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

Maybe it's not so mysterious at all. Maybe the neighbor thought APS might have information ON NG. Same way people call friends, family, hospitals. One place to "look" for NG. And maybe it's APS policy that, if a call is made, they're obligated to make contact, hence a home visit.

NG simply doesn't have time left. Usually missing "live" people are found within days. NG is an 84 yr old woman who needs medication (as stated within 24 hours). How much time does she have left? 3 weeks, 3 months? I was not following this case for for anything other than hope that she would soon be found. Yes, in moo, the case is going cold. JMO

I personally don’t think she ever left her home alive, and if she did I doubt she was alive much longer than a day or maybe two. That’s completely my opinion. However, that has absolutely nothing to do with the case being “cold” or not. Just because in your opinion she is no longer alive does not mean that the police are doing anything less to keep looking for her and figuring out what happened to her and who is responsible. MOO

Maybe there is a misunderstanding here what a “cold case” actually is, so here is a definition, “Any homicide or missing persons case in which all investigative leads known to the investigating agency have been exhausted. These cases need not be inactive for any fixed period of time so long as local law enforcement agencies have investigated all evidentiary leads to the fullest extent practicable.”

As of 2020, there were over 270,000 unsolved homicides in the United States and approximately 20,072 unsolved homicides in the state of Texas. Individual agencies often lack the available funding and staffing to dedicate full-time personnel to work exclusively on cold cases. Forensic testing can...

--Traffic cams in Tuscon on main streets are DOT operated and do not record at all (per police clarification). No police cams or flock cams in the entire city. So no footage on nearby main roads.
<snip>

This is so depressing . I've been wondering why why why haven't they been able to find vehicles that were on the road at that hour coming out of her neighborhood. I know there's more than one exit but there couldn't have been that many people out at that time. So this is why - no traffic cams that record in the Tuscon area. I appreciate you sharing this info so I can quit looking for an explanation.

His lives are definitely a mess of ego filled rants and ridicule however I’ll give him credit for his mapping and graphic skills, even then the volume has to barely audible

His podcasts can be informative and objective, but his live vids.. I'll just stop at that before I get myself in trouble. LOL

I can also see private searchers using drones to search a property from a distance.

Folks would suddenly get suspicious seeing a strange drone flying over their property.

In a case of a missing couple from my state - they were only found by a drone. They were elderly, and lost direction when it became dark. Search parties were sent out, but after a week they finally found them near their car on a deserted road. I live rural, so there is always something flying over my property, helicopter, private plane etc, I don't mind. JMO

Many people still retire to Arizona for the climate, at least from NY and NJ areas. Someone said many older/elderly live in the area, and often, when they get a call about a missing person, they are found wandering, or just forgot to tell someone where they were going, but this area has never seen anything like this.

Per APS vs Wellness Check:

I have had wellness checks called on me because my ex thought I was kidnapped by my brother's motorcycle gang. 2 LE came at 2 am and banged on my door and shined lights in my window until I could wake up and get dressed. 4 times.

Unless the neighbor suspected NG was being abused APS had no reason to show up. It doesn't make sense.

I had this happen with the aforementioned ex. APS came out and interviewed the caregivers. They knew they were coming and when. They don't just show up and leave a card like a landscaper. Calling APS is serious as is WChecks.

I would think APS would have to CTA if NG didn't answer the door.

JMO

It would depend on local policies, and 'normal' behaviors. MOO

FYI- It's legal to fly drones over property. As long as it's a reasonable distance (i.e above 80 ft) and you're not hovering over someone's house for a prolonged period. Property owners don't own the airspace that's beyond what is considered "a leisurely distance".

Just adding 2 and 2, NG has been living in home for around 50 years. New roof, rewiring, etc.

It was on and off the market several times in 2007, then looks like another listing in 2024. It is not uncommon for a very longtime owner to put their home on the market and realize things need to be updated before it will sell. I have read a few posts indicating some work was done last year. Roofing and electrical, although that could be an error. If true, it would expose NG to people she normally would not engage with. I would expect that LE has already looked into that. MOO

I heard they were flying Drones with 'Sniffers' to try and get a signal from Nancy's Pacemaker, and they have to be within so many feet for detection, which is why the low flight pattern over nearby properties. Drones creep me out, but knowing this procedure, I'd be all for it.

I keep thinking about the gas station camera that captured Kohberger's car in Moscow, ID. Those types of business security cameras must exist in Tucson too? I'm sure there are several directions they might have driven, but as you say, how many cars would be on the roads between 2 and 3 am? I wish there would be that sort of evidence at least suggesting a direction for LE to investigate. MOO

Not to mention them encountering what the neighbors called an overwhelming police response at the home.

all imo

Creator of Sniffer device said the range with an extender increases to 800-1000ft

That is quite an intricate theory.

First of all you would have to figure out who exactly called and why they called.

When was the APS card first reported about and/or seen on her door?

Maybe we could ask BE via X~Twitter ~ to investigate the APS card. Just how long was the card there, and who contacted APS?

 

[Moonchime]

2 days ago, someone put up the procedure for calling APS. It showed a drop down list . Caller..then..about at least10 different optons. One said neighbor. No one specific neighbor has come forward to say they were the caller. If so, please document. Many posts a couple of weeks ago were pretty intrusive talking about another neighbor who was on camera and said he lived 15 minutes away. Many here said why was he inserting himself in the investigation? Sly remarks and I think even initials were made available. I just read and rolled by.

We have all slogged through 100s of pages about a cheap nylon gun holster. No one complained. Bring up a point of inconsistency about an APS card which would be a question mark since the case was all over the airwaves and would be superfluous considering the amount of attention immediately given and that she was not even there and that fact was KNOWN if you had TV on, and people get perturbed. IMO

Whoever put up that great APS list please put it up again. If the neighbor has been "outed" the specific neighbor who made the call..please advise. Otherwise, some of us will continue to think this was "odd" and just as potentially important as a nylon gun holster. Nanos said "they sent a neighbor to check on her. IT WAS WELL KNOWN SHE WASNT THERE! And for all the Nanos detractors, suddenly he is on the money? " Thanks. JMO IMO


“The day she was reported missing a neighbor called Adult Protective Services,” Nanos said. “They sent an investigator to check on her.”

If this is so, why didn't the APS Investigator notice the local Police conducting their investigation?

Leaving a card at the door like that at the scene is often the way that they leave info for other professionals

I know what you are referring to with the blurring... however, the house is not blurred on street view, which means it wasn't requested to be blurred by anyone.

Her address appears on street view.
