Nancy Guthrie’s sister Annie and her husband were recently spotted for the first time following Nancy’s reported disappearance.
The disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie in Tucson has become one of early 2026’s most closely watched cases. As the mother of Savannah Guthrie, the situation has drawn national focus, though at its core it remains a family’s painful ordeal.
Nancy was last seen on January 31, 2026, after spending time with relatives and returning to her Catalina Foothills home. Concern grew the next morning when she missed an engagement and could not be reached, prompting a welfare check.
Inside the residence, deputies found evidence that led authorities to classify the home as a crime scene. Officials stated that signs suggested she did not leave voluntarily, shifting the case from a missing-person inquiry to a suspected abduction investigation.
The Pima County Sheriff’s Department launched a full investigation, securing the property, collecting forensic evidence, interviewing contacts, and reviewing surveillance footage. Sheriff Chris Nanos described the case as active and expanding.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation joined to assist with forensic testing, digital analysis, and coordination across jurisdictions. No arrests have been made, and no suspects have been publicly identified.
Authorities confirmed the family is cooperating fully and urged the public to avoid speculation. Savannah Guthrie has requested privacy while remaining in contact with investigators.
As of February 23, 2026, Nancy’s whereabouts remain unknown. Officials stress that verified evidence — not rumor — will determine the outcome, while the search continues with urgency and care.
