Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was taken from her Tucson‑area home after being seen for the last time on Feb. 1 and surveillance footage captured a masked, apparently armed man at her front door.
- Two messages sent to media days after the disappearance included an initial ransom demand for millions and a later note saying Guthrie died; investigators have linked both messages to the same electronic source.
- CNN and a Tucson station withheld the full contents of those communications at the request of law enforcement and the family to preserve the ability to authenticate future messages and protect the probe.
- Savannah Guthrie renewed an emotional public plea on Today and the family and the FBI are offering rewards of $1 million and $100,000 respectively for information leading to Nancy or to those responsible.
- The Pima County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI say the investigation is active with forensic work on video, DNA and cell‑data continuing, no primary suspect identified, and public tips still sought.
