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

In regards to cutting power to home. I noticed when moving to Az some 20 years ago all circuit breakers are on outside of home which I personally had never seen until moving here. I put a lock on my cover of circuit box because did not like the idea of someone being able to turn off my power that easily but almost all are not locked. I recall a local news station talking about kids pulling pranks a few years back turning off peoples power in the evening while they were home. I bet Nancy's was on the outside too.

That’s so interesting! New homes too?

It's been established the notes are real.

Can you link a source for this?

This is crazy to me. They have searched her place multiple times including the surrounding brush, how could they have only discovered a glove yesterday.

I jumped the gun in assuming the gloves were found today. All the link says is gloves were found in the home. The link is from today. It could be an error mixing up the ditch gloves? I jumped to the conclusion they were found today because of the white tent. Who knows?

What does this mean? I am confused!

It means that getting footage for those dates would be a good idea and maybe LE should also get a copy..

I wonder if the kidnappers originally thought they would be directly negotiating with the family. Now with the media circus this has become, I won't be surprised if the kidnappers end up abandoning NG and walking away, knowing they are not getting any ransom. If NG is not found very soon after they abandon her, she may not make it.

MOO - could be the gloves were somewhere innocuous in Nancy's house (like, with the gardening tools and other work gloves) and LE didn't know they weren't Nancy's until they recovered the video of the suspect wearing gloves? ETA: and now, they're doing DNA testing just to confirm whether they belonged to Nancy or not. Again, MOO all speculation

TMZ founder Harvey Levin (who saw the note) said it provided the location of the Apple Watch and that it mentioned the “destroyed” floodlights at the rear of the house. It was during his interview with Chris Cuomo on NewsNation. But this is the first time I’ve seen the location of the watch revealed. I don’t know NewsMax, either.

And theoretically if this location is correct, and this tabloid has that info, it stands to reason others may as well, which makes the note that much less credible imo.

That’s so interesting! New homes too?

I'm in the San Francisco area and newer homes have them on the outside but older have them indoors.

All this leads to the following - my app has a "FIND MY" feature. Note: I've removed all identifying information.

Before I tried this experiment I had my hearing aids OUT and hadn't opened the actual app for a few days. It still showed that the last place both hearing aids were known to be was inside this house on February 9. I think you can see where I'm going with this. It's an obscure/thought idea and it would depend on a lot of things, but if there is ONE hearing aid on her body, it might provide a clue to where she was at some point.


I'm editing to add what they look like when they are disconnected (not in my ears). The app still seems to know where they are. Of note: they are fully charged so I don't know what happens if one or both would be no longer charged.

This is SO COOL, I had no idea it existed. The folks next door are 84 and 87, they're my replacement grandparents essentially, he's always losing his hearing aid. I'm researching this and sorting this out in the morning for him. The best thing, they have a smart phone but can only do contacts/phone so it'll be my phone the apps on.

Cheers @LRinCA

I didn’t say anything about removing her pacemaker or tracking it. I was questioning the timeline and lack of publicly released information that she entered the house.

I think the FBI isn't publicly confirming because even though the likelihood of AG/SIL being involved is slim, it's not impossible. They don't want to say the family is cleared, because they aren't. It doesn't mean they're guilty, just that until an arrest is made, everything is still on the table. I would assume in any investigation, suspects move up and down the list based on information coming in.

The backpack could be mass-produced and sold under numerous brand names. But if the Ozark Trail logo is on there, it’s exclusively sold at Wal-Mart which narrows down where the perp attained it. Wal-Mart in-store, online, possibly Amazon, or second hand.

I research wardrobe for movies & tv as part of my job. I haven’t researched these photos yet. They creep me out, plus there’s lots of researchers better at it than me. I’m sure they’ve figured it out. It may take awhile to track down the buyers of the backpacks, but it’s a shot.

I’m surprised it is allowed as a source here as it is banned on some other sites.

NEWSMAX IS NOT ALLOWED AS A SOURCE. If you see NewsMax on any thread please use the report button in the lower left hand corner of the post and let us know.
I have edited the post. Remember you must stay on topic. Political posts about sources or unapproved sources are not allowed.
Thank you

I would call that across town, myself. Certainly not the same neighborhood.

Where I live, it would not be considered the same neighborhood, However, not being familiar with NG’s neighborhood, it might be considered same neighborhood (the properties are larger in NG’s Neighborhood, so that could make a difference in perception of what qualifies as a ‘neighborhood’). JMO

Then, if the ransom notes are authentic and they didn't want a media circus, maybe they shouldn't have sent the notes to TMZ and other news stations..imo

You may want to remove this as it has been found inaccurate and not put out by LE.

 

[EightiesBoo]

We will probably never know why … horribly unfair. For all of those missing and murdered under mysterious and unsolved circumstances… we stand with you!
I feel like there are SO many cases that information is kept close to the vest and when it comes out it’s far too late! Like the voice clips from Delphi. Why wait? Even this video, it doesn’t give anything away that would jeopardize a case, why wait?

Why January 11th in particular? Very oddly specific ... (ok, original poster removed their message so this is not relevant).

where the perp attained it. Wal-Mart in-store, online, possibly Amazon, or second hand.

Do we know when the backpack was first released?

If it was only recently that would possibly rule out second-hand.

It’s also possible it was gifted to the perp.
