Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson‑area home on Feb. 1 after blood was found at the scene and FBI doorbell footage showed a masked person on the porch.
- Multiple news organizations reported Tuesday that a ransom‑style message sent to media in the days after her abduction said Guthrie died shortly after being taken.
- Investigators have reviewed numerous communications, treated at least some notes as potentially credible, and traced some messages to the same IP address while DNA recovered from gloves has produced no CODIS match so far.
- Savannah Guthrie made an emotional on‑air plea Tuesday asking anyone with information to come forward; the family is offering a $1 million reward and the FBI has offered up to $100,000.
- Volunteer searches, including efforts near the Arizona–Mexico border, have not found Guthrie and authorities say ongoing forensic testing and public tips remain the main routes for advancing the active, unsolved investigation.
