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

[jellybean96]

BE reporting now on NewsNation that a "massive police presence" is still on the scene, particularly the FBI and an evidence unit. Search warrant is being executed right now at house. A man and a woman came out willingly when 2 SWAT vehicles arrived. A third person, a man, was detained at the traffic stop and is possibly related. BE was also told by authorities they expect to be at the home "all night".

BE also said his sources told him earlier today that something was "going down" tonight because someone in the home was being "surveillanced".

He doesn't have names/identities of the people that were in the home.

BE also said his FBI sources said that communication has been a "mess" between the sheriff and the FBI and they have been left "out of the loop."

BE also said the white van and said there are a "ton of white vans" in NG neighborhood, people constantly getting work done on their homes, and he wouldn't make too much of this information.

I actually counted white vans that I saw today out and about in my neighborhood. I saw 7! I would have never thought there would be that many in just a few hours! I only crossed one 'bigger' street, so I am sure there would be more if I crossed a major road/intersection.

So much for setting up a perimeter when they allow drones.

Drones don’t have feet that walk bodies into crime scenes though

I don’t like the looks of this van. Just now leaving.

A few years back a little girl by the name of Cleo Smith was abducted in Aus. She was thankfully found safe 18 days later just streets from where her parents lived (she was however abducted further away during a camping trip). So these things do happen. But it is a shock when you hear it. So close yet so far.

yes.. I'm blanking on other examples (sorry! late here) but there have been a number of missing persons/murder cases where the victim was found either very close by (in other buildings/homes, or nearby woods, etc.) or even in the same home/building where they went missing.

Is the front license plate covered? or just a blurry photo?

 

[loves2readhistory]

It's crazy how the APS card being left in the door seemed random and innocuous days ago, but that is one hell of a coincidence given the homeowner's purported occupation.

You are using bad information about your conjecture I believe

She mentioned she uses intuition in addition to technical details and experience. She shared she has succeeded nearly every time in cases with just fractured skeletal skulls to help ID deceased people.

ETA: "skeletal" and "deceased" for clarity

Yeah she has amazing skills no doubt and having pieces of the skull would be a great starting point to be able to draw off of. I have zero doubt she is exceptionally skilled. And by no fault of her own, I think she has the best intentions. But even by her own words this case is not conducive to being able to make a positive outcome without some guessing due to the mask.

I just can't see that it's of much help in this case, It almost seems like she was asked and she said yeah i'll take a swing at it.

I just don't have much faith in it based on the many cases I've followed.

And if LE had reached out and provided her with details that aren't known to the general public that had more detail I'd probably feel very different.

All jmo but I would be surprised if the perp ends up being identified from that sketch

Swat teams served a warrant at a house in the rain. 1 man and 1 woman detained. While the house situation was developing with SWAT, a white van was stopped and one male detained.

Lots of LE and FBI are at the house. Forensics are there as well. House location was 1.9 miles from Nancys.

BE had the scoop for the first bit. No other big MSM knew it was happening til 30-45min into his.

No word on how this is all related but we are told it is related to Nancy.

You’re a good egg.

Elizabeth Smart heard people calling her name searching for her the night she was abducted as she was held at a nearby "campsite".

 

[Wishbone]

It doesn't seem to me that NG is in that house but that LE is looking for signs that she was there?

 

[cathathorse]

This is so damn sad. I can't imagine what poor Nancy went through. If she was actually kidnapped and held alive for ransom I don't even know how SG and family will deal with it. How do you not replay the 'what ifs' over and over in your head? I hope they will heal in time. This was just a shockingly cruel crime on so many levels.

 

[loves2readhistory]

He’s held the position they mentioned.

IMO it is not fair to many on this thread when people make comments that are based on private info not shared by everyone—like people talking across a large dinner table in coded language…

Is the front license plate covered? or just a blurry photo?

No front plates in AZ.

 

[justwannahelp]

I went on Google maps and I think the correct house has this...white van...parked in the driveway.

Here’s the van in front of Culver’s
Did they paint over the letters??

 

[EncyclopediaBrownJr]

Crazy & scary how this house is so close to NG's. You never know who is watching you.

I live in a nice neighborhood. Many porch lights just turned on.

 

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

Me too, but the purported and unverified occupation isn't what the Sheriff's tweet mentions. Think higher. JMO.

OMG. JMO

Is the front license plate covered? or just a blurry photo?

I took the photo off my television. Not sure what it is actually.

From the Pima County Assessor's office - the homes on E Placita de Graciela Pima County Assessor's

What is this in relation to?
