Nearly two months after Nancy Guthrie vanished from her Tucson, Arizona home, her family has released a powerful new emotional statement and a detailed timeline of information that may hold the key to finding her. The appeal, made public on Saturday evening, March 21, 2026, marks one of the most urgent pleas the family has made since the 84-year-old disappeared in the early morning hours of February 1, and it comes as federal investigators quietly return to her neighborhood with fresh questions.
The statement was released in connection with a local television special titled Bring Her Home: The Disappearance of Nancy Guthrie. It was signed by Nancy’s three children — Today show co-host Savannah Guthrie, her brother Camron, and her sister Annie — along with each of their spouses.
If you have any information that could help locate Nancy Guthrie, contact the FBI tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI or submit a tip at tips.fbi.gov. The FBI is offering a $50,000 reward. The Guthrie family has separately offered $1 million.
A Family in Anguish Speaks Directly to Tucson
The family’s statement opened with warmth before turning to heartbreak. They expressed deep gratitude to the Tucson community, writing that neighbors, friends, and local residents had become family to them during this ordeal. But the heart of the message was a direct plea: someone in southern Arizona knows something, and the family believes that person may not even realize what they are holding.
“We miss our mom with every breath and we cannot be in peace until she is home,” the statement read. “We cannot grieve; we can only ache and wonder.”
Those words reflect the raw, impossible place the family finds itself in — suspended between hope and grief, unable to mourn because Nancy has not been found. Their focus, they wrote, remains entirely on finding her and bringing her home.
The Critical Timeline Investigators Need You to Revisit
The family specifically asked the community to focus on two time periods: the evening of January 31 and the early morning hours of February 1, as well as the late evening of January 11. The significance of January 11 has not been publicly explained by investigators, but they had previously asked neighbors to check any security footage from that date.
The known sequence of events on the night Nancy disappeared has been pieced together by investigators in the weeks since. On January 31 at 5:32 p.m., she took an Uber to a family dinner. At 9:48 p.m., she arrived home and her garage door opened. By 9:50 p.m., the garage door had closed, indicating she was safely inside.
Then, in the early morning hours of February 1, things went terribly wrong. At 1:47 a.m., her front doorbell camera disconnected. At 2:12 a.m., motion was detected at her home. By 2:28 a.m., the app connected to her pacemaker had gone silent. When family members arrived at her home later that morning after she missed a scheduled church livestream, they found her wallet, phone, and personal belongings still inside. She was gone.
FBI Returns to the Neighborhood With New Questions
Even as the family made their public appeal, federal investigators were quietly working in the background. FBI agents returned to Nancy Guthrie’s Catalina Foothills neighborhood, knocking on doors and asking residents new questions — this time with a focus on a nearby vacant property and homes under active construction.
Investigators reportedly asked one resident for the names of contractors and construction workers connected to a nearby home being built. Retired law enforcement experts have noted that vacant or under-construction properties can serve as staging locations, giving potential suspects a way to monitor a neighborhood’s routines and timing without drawing attention.
Investigators believe Nancy was the victim of a targeted abduction — not a random crime. Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos has stated that authorities believe they know why her home was specifically chosen. However, no suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been made.
Evidence Collected at the Scene
Blood found on Nancy’s front porch matched her DNA. A glove recovered near the home yielded DNA from an unidentified individual. Doorbell camera footage captured a masked person wearing a backpack tampering with the camera, trying to block its view before removing a plant from the yard to obscure it further. The front doorbell camera itself was later found to be missing entirely.
Additional images were also recovered by the FBI from security cameras covering the pool area, backyard, and side yard of Nancy’s property. Those images captured family members, landscapers, and pool workers in the weeks before the disappearance. Nothing in those images was considered suspicious, and no footage from the night of the abduction has been recovered from those cameras.
Investigators have also secured in-car video from the Uber ride Nancy took on January 31. Nothing notable was found in that footage — her demeanor appeared normal and nothing in the vehicle raised concern.
More Than 1,500 Tips and a Community That Refuses to Give Up
The FBI has received more than 1,500 tips since the Guthrie family announced a $1 million reward for information leading to Nancy’s recovery. That volume of tips reflects how deeply this case has captured national attention. But investigators and the family alike know that the answer may lie in a single overlooked detail rather than a flood of leads.
In the Catalina Foothills neighborhood, a growing community memorial outside Nancy’s home continues to draw visitors. Residents drop off fresh flowers and handwritten notes. Local residents have been vocal about their refusal to let the case fade into the background as media attention has gradually decreased.
One Tucson resident who visited the memorial recently captured the sentiment felt by many: “It is not over. Something happened, someone knows something, and we are praying that someone will come forward and do the right thing.”
All of Nancy’s immediate family members have been cleared as possible suspects by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department.
Savannah Guthrie and Her Siblings Hold On to Hope
Savannah Guthrie stepped back from her Today show duties after her mother’s disappearance, including responsibilities that had been planned around coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics. She has since returned to New York and briefly visited the Today studios, where she told colleagues: “I’m still standing, and I still have hope, and I’m still me.”
That resilience, shared publicly by a daughter in the middle of a parent’s unexplained disappearance, has struck a chord with viewers and followers across the country. Her social media posts throughout this ordeal have been raw, direct, and unwavering in their message — bring her home.
The family’s latest statement is a reminder that despite the passage of nearly two months, this case is anything but closed. Investigators remain active, new questions are being asked, and the family holds firm in their belief that someone in the greater Tucson area knows something that can change everything.
There is still time to make a difference. If you know something, no matter how small or uncertain, contact the FBI. It may be the piece that brings Nancy Guthrie home.
