The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie, who has been missing since February 1, has now extended into its seventh week as of this Sunday. Her family is fervently appealing for renewed efforts and attention to uncover answers and locate their missing loved one.
In a heartfelt Instagram message posted Saturday night, the Guthrie family—Camron and Kristine, Annie and Tommaso, Savannah and Michael—implored the community to revisit any potential clues. “Please review your camera footage, journal entries, text messages, observations, or conversations that may have new significance in hindsight,” they urged.
“Every detail matters. It could unlock the mystery,” the family emphasized in their statement, which was also shared on the Instagram accounts of NBC’s “Today” show and KVOA.
Highlighting crucial moments, the family referenced the timeline from the evening of January 31, when Nancy was last seen, to the early morning of February 1, when she was reported missing. Additionally, they noted the significance of late January 11, possibly related to security footage capturing a masked individual at her doorstep.
Nancy Guthrie, the mother of Savannah Guthrie from NBC’s “Today,” remains unaccounted for, and her family is pleading for renewed attention as the search enters its seventh week.
The family’s message concluded with an emotional plea: “We miss our mom with every breath, and peace eludes us until she is found. We cannot grieve; we can only endure the pain and uncertainty. Our only focus is on finding her and bringing her home.”
“We want to celebrate her beautiful and courageous life, but we cannot do that until she is brought to a final place of rest,” the statement said. “Thank you for continuing to pray without ceasing.”
The family said they believe someone in the community may be holding a critical detail, even if they do not yet realize its importance. In their statement, the Guthries wrote, “Someone knows something,” and added that “No detail is too small. It may be the key.”
“We are deeply grateful for the outpouring from neighbors, friends, and the people of Tucson,” the statement, posted just before midnight ET, began. “We are all family now.”
“We continue to believe it is Tucsonans, and the greeted Southern Arizona community, that hold the key to finding resolution in this case,” the statement said. “Someone knows something. It’s possible a member of this community has information that they do not even realize is significant.”
Nancy Guthrie disappeared the night of Jan. 31 after a dinner with family and was reported missing Feb. 1 after she did not show up for church.
Since then, investigators have released video of a suspected abductor at her doorstep and asked residents within a two-mile radius of her Catalina Foothills home to review and submit any unusual footage recorded between Jan. 1 and Feb. 2.
Investigators have also examined reports tied to a masked intruder seen on doorbell cameras and ransom demands involving cryptocurrency. TMZ reported one of the messages described itself as a “highly sophisticated” ransom demand and was forwarded to the FBI. The FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department continue to investigate the suspected abduction.
A more than $1 million reward is being offered for information leading to Nancy Guthrie’s recovery. Anyone with information is urged to contact the FBI at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip through the Pima County Sheriff’s Department or the FBI’s online tip form.
