interest taking in was somewhat notably delayed between happening and reporting. (Just an hour or two I believe, but it was not live time breaking.)

It seems, for LE strategy + maybe other reasons, moves are being made and not reported in live time in the way other cases sometimes go. Also, as we all know, press is covering this differently in a number of ways. With key outlets/reporters, I would posit, perhaps being more restrained against some "rush to break rumors" ways because it is a friend and colleague's loved one at the center of the case.

Given all of that. And that the lifeflight looked like it stopped for some time on a rural residential road just north of Rio Rico. (Shared via varied tracking posts above thread.) I want to believe it...could be possible...that the flight is related/was NG. And that due to sensitivities of her condition + family wanting to be there to process as medical care is rendered...that perhaps that bit of information would also be delayed in being shared, like the capture of the person of interest was.

Am I wildly too optimistic? So little in this case has followed standard expectations, I'm not sure.

Any locals have info about the area being searched Rio Rico? Demographic, quiet or busy, geography, what it's known for, etc.

Curious about the area in general.

Here’s a bunch of reviews of the town from people who live there:

On Newsnation right now. Will get video soon.

I think you’re right! I don’t see a legend, but I have seen that same red – line around the area when it was closed especially during fire season so I just assumed. Ignore my comment.

No worries! By the way, if it's been an hour or less, you can delete your comment. I'll delete mine too if you do.

I see Camino Agosto on a street sign contained.

And he just repeated on live TV that they haven't found NG yet.

Another report just now from fox news live indicated that they are doing a court authorized search of a property in Rio Rico AZ that should last several hours. Again this is from a live broadcast from the mouth of Josh Ritter. No link..just live Fox News TV. Plz someone let me know if this is acceptable to paraphrase.

Just today I was talking to a colleague about this case and how I always see people bash the cops for “botching” investigations. This should be a reminder that they are almost always doing much more and always know much more than we can imagine.

Could the heli before could have been transporting the POI or injured offices (maybe during the detainment) and now the search at the residence is for NG?

EDIT: Also heard BE say they have not found NG. So sad. If the search of the home is meant to take several hours, that means it's not immediately apparent that she is there (it doesn't look like big houses and would imagine finding someone would be fairly quick, if in there) MOO

 

[toucan1234]

Would think a name will trickle out once the address for where the search warrant is being executed is known…so curious whether it’s a name or figure on our radar (i.e., known name or someone in a role that couldve worked at Nancy’s house).

There’s a Rio Rico community group on Facebook reporting all of the police activity is on “the west side by the high school” which is immediately off I-19

Highly likely the helicopter had zero to do with the case. I think we should drop the helicopter idea.
