Nancy Guthrie: The Latest as of February 24, 2026

The Pima County Sheriff's Department is actively pushing back on recent media reports claiming that doorbell camera images of a masked man seen outside Nancy Guthrie's home were taken on different days — maintaining the integrity of the key surveillance evidence at the center of the investigation. Savannah Guthrie has announced that her family is now offering a $1 million reward for the recovery of her mother, adding to existing reward funds.

Key Evidence and Investigation Status

Over 400 investigators from local, state, and federal agencies are actively working the Nancy Guthrie case, running down thousands of tips. The FBI's doorbell camera footage from the morning of Nancy's disappearance shows a masked man wearing gloves, carrying a backpack, and armed with a gun in a distinctive holster. Investigators are pursuing the holster's unique characteristics through gun shops across the region in hopes of identifying the suspect.

A glove found approximately 2 miles from Nancy Guthrie's home appeared to match the gloves worn by the suspect in the doorbell footage. However, DNA from the glove returned no match in the FBI's national CODIS database, which contains more than 19 million offender profiles. DNA samples found inside the home are described as "mixed" — containing genetic material from at least two people — and are currently undergoing forensic genetic genealogy analysis, a technique that can connect unknown DNA to relatives and build a suspect family tree even without a direct database match.

No suspect or person of interest has been publicly identified. All family members, including all siblings and their spouses, have been cleared.

Ransom Notes and Communications

At least three media outlets — two Tucson TV stations and TMZ — received what appeared to be ransom notes demanding millions of dollars in Bitcoin for Nancy Guthrie's safe return. The FBI has been investigating the authenticity of these notes. The Guthrie family publicly addressed possible captors in multiple videos, and Savannah Guthrie said plainly: "We will pay." Authorities confirmed the decision to pay any ransom rests entirely with the family.

Critical Details About Nancy Guthrie's Health

Nancy Guthrie, 84, is mentally sharp and independent, but has physical challenges. She requires daily medication that can be fatal if not received within 24 hours. It remains unknown whether she has her medication with her. She has a pacemaker with Bluetooth connectivity — its monitoring app showed a disconnect from her phone at 2:28 AM ET on February 1.

Savannah Guthrie's Public Statements

Savannah Guthrie stepped away from all NBC broadcasting duties immediately after her mother's disappearance, including coverage of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics. In her most recent public messages, she has maintained the family's belief that Nancy is alive. "We believe our mom is still out there," she has said. On Feb. 15, she addressed whoever has her mother directly: "It is never too late to do the right thing. You're not lost or alone." The White House also posted information about Nancy Guthrie on social media, and President Trump called Savannah directly on February 4, 2026, offering additional federal resources.

How to Submit Tips

Anyone with information about Nancy Guthrie's whereabouts is urged to contact authorities immediately. The case remains one of the highest-profile missing persons investigations in the country, with international attention and over $1 million in combined rewards now on the table.
