Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 in the Catalina Foothills area of Tucson. After failing to attend church the next day, her family reported her missing. Authorities now treat the case as a possible abduction, citing evidence including blood matching her DNA found on her porch and signs that she likely did not leave voluntarily. No verified suspects have been publicly identified.

Amid the ongoing search, a ransom note reportedly containing a cryptocurrency demand surfaced and is being investigated by law enforcement. The FBI and Pima County Sheriff’s Office remain actively involved in the case and have asked the public for tips. Law enforcement has not confirmed the ransom note’s authenticity or linked it to any suspect.

Savannah Guthrie, Nancy’s daughter, has stepped away from her professional duties to focus on her family. Together with her siblings, she has made public appeals for their mother’s return, including asking whoever may have her to provide proof that she is alive. Additionally, Savannah has withdrawn from scheduled NBC coverage of the Winter Olympics.

Documents released in the Epstein Files indicate that Savannah Guthrie was mentioned in communications related to interviews with victims of Jeffrey Epstein. The documents reference a list of individuals interviewed for NBC Dateline, including Virginia Giuffrie, an accuser of Epstein. Savannah also conducted interviews with survivors such as Jennifer Araoz.
