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

[Sakura2Sophia4Lucia]

It was as of Wednesday which is a long time. Brian Entin brought it up in his interview.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't heard that any of the people temporarily arrested last Friday night had an alibi. I understood they didn't have enough evidence to arrest them, which could have involved an alibi.

 

[WonderAll]

This is close to Nancy's neighbourhood.
An attempted kidnapping in september.
Could it be a random deranged individual after all?

This is not close to Nancy's neighborhood.

20 miles, 35-40 minute drive from where she lives.

The answer to this case may be understanding who would want to punish one or more of NG's survivors. And why? This could be tricky to find out as it could open up other cans of worms. Where are the perceived potential debts/infractions and I don't mean just financial.

We are talking about Nancy tonight. Plus I have a special announcement for the members of Websleuths.com. In particular, the members participating on this thread. We go live shortly. 10:30 PM Eastern

 

[emigrate]

Is this legit? And if it is, did they find the attempted kidnapper. Scary.

I could be wrong but doesn't seem like same person. The Sept one, the guy walked with what the kids nowadays call swag and confidence. The one at NGs door seemed stiff and guarded. Sept guy didn't give any f's, walking in the well lit neighborhood, locked on target.

I've been struck as well by how passive everyone is being about this. The sheriff, FBI, family, friends, neighbors all seem to lack any kind of urgency about this poor missing 84 year old lady. No appeals from family or friends, no neighborhood searches by the community, no press conference appeals. None of the typical activity you see when a missing person case is high profile.

The whole atmosphere is off. I think the resolution of this case is going to surprise a lot of people. IMO

I agree that the whole atmosphere is off-kilter. This has been a bizarre part of this case. Nobody -- Sheriff, FBI family, friends, neighbors --have seemed engaged in a personal way in helping bring NG home by making passionate appeals, begging the kidnappers, joining together as volunteers to help search et.al. Very strange that we've heard very little pleas from friends, family and neighbors, and we really haven't heard any urgent, pressing appeals or much in the way of offers to help search.

I also agree that the resolution of this case may be quite surprising to many people.

JMOO

This is not close to Nancy's neighborhood.

20 miles, 35-40 minute drive from where she lives.

For me 20 miles is close enough to stand out when it comes to kidnapping.
This was an attempted kidnapping, adult male trying to take a lady, didn't know each other apparently. Is this happening alot in US? I'm really curious about that.
Idk, here where i live this is very rare so if a case like Nancy would happen the LE would def also look into this attempted kidnapping only 20 miles away.

I read here somewhere that is it LD? I get confused by all the initials, but he was not in the state at the time or he was on some job? Hopefully someone comes along about this "alibi" he keeps telling reporters he has.

Edited to add LD has evidently clammed up? He now put up no trespassing signs all over his property. Interesting.

So there was no Guthrie case related landfill search?

 

[BigCityAccountant]

Didn't tmz say something about them being far enough away that they could have her back within 12 hours? It's been so long but I could have sworn they had her house with a big circle that said 12 hours at 60mph this was the radius? Harvey drives me crazy so I could have tuned him out. Was it only 2?

Found it, scroll down 700 mile radius, no way they could have searched that Nancy Guthrie Kidnapper Likely From Tucson Area, First Activity in Bitcoin Account

I call hogwash on the 700 mile radius---there is NO NO way this perp is traveling hundreds of miles with a kidnap victim.

Stay close, she's there somewhere.

Why risk getting pulled over with an 84 y/o kidnap victim in your car that every media outlet has posted NG's picture out there. If there is one thing this perp accomplished---is that EVERYONE now knows NG and her big beautiful smile.

IMHO, if in fact the ransom note is real---you'd want to drop her off somewhere and get the hexx out of dodge so you don't spend the rest of your life wearing a custom designed orange wardrobe.

 

[Silverstorm]

Have you watched the video? Can you please link it?

There have been so many video’s of people’s door camera’s recording video of people going through so many people’s yards in Arizona. I would not only get camera’s for front and back door— I would get a german shepherd.

I believe you're thinking about CP. LD hasn't done any interviews at all. His lawyer did put out a statement. IMO

You make an especially good point about searches. This is very unusual, and I hadn’t thought of it.

 

[annpats]

I was wondering. Why haven't they showed us a video of her leaving or even a car leaving that night?

Or even a video of Nancy returning from her family's dinner party that night?!

I agree. I-15, loaded with lots of cameras, and even though there are big towns, Phoenix, Vegas, always lots of Arizona and Utah highway patrol. Same as I-10, and the small towns to stop, folks are usually friendly and nosey, this time of year, lots of "Snowbirds".

It may seem like a lot of space, but people are super friendly in that area. No point in going far away. Better and safer to just stay in Tucson, someplace anonymous.

 

[annpats]

It has been said that she no longer had a subscription to Nest so they cannot just pull up videos

Yet, miraculously, they did.

Oh, yes, I think you got me there, I hate having to use initials it gets me confused. I didn't even realize there were was it 2 different men and one of their spouses or mothers, been so confused. So it was the guy "C" that was driving the RR? He was the one who was doing all the interviews claiming he has an alibi? LD has done no interviews and put up all the no trespass signs then? I hope I have it right now if not let me know. We have to use initials if they were detained by police still? Can only use their full first name if arrested?

 

[kevin1000]

Thanks for this!

Yes. There must be more to it because LE continues to be very interested in these gloves and no one would just throw them out of a vehicle. The implication to me is a lost glove as they were removed while entering the getaway vehicle at that location.

Anyone else notice that there hasn't ever really been the onslaught of urgent public pleadings and efforts to actually locate Ms. Guthrie as we've seen in other missing/kidnapping cases? Doesn't it seem that that would be the most important thing for a variety of reasons, personal and investigative, even if she is dead?

Not criticizing anyone - just noticing that is all. The media has been laser focused on this primarily due to the public interest more than anything else it seems, but they'll be gone soon enough because they've effectively been told to move on.

Indeed, no one appears to be continually pleading for Nancy's safe return. No one is begging media to STAY AND HELP to keep hope alive and the lines open. Pretty much everyone acts as if they know she is dead, and in my view have acted this way from the onset.

Yet one more bizarre thing about all of this I suppose.

JMO.

I've thought of this since the start. They put out photos and the story but I felt like nobody really emphasized what NG looks like. I'm talking practical details. What the heck was she wearing? Glasses? Is her colored? So many little details.

There's a lack of pleading or any appearing, but they might be fearful. So hard to say. SG and her siblings must be exhausted but how do you quit. You don't. The worst will be if SG has to return home with no answers. All of it is awful. MOO, the Guthries seem like good, hard working people. I think SG has worked hard for what she has. They all seem kind. Makes no sense. Fair is where you get cotton candy.
