Authorities continue to investigate the disappearance of 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who vanished from her home in the Catalina Foothills near Tucson between January 31 and February 1, 2026. Nancy, the mother of television journalist Savannah Guthrie, was last seen after returning home from dinner with family. Early findings suggest her disappearance was not accidental, and the case is now being treated as a suspected kidnapping. Investigators say identifying a motive remains one of the biggest challenges.

Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is leading the case with support from the FBI and other agencies. Hundreds of personnel have joined search efforts, and thousands of public tips continue to be reviewed. A key development came when surveillance footage revealed a masked individual approaching Nancy’s home. Investigators hope further video evidence may help identify a vehicle or other critical details linked to the suspect.

Another important clue emerged when authorities recovered a black glove in nearby desert brush. Officials believe it resembles gloves worn by the person seen in the footage. Forensic testing confirmed the glove contains DNA, which is now being analyzed and compared with national databases. While DNA processing takes time, investigators say the results could help identify a suspect or generate new leads. Search teams have also used advanced technology to scan surrounding areas for signals from Nancy’s medical device, though no conclusive results have been reported.

Nancy’s family continues to urge the public to remain hopeful and respectful as the investigation unfolds. Savannah Guthrie and her siblings have made emotional appeals for anyone with information to come forward. Authorities stress that speculation can hinder progress and encourage continued cooperation. With local and federal agencies working together, officials remain focused on uncovering the truth and bringing answers to Nancy Guthrie’s family.
