The Guthrie Family’s Direct Appeal
The search for 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie took an emotional turn today as her son, Camron Guthrie, released a direct video message to those believed to be holding his mother. Flanked by his sisters, Savannah and Annie, Camron spoke directly into the camera with a clear, steady voice intended for a specific audience.

“Whoever is out there holding our mother, we want to hear from you,” Camron said in the footage released via social media and NBC News. “We haven’t heard anything directly. We need you to reach out, and we need a way to communicate with you so that we can move forward. But first, we have to know that you have our mom.”
Savannah Guthrie added a desperate reminder of their mother’s physical vulnerability: “She is without her daily medication for a serious heart condition. She lives in constant pain. We are asking you to show mercy and let her come home.”
Investigation Update: DNA and Technical Sabotage
As the video plea circulated globally, the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI provided a grim forensic update. Sheriff Chris Nanos confirmed that blood found on the porch of Nancy’s Catalina Foothills home has been positively identified as hers via rapid DNA testing.
Furthermore, investigators have mapped out a timeline of technical interference that suggests a calculated abduction:
- 1:47 a.m. Sunday: Nancy’s front door security camera was manually disconnected.
- 2:28 a.m. Sunday: The monitoring application for Nancy’s pacemaker ceased transmitting data to her smartphone.
“The evidence suggests she was taken against her will by someone who understood her home security layout,” Sheriff Nanos stated. The FBI has since increased the reward for information to $50,000.
The Ransom Note Mystery
Federal agents are currently vetting several ransom demands sent to media outlets and the family’s representatives. While one individual has already been arrested for attempting to “clout-chase” with a fake $20 million Bitcoin demand, the FBI is taking a second, more specific note very seriously. This note reportedly set a deadline of 5:00 p.m. today, February 5, though authorities have not confirmed if contact was established following Camron’s public request for a communication channel.
National Support
The disappearance has resonated across the country, with Savannah Guthrie stepping away from her planned coverage of the 2026 Winter Olympics to remain in Arizona. President Trump has also weighed in, stating on social media that he has authorized “every federal resource possible” to assist in the recovery of the “beloved mother of a national icon.”
