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

[thefragile7393]

The victim had three children, one daughter is famous and rich, lives far from her mother, and where do the other two live? Couldn't they have hired a nurse or someone to take care of her mother? I don't understand... Maybe the other children live nearby and looked after her. The house must have been full of cameras and security, a person alone, in such a big house, next to a desert.

There is another daughter here.

Yes, her oldest daughter Annie and her husband bought a house last year just 4 miles from her mom, Nancy.

That's how I did it. I lived close enough to get there fast but not close enough to be in each others backyard.

Why on earth is Brian Entin allowed to be walking around a crime scene taking video?

Sheriff said processing of home was complete and it was turned back over to the family. Would be up to the family to keep strangers from walking up to front door.

I don’t believe Brian Entin would walk up to the house without permission. He’s always been respectful in all the years I’ve been watching him.

I personally am hopeful that Nancy is alive.

EDITED MY POST because suddenly convinced the kidnapper is reading websleuths!

Entirely possible as we've seen this before...

Savannah may have lived far away but kept in good touch with family or so it seems. Brother and sister nearby and she was just with Annie on Sat. night for dinner. Yes they could hire a nurse but Mrs. Guthrie was fine to look after herself and did not want one. A nurse would not have helped with this situation. Not sure why so many questions about the family.

brother also lives in Tucson.

I AM amazed he is out there alone? No fences around this place..walk right up to the front door. Why not protect it until this is resolved? I am really confused on how this investigation is being handled. If LE is not going to put up some tape maybe the family should? These guys are operating like Mayberry RFD.

Mayberry RFD? They turned the property back over to family. So securing it is now on the family. Certainly not anything new or different. JMO

Maybe it is secured and Brian Entin got permission to go in. I don't believe media can just wander in there.

Is anyone else thinking that maybe the (somewhat erratic and excitable) sheriff has this all wrong and there was no abduction? I'm imagining Mrs. Guthrie waking in the middle of the night, falling on the way to the bathroom, stumbling out the door (to get help? because she didn't recognize her own house?), walking down the driveway and disappearing into the brush and dying, perhaps farther away than where she is believed to be able to walk. So many times bodies are found in areas already searched thoroughly, so I'm not convinced that if she was within 100 yards of the house the searchers would have actually found her.

Anyway, at this point, knowing foreign DNA hasn't been found and that cameras haven't identified an intruder, this makes more sense to me than kidnapping an 84 year old woman in the middle of the night. And the ransom notes seem clearly ridiculous.

Does this mean
there was no forced entry as previously reported?

Also
I wonder if these houses are equipped with alarms?
Usually,
such alarms are connected either to Police or Security firm.

Not to mention,
the alarm is so loud, the whole neighbourhood is awoken.

It would sure strongly suggest no forcible entry via the front door. But forceable entry could have been at another point in the home, broken window, back or side door, etc.

I think this is going to be a sexually motivated homicide committed by a stranger, or a relative stranger.

In the first two examples, you'd expect to find a body.

from the quoted post:
"I'm entitled to something NG is not giving me," OR
"NG is an obstacle to my getting what I want," OR

The perp(s) may have removed her to make it seem she disappeared on her own, to deflect from their crime.
No DNA found (apparently), so perp(s) were savvy enough to wear gloves and protect themselves.

As for the sexually motivated crime, to me, equally possible.

Brian did not say much about how he was able to get that close.

 

[Sadi]

She was taken through the front door but it's possible the perpetrator made entry through a different door, which nasty shoe evidence of a forced entry.

JMO

That’s what I was wondering since the TMZ article said the door was kicked in.

 

[Pharmasgirl]

Really??

Brian K./ID murders was known to follow this site.

They've made it really clear that she wasn't physically able to walk out of the house by herself.

 

[DizzyB]

Can anyone confirm what happened to the Ring camera? I’m hearing different versions-was it removed already when law enforcement arrived, or was it removed by law enforcement?

 

[oceanverde]

I missed in this thread that there's been an alleged ransom note, per TMZ. Wow. Sorry for being behind.

Probably the last thing on their minds right now
