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

Something I can't get out of my head:

SG called Sen. Mark Kelly immediately after 911 was called. Why?

Honestly, probably because that's just what highly connected, influential people do (and also civilians if they happen to know anyone in power) when in crisis. They have circles. It's not to avoid proper channels, but it does help make sure something important gets escalated and doesn't fall through cracks. When SG got word her mother was missing, she likely put on her journalist and media hats and dialed up the highest person in Arizona that she could think of in her rolodex. Back channels exist everywhere. Not sketchy, not shady, and in a scary, personal situation, calling anyone she could think of to help make phone calls on her behalf.

STS Nation on YouTube is reporting several FBI officers and a Medicsl Examiner truck just arrived on scene.

Oh, that just made my stomach clench.

So it’s being reported a medical examiner is on scene. I’m not in the US. Is that a coroner or something different?

I’m watching someone live on YouTube and have seen all the cars going in and haven’t seen a medical examiner. The person doing the live hasn’t mentioned it either.

I think the coroner would be there but, then again, sometimes they’re in an unmarked vehicle.

Medical examiner is supposedly there now too

What types of homes are these? Expensive? Large lots like Nancy’s or closer together? I would check myself on google earth but I’m packing my family.

smaller lots but still nice big homes, swimming pools etc

Is there a source for this? I have not seen it. (But I did just see a bunch more unmarked vehicles go in.)

If it’s not an Air B&B there will definitely be some interesting “theories”.

Oh those theories are flying around fast. I usually don't get caught up in them and wait for concrete evidence. But someone connected to tonight's home the eyes etc look similar to nest camera suspect. However we all know how that worked out with the previous man looking like the suspect.

I'm thinking that, say hypothetically that NG's remains were found at wherever home this is.

If you were LE with even a molecule of sense, would you send a coroner's van or similar that would signal far and wide that probably NG's remains had been found?

Or would you send less obtrusive vehicles that could more discreetly accomplish the same tasks?

JM musings and imaginings, none of this is to be taken as anything factual.

There is chain of custody issues—the coroner has to be the one in control of the body at scene of death that looks suspicious. You dont want to use a police van that looks innocuous to remove a body from a crime scene because that opens up all kinds of issues legally that could benefit a defendent. I imagine there is another way to get to that house is they wanted to bring in a coroner’s van unnoticed. This is likely the most direct route to the house—maybe it is on a dead end street—I didnt check the map that closely. All those streets look long with other joining—no straight lines.
So these cars coming in are using the same GOogle maps probably to get there.

How is everyone watching live? It only gives 5 minutes? Is it live on YouTube without restriction?

DBM

I agree. I’ve only seen it reported by one source on the scene.

Nine more vehicles just went in. They wouldn't be this active for nothing IMO

Similar.

If an ambulance pulls up, that is a good sign! We don't want to see the opposite.

What if the ambulance is there for one of the suspects who unalived himself at the scene during a related traffic stop? My opinion only that NG is not there.

Medical Examiner? No!!!!

 

[IzzyBlanche]

I suppose you are right. It just seemed quick to me.

How long do you think she should have waited?

EDITED at 12.34a: DBM — STS reporting changed, not conclusive.

Yes!

 

[loves2readhistory]

Agreed. It's basically NG's neighborhood, and a nice home. The POI sounds like he could be married with a son. I just can't imagine what the possible motive(s) could be.

What is STS Nation—is that an approved source for this site?

Does anyone think at this point that the sweet lady is going to be alive?
I can’t imagine that has more than a 2% possibility…and if you did take her why in heaven’s name would you take her to YOUR house?

Perhaps this home is a rental and everyone living there is involved in the kidnapping and perhaps there is evidence of Nancy having been there or they had to keep her there, hoping they would get their money and all leave. I’m only speculating.

There are now more law enforcement cars going to the scene. A lot of them! Pray for Nancy. I’m so sad.
