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

I'm afraid this case will go cold. I hope I'm wrong.

Ir's cold already as far as continuing to broadcast this 24/7. Let them do all the ancillary raids etc they want. When they have an arrest, then it's hot. Window of opportunity missed long ago, IMO. Ransom should have been paid and focus is on wrong assumptions from the beginning, IMO. Too many people latched on to AB's unnamed source of info in LE. This is a man who has been mentally stalking SG for awhile and is obsessively in love with her. He wants to be acknowledged by SG. The mom was his insurance policy. Maybe went there also to get a genuine SG souvenir from the mom's home ( a photo, a piece of lingerie) that belongs to SG., something along those lines. . He is trying to grab SG's attention. He is delusional. He is also clever. He has them all looking for a robber, has evaded LE, and he could be so out of touch that he might keep a dead body concealed in a ravine near by, as a memento. JMO.

I would think there would be more vetting of the tip. Again, feel sorry for anyone who even remotely resembles this perp.

Hoping and praying NG is found alive but I don't have much confidence in this SO.

You keep saying it was just a tip. Please provide a source for this.

Im very invested in this case but I told myself last night before I went to bed that if this was another failed bust up I had to walk away and I’m going to be doing that. I didn’t post anything last night but I still feel gross feeding from the media trough over of all of this. I really believed the raid last night was the end and the family would finally have some answers. Poor Nancy. Her children and family must be devastated, losing their minds with all these twists and turns. What a gut punch! I feel so bad for them. Unfortunately today marks 2 weeks. Life Goes on. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t see LEO/FBI maintaining this large of a presence much longer. There has been so much money, time, and resources, and man power on this case that it is supremely disappointing to know that no arrests were made last night. Prayers for Nancy and family. MOO

Thank you all for allowing me to be here and speak freely and engage in conversation. Mods please delete my account, I don’t know how to do it. Thank you

I think NG was knocked out with a substance while at dinner. This is why the

Me too. Why hold the yellow tarp up before opening the hatch unless you think there is something very sensitive in there?

IMO, it was because there weren't sure exactly what was in there and they didn't want to risk the press getting a picture of something terrible. I think it was prudent to block their view, along with everyone else's.

 

[birdbox]

That's it, im taking a 30 day break from the news and possibly even the entire Internet.

Suggestion: We should sleuth the holster.

Looked to me like multiple FBI participants

Yes imo they are very actively involved

I would like to join you, but I'm guessing I'm too weak to hold out.

We don't know what they had.
It was crazy last night and I got very little sleep LOL In a world where everyone can livestream and all that media there with all their 'inside sources', we just go to see more than we normally do!

 

[raja]

I disagree. It shows they're taking every lead seriously and working around the clock to find Nancy. This isn't a TV show where everything gets wrapped up in a neat little bow. They're damned if they do, damned if they don't — meanwhile we're all sitting in our warm homes picking apart their every move. Just my opinion.

I do agree with you. JMHO

Yes there is no way...

That looks like a new paper plate, as in a recently purchased vehicle (behind the yellow lined paper).

I know here in the Dallas area we have a real problem with fake dealer and temp tags. They just slap them on there to remain undetected.

Cherryleaf,
Long time member here, very infrequent poster. Pls take a deep breath, walk away if you need to. I find, especially on other cases, the WS community to be fair, full of smart people with a wealth of knowledge. Pls come back when you feel ready. Your thoughts and opinions are valued.

IMO this is going to be one of the major issues in securing a conviction - the crime scene not being secured properly. I’ve never seen an investigation allowing the media to infiltrate a crime scene to this extent before.

Accountant at Tucson...Odd wording...

so maybe not a native speaker? that's nothing.

 

[auburnmomof2]

Does Arizona have a silver alert system in place and was it used when they realized NG was missing?
I just thought about this. I'm not sure if the Amber Alert type alerts for missing seniors is nationwide or not. Jmho

RE: The swat raid. If the address that's out on the net is indeed accurate- someone connected to that address works in the Pima County Law Enforcement sphere- and if this raid turns out to be connected to the abduction- this is going to be a new and compelling part of the story that the abductors are connected to someone within LE

No it was the incorrect address. Sheriff released a statement last night. It was definitely the wrong address based on everything.

Suggestion: We should sleuth the holster.

No, because the way this is going....that could lead to a random arrest at an Applebee's next week whereby people taken in for questioning based from a tip that was called in to TMZ from a person who stumbled on this site and the subjects questioned subsequently released the next day. Lol

IIRC, Richard Allen self reported the next day. Were Abby and Libby found when he called or still missing?

I can't recall if initially they were considered just missing or abducted and if there is a difference on how LE handles missing, abducted or kidnapping cases?

Richard Allen gave a report at a Park Ranger tent, outside of a grocery store, on day 3.

LE had put a Ranger there to collect names of people who were on the trails, and asked if they saw anything. RA said he was there that day, didn’t see anything.

Hand Written on legal pad, put into a “ lost” paper file for a 5 years. Finally discovered, when they got new eyes on case, they discovered he looked like “bridge guy”!

Incredible effort for 5 years, they had the guys name from the beginning. LE error.
