Nancy Guthrie, 84, was reported missing in the early morning hours of February 1, 2026, after authorities say evidence of forced entry was discovered at her Catalina Foothills home in Tucson, Arizona. Investigators believe she was taken sometime between late Saturday night and early Sunday morning.
According to law enforcement officials, a doorbell camera at Guthrie’s residence disconnected shortly before 2 a.m. Authorities later recovered limited residual data from the device. Investigators have also referenced a timestamp indicating when Guthrie’s medical monitoring device lost connection with her phone, which they are using as part of the timeline in the case. Officials have not publicly confirmed the exact sequence of events but have stated that the disappearance is being treated as a suspected abduction.
Concern was raised later Sunday morning when Guthrie did not attend her regular church service and could not be reached. A welfare check led deputies to her home, where they found signs of disturbance. Authorities have confirmed that blood found at the scene belonged to Guthrie. Multiple security devices at the property were reportedly damaged. Law enforcement has not disclosed additional forensic findings as the investigation remains active.
In the days following her disappearance, Guthrie’s family issued public appeals for information and asked anyone with knowledge of the case to contact authorities. Federal and local law enforcement agencies, including the FBI and the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, are assisting in the search. Officials have not confirmed the authenticity of any reported ransom communications and continue to urge the public to rely on verified updates from law enforcement sources.
The investigation remains ongoing, and authorities continue to review digital evidence, conduct neighborhood canvassing, and follow up on tips. Anyone with relevant information is encouraged to contact law enforcement.
