Activity at Nancy Guthrie's Home

Nancy Guthrie, an 84-year-old Bible teacher and author, was abducted from her Tucson, Arizona home on February 1, 2026. She is also the mother of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie. The Pima County Sheriff has stated that Nancy has difficulty walking long distances and could die without her daily medication. Initial evidence in the case came from a doorbell camera at Guthrie's residence, which captured a masked and armed suspect approaching her front door at 2:12 a.m. Her pacemaker reportedly stopped transmitting data around 2:28 a.m. The FBI has since become involved in the investigation, which was initially handled by the Pima County Sheriff's Department. In a public plea for her mother's return, Savannah Guthrie announced a $1 million family reward for information leading to her whereabouts. This, in addition to a $100,000 reward from the FBI, has generated over 1,500 tips. Despite the volume of tips, no suspects have been identified in the kidnapping. Several leads, including a backpack found near the home and newly surfaced surveillance footage from a nearby neighborhood, have been investigated and ultimately deemed unrelated to the case. The investigation has been complicated by the receipt of several ransom notes sent to media outlets, including TMZ and local Arizona television stations, demanding millions in Bitcoin. Authorities have not confirmed the legitimacy of these notes. The FBI has been analyzing biological evidence found at the scene and has utilized polygraph tests to clear individuals in the investigation. After nearly a month of processing the scene, Nancy Guthrie's home is slated to be returned to her family. The FBI has also moved its command post from Tucson to Phoenix to more efficiently manage the long-term investigation.
