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

Her DNA was recovered in her home but they can't say if it was blood. Why not? I hope and pray she wasn't s*xually assaulted.

Honestly devastating, but I’m leaning towards that being the motive now.

I mean, we’re on WS. We can all point to countless cases where vulnerable people were targeted for assault and murder. It’s really sick to think about, but the more time that passes the more I think it’s likely. And removing her from the scene would ensure they couldn’t get any of his DNA from her body.

Any creep could’ve become aware of her through Savannah or just randomly. Freaking heartbreaking and grim to think about. Praying he will be caught and praying I could be wrong though.

 

[sprightly]

IMO, I don't think HER DNA inside the house has anything to do with sexual assault. Of course her DNA is inside her house -- all different kinds of her DNA.

She may have been sexually assaulted (God, I hope not!), but HER DNA wouldn't shed any light on that.

I would be much more suspicious that this referred to sexual assault if they said they found OTHER DNA in her home but wouldn't identify the type.

I DO hope that the FBI agents working this case are long term agents with years of expertise, and not newbies. JUST MY OPINION

It has been said because of the recent turnover at Pima County P.D., the average homicide detective there now only has 2 years experience.

There are a lot of good interviews with former Pima detectives with decades of experience, that have been posted in this thread. The general take is the current Pima County dept. is very green. Generally, the FBI has more resources and more specialists so regardless of political opinions which are sometimes misguided, they, as an agency, are surely more experienced than Pima County,

Well, the two of them do make convenient suspects: close to NG, the "poor kids" of the family, creators of kinda morbid and creepy poems and songs, last people to see her.

But if they are eventually charged, hopefully it will be for much more concrete evidence than those details, though.

I was a public school for over 20 years and I don't think of myself as a "poor kid." He works at one of the best schools in the country. Are they wealthy? Maybe not, but they are not poor and even if they were, that doesn't make them criminals.

Did anyone ever find the jacket worn in the video? There's like 1000+ pages to go through so I missed it if it happened....

Found something similar, I'll post once I get on my computer but was just wondering what had been found so far. Tia

Okay no one responded so assuming nothing?

Anyway after searching forever last night here are some *you guessed it* Walmart specials that are very similar.



I think for the one set I posted grey/black the inseam isn't noticeable in the video so probably not likely to be that one but perhaps camera didn't pick it up.

I do like how similar the wrist "cuffs" are and how there is not an actual hood but a little bunch area of actual material - not a clue what thats called - looks very similar to the nest video.

Btw there is loads of different colors available for each, hard to tell the real color from the video.

for reference:


edit to say: these were $22-$28~

Those tracks are odd indeed!

Might have bought this in Walmart while he was buying his backpack.

And certain comments that have been made like the Sheriff saying he wouldn't be talking about what was discovered inside the home out of respect for the family.

The thing is though, when you're making 60k and your sister is making $8 million, you're most definitely going to feel like the poor relation. It would take a really big person not to feel some level of resentment or jealousy.

Hello, all.
I have no idea what's going on here, I've had theory after theory...sigh. I'm exhausted. I cannot *fathom* the pain and exhaustion of Nancy's family. It breaks my heart.
Side story: my great-grandmother (around Nancy's age at the time) was a vibrant, seemingly healthy woman who drove her mile-long Cadillac all over Texas to visit friends and family. This would have been in the 1980's. She stopped for gas and was mugged at gunpoint for her jewelry. How long did that take, a minute or two? The stress caused an immediate stroke, the another. She passed not long after.
My God, someone (anyone!) please solve this and bring this family some peace.

If they are "poor", that makes me one notch up from being a bag lady......JMO

 

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

Moo...could be tracks form a 2 wheel wheel barrow used for yard clean up.....moo

LE could check with Lawn Guy. Likely the tracks are from something like a wheel barrow but worth checking out. Believe the blood tracks stopped at the driveway that the front door patio area led to. MO

We also don’t have any solid confirmation that she did make it home. We can assume so based on the disconnects with the pacemaker/cell phone data. But there could also be other explanations for how and why that happened. Electronics are finicky gadgets.

