Law enforcement has hit a major turning point. After 16 days of intense scrutiny, investigators are officially pivoting away from Nancy Guthrie’s relatives as primary suspects.
Sources close to the investigation tell NBC and ABC News that the 84-year-old mother of “Today” show co-host Savannah Guthrie was likely taken by a stranger. This changes the entire narrative.
While Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos insists “nobody” is technically cleared, the evidence is steering the probe in a new direction. The smoking gun? DNA recovered from Nancy’s Tucson property does not match her, her daughter, or anyone in her inner circle.
The timeline remains chilling. Nancy vanished in the early hours of February 1. Surveillance footage released by the FBI shows a masked, armed intruder—standing roughly 5’9″ to 5’11” and weighing 230 pounds—methodically disabling her Nest doorbell camera.
This wasn’t a random wanderer. The suspect carried a 9mm handgun and knew exactly how to blind the digital eyes watching the home.
Authorities also discovered blood on the front porch. Ransom notes sent to news outlets demanded action by February 5 and February 9—both deadlines have now passed in silence.
