Investigation Timeline

Nancy Guthrie was last seen on January 31 when she was dropped off at her home. She was reported missing the following day at noon. The FBI is urging anyone with information to contact them at 1-800-CALL-FBI or through their online platform at http://tips.fbi.gov.

Recent Developments

Earlier this week, law enforcement detained a person for questioning regarding Nancy’s disappearance, but that individual was later released. Carlos Palazuelos, a delivery driver, confirmed he was questioned about his activities that night and mentioned he might have delivered a package to Guthrie’s residence. He stated, “I hope they get the suspect because I am not it.”

On the same day, the FBI published images of a masked individual captured on video at Nancy Guthrie’s front door, raising concerns about the circumstances surrounding her disappearance.

Community Support

Savannah Guthrie has taken to social media to express her love and hope for her mother’s safe return. In a heartfelt Instagram video, she described Nancy as “our lovely mom” and emphasized their commitment to never giving up on her while thanking the public for their prayers and support.

The ongoing investigation highlights the community’s involvement and the urgency in finding Nancy Guthrie. As the search continues, the FBI’s increased reward aims to stimulate new leads and bring those responsible to justice.
