Overview
- Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing from her Tucson-area home on February 1, 2026, and investigators have treated the case as an abduction after finding blood at the scene and releasing surveillance images of a masked person at the front door.
- Savannah Guthrie renewed public appeals on June 7 and spoke tearfully on-air on June 8 asking for information and urging people to call 1-800-CALL-FBI while the family’s reward of up to $1 million and the FBI’s $100,000 offer remain available.
- Authorities say mixed-source DNA and digital-media evidence recovered from the property are being analyzed by multiple laboratories, including work coordinated with a private Florida lab, and officials describe the testing as generating new investigative leads.
- A public dispute has emerged over early federal involvement after FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau was kept out for days and offered DNA testing, a claim the Pima County Sheriff’s Department has formally denied and called coordination timely.
- The case remains unsolved with no arrests; investigators continue lab work, interviews and community tip requests and say they will pursue leads produced by forensic results while the family and law enforcement press for new information.
