Has Nancy Guthrie been found? Search continues into Day 11 with new images

Has Nancy Guthrie been found? Search continues into Day 11 with new images
Nancy Guthrie

Nancy Guthrie has not been found as of Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2026, 9:00 a.m. ET, and the search in the Tucson area is continuing after investigators released additional surveillance images and renewed public appeals for tips. Guthrie, 84, is the mother of a nationally known morning television anchor, a detail that has amplified attention—and also attracted hoaxes that investigators say have complicated an already urgent case.

Officials believe Guthrie was taken from her home in the Catalina Foothills area in the early hours of Sunday, Feb. 1, and they have repeatedly framed the case as an abduction rather than a voluntary disappearance.

What authorities say right now

Investigators have not announced any confirmed sightings of Guthrie since late Saturday, Jan. 31, when relatives say she was last seen after a family dinner. By the morning of Feb. 1, she did not appear for a planned commitment, and law enforcement soon escalated the response after evidence at her residence suggested she had been removed against her will.

On Tuesday, Feb. 10, officials circulated new still images connected to the timeline around the home. The images are intended to help identify an unknown person seen near the property.

New surveillance images and the camera gap

A major challenge in the investigation has been limited usable video from the home’s door-camera system around the time Guthrie disappeared. Authorities have said the device was disconnected, and that access to stored footage was not immediately available because of account and service constraints.

The newly released images reflect a push to overcome that gap by gathering any remaining footage from nearby cameras, private systems, and other sources that could place a person or vehicle in the area during the critical window.

The hoax ransom messages and a federal arrest

As the search expanded, investigators say the family was targeted with fake ransom communications. Federal authorities arrested Derrick Callella, 42, in Southern California, accusing him of sending an imposter ransom demand and threatening messages to relatives in the days after the disappearance.

Officials have emphasized that this arrest is separate from finding Guthrie and does not mean investigators have identified the abductors. Instead, it reflects an effort to protect the investigation and the family from extortion attempts and misinformation.

Where the search is focused

Search activity has included coordinated efforts by local and federal personnel, with work spanning:

  • follow-up visits and processing at the home for forensic and timeline verification

  • canvassing for neighborhood video, witness accounts, and vehicle descriptions

  • triage of public tips prompted by new images and broader media attention

Officials have also publicized a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of those responsible and Guthrie’s safe return.

What to watch next

The next meaningful developments are likely to come from three areas: identification of the person shown in the newly released images, confirmation of any vehicle movements linked to the window between late Jan. 31 and early Feb. 1, and progress on digital evidence that can corroborate the sequence of events at the home.

Until any of those threads produces a verified lead, the public-facing status remains unchanged: Nancy Guthrie is still missing, and authorities are asking anyone with concrete information—especially video from the neighborhood or firsthand observations from that night—to come forward.

Key takeaways

  • Nancy Guthrie has not been located as of Feb. 11, 2026 (ET).

  • Investigators released additional images on Feb. 10 to help identify a person near the home.

  • A separate federal case alleges a hoax ransom attempt targeting the family.
