An 84-year-old woman vanishes from her Tucson home. No witnesses. No ransom call that makes sense. And a family waiting in the kind of silence that breaks people.

Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—disappeared on January 24, 2025, setting off a national investigation that has exposed deep dysfunction between federal and local law enforcement, raised more questions than ans... more

Artwork for Finding Nancy: The Nancy Guthrie Investigation

Latest Episodes

Nancy Guthrie has been missing since February. Over a million dollars in reward money has gone unclaimed. And the three theories fighting loudest for attention all have the same problem: none of them can produce evidence that holds.

The anonymous ca... more

While Nancy Guthrie’s family waits for answers, while the FBI analyzes evidence, while over a million dollars in reward money sits untouched, the internet has decided it knows what happened. And what it decided is that none of it was real.

Nancy Guthrie lived in the same Catalina Foothills home for decades. She was eighty-four, independent, sharp, and her world ran on a routine. The people who came to her door came regularly — caregivers, service workers, delivery drivers, neighbors. S... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Two Piles Of Evidence Could Finally Break The Nancy Guthrie Case?
Q: Could advances in DNA technology and data fusion change the outcome years down the road?
Yes, experts believe that future capabilities in separating mixed DNA and integrating diverse data sources (vehicle data, cell data, surveillance) could yield breakthroughs, even if current methods are limited by the sample's complexity.
What Two Piles Of Evidence Could Finally Break The Nancy Guthrie Case?
Q: What is the likelihood that the motive was known from day one, and how does that shape the approach to the investigation?
The guest suggests that motive being known from the start is plausible but requires corroboration from multiple data points, including ransom notes, public statements, and investigative direction; the discussion emphasizes not taking ransom notes at face value and weighing them against life-proofs and FBI recommendations.
Nancy Guthrie: 41 Days Later, Her Family Is Still Waiting — and This Investigation Is Still Moving
Q: What is the presumed motive and how has the narrative evolved from initial statements to present understanding?
The motive has been described as a kidnapping from the start, with authorities indicating the possibility that the abduction went bad and there may be no proof of life; the discussion centers on whether early statements align with what actually occurred.
Was Sheriff Nanos Pushed Out Of Nancy Guthrie's Family Loop?
Q: What would be the best way to handle communication with a grieving family in a high-profile missing-person case like this?
Utilize a dedicated victim-witness coordinator to interface with the family, keep the case agent from direct daily contact to reduce emotional strain, and ensure the FBI or lead agency conveys consistent messaging while sharing behind-the-scenes progress to provide peace of mind.
Was Sheriff Nanos Pushed Out Of Nancy Guthrie's Family Loop?
Q: I'm curious, Jen, as we begin discussing all this and this development of Nanos no longer in direct communication with the Guthrie family, including Savannah and her siblings, what exactly does that mean?
The expert suggests that the family often seeks more information and with a long-running missing case, trust in the messaging can erode if communication feels incomplete, leading them to rely more on the FBI for clear, consistent updates and to use a victim-witness coordinator to manage communication effectively.