Then there was the initial confusion? Bad reporting? Changing stories? about who actually drove Nancy home that night.

And I personally cannot get past that 2 minute window. My mother also used her garage to enter/exit. It would take us a good 10 minutes to get out of my vehicle, and walk together to the house. She was also 85 and very physically limited.

I also find it VERY STRANGE anyone, let alone some who loved and cared about this woman, would just drop her off. You’d think you would walk into the house with her. Check to be sure she has all she needs and that she was well inside her home.

My theory that it could be TC points to he’s admittedly the last person to see her alive.

This masked person in the photos has a striking resemblance to him. TC is 5’9. Average build. Facial hair. Others have spoke about this person appearing to be wearing eyeliner. Look at the known photos of TC. His eyes have that same appearance.

I’m not saying it’s 100% him. But LE should be doing their due diligence and completely eliminating ALL FAMILY MEMBERS first. They’re not doing this per the sheriff. “Nobody has been ruled in or out.”

What a coincidence that would be that she never made it home and then at 2am, some rando shows up on her front porch. Staging? Doubt it.

 

[acutename]

It is strange, unless Megyn confused her words, it sounds like they really do want to know if Nancy's neighbours have anything they want to share about AG and SIL. Its likely they would have been at Nancy's home alot, maybe they observed something, heard something, suspected something - maybe not even directly related to Nancy's disappearance, just in general

This is what confuses me and what the Sheriff has just said - its contradictory. Either they are taking a long time to rule out all the family, or they are having trouble ruling out all the family

my bet is that the FBI interviewed the neighbors of both locations extensively ...the phone issue- maybe they know that one was dropped and "died" in one of the areas (?) just a guess IMO

 

[stmichael]

IMO no. Sherriff is doing that allllll on his own.

Yeah, this is a guy who's had a lot of local criticism and scandals (including a Federal one) PRIOR to this case. Seems a lot of his dept. hates his guts.

And even PRIOR to knowing this I thought he was a P.R. nightmare with his interviews, press conferences, and handling of this case.

 

[BigCityAccountant]

Anyone familiar with uploading pictures? Just curious what information would be traceable if the perp uploaded a picture or video of Nancy to another website and wouldn't it be likely the could scrub the video or picture or all its identifiable properties?

Like I'm questioning why the perp wouldn't use any old website where you can post videos or pictures.

 

[Justice101]

I think Megyn Kelly said they are looking for a phone, as though one might have been tossed or dropped somewhere in AG’s neighborhood. If true, LE may have detected a phone that was in the vicinity at a critical time that they have not been able to link to its owner.

Yes maybe... detected a phone in the area that STOPPED MOVEMENT. Obviously, it has a dead battery now

 

[unresolvedmystery]

AG has earned multiple awards for her publishing. If you have a link to this morbid and creepy poems, please list it, otherwise it's your opinion only, or MOO. What Savanah Guthrie's sister and her husband really do for a living. MSN

AG took much of her social media and websites down or made them private so its tough to find but I did read some of it a few weeks back and it was very morbid.

 

[ArabianLover]

The Sheriff has indicated that SIL is not a suspect and that rumors to that effect are untrue. I imagine they, iike her brother, are letting Savannah speak for the family since she has a larger public profile. On the (substantial) chance that NG was targeted due to her being SG's mother, it makes sense for a variety of reasons why the other family members might choose less public visibility.

JMO.

When did the sheriff state SIL is not a suspect? I haven’t seen that. If he’s been cleared, that’s huge.

When did he state he WAS a suspect?

 

[Justice101]

Scrolling thru all this information that everyone (yeh, like me included) keeps adding to the pages here... just gives me a headache. Think I'll take a few days break
