The search for Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of news anchor Savannah Guthrie, entered its tenth day after major developments shifted the investigation. Nancy disappeared from her Tucson home on February 1, 2026, and authorities had shared few details until a traffic stop on February 10 led deputies to detain a man in Rio Rico, about 60 miles south of Tucson. Police also searched a nearby home following a tip, but the detained man, who identified himself as Carlos, was later released and denied any involvement, explaining he may have previously delivered a package to Nancy’s home through his job. Investigators have not confirmed him as a suspect, and the search continues.
A major breakthrough came when authorities released footage from a Google Nest doorbell camera outside Nancy’s home. The video shows a masked individual with a backpack approaching and tampering with the device before taking it. Although the camera was removed and no storage subscription was active, footage was still recovered, possibly because disconnecting the device preserved the final images. Experts disagree on whether the suspect acted nervously or with experience, but investigators believe the footage could be key to identifying those responsible. As the investigation continues, officials say further updates will be shared when available.
