Pima County Opens Urgent Video Portal as FBI Reexamines Evidence in Nancy Guthrie Disappearance

Officials say new forensic tools plus community-submitted footage could produce usable leads in a months-long case with no identified suspect.

Overview

  • Investigators say Nancy Guthrie, 84, was last seen at her Tucson-area home the evening of Jan. 31 and was reported missing on Feb. 1, after which her residence was treated as a crime scene.
  • The Pima County Sheriff’s Department has launched an urgent public portal asking neighbors to submit surveillance video as the office processes tens of thousands of tips.
  • The FBI is working with local investigators and is discussing or deploying new digital and forensic techniques, including advanced video forensics and signals analysis, to reanalyze evidence and narrow leads.
  • Authorities previously released Google Nest footage showing a masked figure at Guthrie’s front door, but officials have not publicly identified a suspect and some analysts say one image may correspond to a different date.
  • The Guthrie family has funded private investigators and offered up to $1 million in rewards, with the county offering $50,000, while independent experts have proposed unverified theories about a local worker’s involvement.
